Intended use
The Type3347 Hygienic Angle Valve in combination with an actuator (e.g. Type3271,
Type3277, Type3372 or Type3379 Pneumatic Actuator) is designed to regulate the ow
rate, pressure or temperature of liquids, gases or vapors. The angle valve is suitable for use
in hygienic applications (e.g. in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors as well as the
food and beverage industry) to meet strict hygienic requirements. The valve with its actuator
is designed to operate under exactly dened conditions (e.g. operating pressure, process me-
dium, temperature). Therefore, operators must ensure that the control valve is only used in
operating conditions that meet the specications used for sizing the valve at the ordering
stage. In case operators intend to use the control valve in applications or conditions other
than those specied, contact SAMSON.
SAMSON does not assume any liability for damage resulting from the failure to use the de-
vice for its intended purpose or for damage caused by external forces or any other external
factors.
Î Refer to the technical data and nameplate for limits and elds of application as well as
possible uses.
Reasonably foreseeable misuse
The control valve is not suitable for the following applications:
− Use outside the limits dened during sizing and by the technical data
− Use outside the limits dened by the valve accessories connected to the valve
Furthermore, the following activities do not comply with the intended use:
− Use of non-original spare parts
− Performing service and repair work not described
Qualicationsofoperatingpersonnel
The control valve must be mounted, started up, serviced and repaired by fully trained and
qualied personnel only; the accepted industry codes and practices must be observed. Ac-
cording to these mounting and operating instructions, trained personnel refers to individuals
who are able to judge the work they are assigned to and recognize possible hazards due to
their specialized training, their knowledge and experience as well as their knowledge of the
applicable standards.
Welding operations are to be performed only by personnel who has the necessary qualica-
tion to perform the applied welding procedure and handle the materials used.
