EB 8091-1 EN 21
Measures for preparation
4.3 Storage
Risk of valve damage due to improper stor-
age.
− Observe storage instructions.
− Avoid long storage times.
− Contact SAMSON in case of different stor-
age conditions or long storage periods.
We recommend regularly checking the con-
trol valve and the prevailing storage condi-
tions during long storage periods.
Storage instructions
− Protect the control valve against external
inuences (e.g. impact).
− Do not damage the corrosion protection
(paint, surface coatings). Repair any
damage immediately.
− Protect the control valve against moisture
and dirt. Store it at a relative humidity of
less than 75%. In damp spaces, prevent
condensation. If necessary, use a drying
agent or heating.
− Make sure that the ambient air is free of
acids or other corrosive media.
− The permissible storage temperature of
standard control valves is –4 to +149°F
(–20 to +65°C).
Contact SAMSON's After-sales Service de-
partment for the storage temperatures of oth-
er valve versions.
− Do not place any objects on the control
valve.
Special storage instructions for elastomers
Elastomer, e.g. actuator diaphragm
− To keep elastomers in shape and to pre-
vent cracking, do not bend them or hang
them up.
− We recommend a storage temperature of
59°F (15°C) for elastomers.
− Store elastomers away from lubricants,
chemicals, solutions, and fuels.
SAMSON's After-sales Service department
can provide more detailed storage instruc-
tions on request.
4.4 Preparation for installation
