Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not

avoided, could result in minor or moderate

injury.

Safety instructions

General safety instructions

Observe the following instructions on installation, start-up and operation of the regulator for

your own safety:

The regulator is to be mounted, started up or serviced by fully trained and

qualified personnel only, observing the accepted industry codes and practices.

Make sure employees or third persons are not exposed to any danger.

All safety instructions and warnings in these mounting and operating

instructions, particularly those concerning assembly, start-up and

maintenance, must be observed.

According to these mounting and operating instructions, trained personnel is

referred to as individuals who are able to judge the work they are assigned to

and recognize possible dangers due to their specialized training, their

knowledge and experience as well as their knowledge of the applicable

standards.

The regulator fulfils the requirements of the European Pressure Equipment

Directive 97/23/EC.

For appropriate operation, make sure that the regulator is only used in areas

where the operating pressure and temperatures do not exceed the operating

values specified in the order that the valve sizing data are based on.

The manufacturer does not assume any responsibility for damage caused by

external forces or any other external influence!

Any hazards that could be caused in the regulator by the process medium, the

operating pressure or by moving parts are to be prevented by means of the

appropriate measures.

Proper shipping and storage are assumed.

Note! Non-electric valve versions whose bodies are not lined with an insulating material coat-

ing do not have their own potential ignition source according to the risk assessment stipulated in

EN 13463-1:2001, section 5.2, even in the rare incident of an operating fault. Therefore, such

valve versions do not fall within the scope of Directive 94/9/EC.

1 Design and principle of opera-

tion

See also Fig. 2, page 5.

NOTICE

Install a strainer (e.g. SAMSON Type 2 NI)

upstream of the regulator (refer to sec-

tion 2.2).

Make sure the regulator is mounted free of

stress. If necessary, support the piping near

the connecting flanges. Never attach supports

directly to the valve or actuator.

2.1 Mounting position

Mounting position (preferable)

– Install the regulator in a

horizontal pipeline with the

actuator housing and set

point adjuster pointing ver-

tically up,

– The direction of flow must correspond to

the arrow on the body,

– Install the control line with a downward

slope of approx. 10 % towards the tapping

point to allow condensed liquid to flow

back into the tank or pipeline.

Other mounting positions

–Install the regulator in a

vertical pipeline with the

actuator housing and set

point adjuster pointing to

the side.

Note! Higher system deviations may occur in

this mounting position.

–Make sure the direction of flow matches the

arrow on the body (from bottom to top).

2.2 Strainer

Install a strainer upstream of the regulator

(Fig. 3). Install the strainer with the direction

of flow matching the arrow on the body.

Make sure the filter element is vertically sus-

pended. Remember to leave enough space to

remove it.

2.3 Shut-off valve

Install a hand-operated shut-off valve both

upstream of the strainer and downstream of

the regulator (Fig. 3) to be able to shut down

the plant for cleaning and maintenance, and

when the plant is not used for longer periods

of time.

2.4 Pressure gauge

To monitor the pressures in the plant, install a

pressure gauge both upstream and down-

stream of the regulator (Fig. 3).

2.5 Control line

G ¼ tapped connection (9) at the actuator

housing. Install a control line with at least

6 mm inside diameter on site, preferably an

8x1mmpipe made of steel or stainless steel.

Always attach the control line connection for

pressure tapping directly to the tank or vessel

as the medium is fully expanded and free of

turbulence at this point.

2 Pressure gauge (upstream pressure)

3 Strainer

4 Pressure gauge (downstream pressure)

When tapping the pressure at a straight pipe-

line section, observe a minimum distance of

at least twice the nominal valve size to the

regulator.

Connect the control lines to the side or top of

the main horizontal pipeline. If possible, in-

stall the tapping connection in a pipe expan-

sion.

Install other fittings that may cause flow turbu-

lence (e.g. shut-off valves, restrictions, bows,

bends or branches) at an appropriate dis-

tance to the control line connection (at least

three times the nominal valve size).

Note! If the gas to be controlled contains

moisture, condensate may form in the control

line, which can damage the regulator. To al-

low the gas to flow back into the tank or pipe-

line, install the control line with a downward

slope of approx. 10 % towards the pressure

tapping point.

3 Operation

3.1 Start-up

See also Fig. 2, page 5.

NOTICE

Do not start up the regulator before all com-

ponents have been installed.

Make sure the control line is free of dirt or

other contaminations that may impair the

proper medium flow.

Connect the line properly.

We recommend to open shut-off valves

slowly from the downstream side. Avoid

pressure surges.

NOTICE

The max. permissible pressure at the operat-

ing diaphragm must not exceed 0.5 bar with

A = 1200 cm², 1 bar with A = 640 cm²,

2 bar with A = 320 cm² and 4 bar with A =

160 cm².

Make sure this pressure is not exceeded, par-

ticularly when pressure-testing the plant with

the regulator installed or when starting up the

plant.

3.2 Adjusting the set point

Adjust the desired set point by tensioning the

set point springs using the set point adjuster

(SW 27/¾" adjustment screw).

4Remove the cap (10).

4Turn the adjustment screw using a socket

wrench with width across flats SW 27.

4Turn the adjuster clockwise Pto increase

the set point and counterclockwise Qto

reduce it.

4Remount the cap.

Check the adjusted set point on the pressure

gauge installed upstream of the regulator

(Fig. 3).

3.3 Decommissioning

We recommend to close the upstream shut-off

valve before closing the shut-off valve in-

stalled downstream of the regulator.

4 Maintenance and trouble-

shooting

The pressure regulator is maintenance free.

Nevertheless, it is subject to natural wear,

particularly at the seat, plug and operating

diaphragm.

Depending on the operating conditions, the

regulator needs to be checked at regular in-

tervals to detect and remove possible mal-

functions.

CAUTION!

For installation and maintenance work on the

regulator, make sure the relevant plant sec-

tion has been depressurized and, depending

on the process medium, drained as well. We

recommend to remove the regulator from the

pipeline.

If necessary, allow the regulator to cool down

to reach ambient temperature before starting

any work on it.

Disconnect or shut off the control line to avoid

any hazards that could be caused by moving

regulator parts.

As valves are not free of cavities, remember

that residual process medium might still be

contained in the valve.

4.1 Pressure fluctuations

NOTICE

Pressure fluctuations (oscillation) may dam-

age the regulator and plant. As a result, pre-

vent them from occurring or remove their

cause immediately.

To stop oscillation from occurring, the follow-

ing actions may be helpful:

4Check the pressure tapping point at the

control line (refer to section 2.5); if neces-

sary, move the tapping point.

4Screw a SAMSON restriction into the

sleeve for the tapped connection (9): or-

der no. 1991-7114 for 1200 and

640 cm², order no. 1991-7113 for 320

and 160 cm².

4Check the regulator's sizing data. If nec-

essary, change the KVS coefficient, seat di-

ameter or diaphragm area.

Contact SAMSON (refer to section 6) if the

problems persist.
