Intended use
The SAMSON Type3510 Micro-ow Valve in combination with an actuator (e.g. Type3271
or Type3277 Pneumatic Actuator) is designed to regulate the ow rate, pressure or
temperature of liquids, gases or vapors. The micro-ow valve is suitable for controlling low
ow rates, e.g. in pilot plants and technical research facilities. The valve with its actuator is
designed to operate under exactly dened conditions (e.g. operating pressure, process
medium, 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 other applications or conditions
than 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 in these instructions
Qualications of operating personnel

hazards due to their specialized training, their knowledge and experience as well as their
knowledge of the applicable standards.
Explosion-protected versions of this device must be operated only by personnel who has un-
dergone special training or instructions or who is authorized to work on explosion-protected
