Safety instructions and safety measures
1 Safety instructions and safety measures
Intended use
The SAMSON Type3525 Globe Valve in combination with an actuator (e.g. Type3571
Pneumatic Actuator) is designed to regulate the ow rate, pressure or temperature of liquids,
gases or vapors. The valve is designed for use in high-pressure on/off applications in up-
stream and midstream oil and gas production.
The valve with its actuator is designed to operate under exactly dened conditions (e.g. oper-
ating pressure, process medium, temperature). Therefore, operators must ensure that the con-
trol valve is only used in applications 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, SAMSON must be contacted.
SAMSON does not assume any liability for damage resulting from the failure to use the
valve for its intended purpose or for damage caused by external forces or any other external
factors.
ÎRefer 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 in the technical data
−Use outside the limits dened by the valve accessories mounted on the control 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
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 are to 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.

Safety instructions and safety measures
Personal protective equipment
We recommend wearing the following protective equipment depending on the process medi-
um:
−Protective clothing, gloves and eyewear in applications with hot, cold and/or corrosive
media when working near or on the valve
−Hearing protection when working near the valve
ÎCheck with the plant operator for details on further protective equipment.
Revisions and other modications
Revisions, conversions or other modications to the product are not authorized by SAMSON.
They are performed at the user‘s own risk and may lead to safety hazards. Furthermore, the
control valve may no longer meet the requirements for its intended use.
Safety devices
Upon supply air or control signal failure, the valve moves to its fail-safe position (see sec-
tion3.1). The fail-safe action of the actuator is the same as its direction of action and is spec-
ied on the nameplate of SAMSON actuators (see actuator documentation).
Warning against residual hazards
To avoid personal injury or property damage, plant operators and operating personnel must
prevent hazards that could be caused in the control valve by the process medium, the operat-
ing pressure, the signal pressure or by moving parts by taking appropriate precautions. They
must observe all hazard statements, warning and caution notes in these mounting and oper-
ating instructions, especially for installation, start-up and maintenance.
Responsibilities of the operator
The operator is responsible for proper operation and compliance with the safety regulations.
Operators are obliged to provide these mounting and operating instructions to the operating
personnel and to instruct them in proper operation. Furthermore, operators must ensure that
operating personnel or third persons are not exposed to any danger.
Responsibilities of operating personnel
Operating personnel must read and understand these mounting and operating instructions as
well as the specied hazard statements, warning and caution notes. Furthermore, the operat-
ing personnel must be familiar with the applicable health, safety and accident prevention
regulations and comply with them.

Safety instructions and safety measures
Referenced standards and regulations
The SAMSON Type3525 Globe Valve complies with the requirements of ASMEB16.34.
1.1 Notes on possible severe personal injury
DANGER
!
Risk of bursting in pressure equipment.
Control valves and pipelines are pressure equipment. Improper opening can lead to
valve components bursting.
ÎBefore starting any work on the control valve, depressurize all plant sections con-
cerned and the valve.
ÎDrain the process medium from all the plant sections concerned as well as the valve.
ÎWear personal protective equipment.
1.2 Notes on possible personal injury
WARNING
!
Crush hazard arising from moving parts.
The control valve contains moving parts (actuator and plug stems), which can injure
hands or ngers if inserted into the valve.
ÎDo not insert hands or ngers into the yoke while the valve is in operation.
ÎWhile working on the control valve, disconnect and lock the pneumatic air supply as
well as the control signal.
Risk of personal injury when actuator vents.
While the valve is operating, the actuator may vent during closed-loop control or when
the valve opens or closes.
ÎInstall the control valve in such a way that the actuator does not vent at eye level.
ÎUse suitable vent plugs.
ÎWear eye protection when working in close proximity to the control valve.

8 EB 8823 EN
Safety instructions and safety measures
WARNING
!
Risk of personal injury due to sudden escape of process medium.
The valve has a safety bleed to detect damaged or worn O-rings. The process medium
may escape suddenly and at high pressure.
ÎWear protective clothing, gloves and eyewear when working near or on the valve.
ÎDo not stay in the range of the safety bleed longer than necessary.
Risk of personal injury due to residual process medium in the valve.
While working on the valve, residual process medium can escape and, depending on its
properties, may lead to personal injury, e.g. (chemical) burns.
ÎIf possible, drain the process medium from all the plant sections concerned and the
valve.
ÎWear protective clothing, gloves and eyewear.
Risk of burn injuries due to hot or cold components and pipelines.
Depending on the process medium, valve components and pipelines may get very hot or
cold and cause burn injuries.
ÎAllow components and pipelines to cool down or heat up.
ÎWear protective clothing and gloves.
Risk of personal injury due to preloaded springs.
Valves in combination with pneumatic actuators with preloaded springs are under ten-
sion. These control valves with SAMSON pneumatic actuators can be identied by the
long bolts protruding from the bottom of the actuator.
ÎBefore starting any work on the actuator, relieve the compression from the preloaded
springs (see associated actuator documentation).

Safety instructions and safety measures
1.3 Notes on possible property damage
NOTICE
!
Risk of valve damage due to contamination (e.g. solid particles) in the pipeline.
The plant operator is responsible for cleaning the pipelines.
ÎFlush the pipelines before start-up.
ÎObserve the maximum permissible pressure for both the valve and plant.
Risk of valve damage due to unsuitable medium properties.
The valve is designed for a process medium with dened properties.
ÎOnly use the process medium specied for sizing the valve.
Risk of leakage and valve damage due to excessively high or low tightening torques.
Excessively tightened torques lead to parts wearing out quicker. Parts that are too loose
may cause leakage.
ÎObserve the specied tightening torques (see Table5 and Table6).
Risk of valve damage due to the use of unsuitable lubricants.
The lubricants to be used depend on the valve material. Unsuitable lubricants may cor-
rode and damage the valve surface.
ÎOnly use lubricants approved by SAMSON (see parts list).
