Informazioni di sicurezza supplementari - Additional Informations for safety
Lavorare insicurezza conprodotti
in ghisa per linee vapore
I prodotti di ghisa sono comunemente presenti
in molti sistemi a vapore.
Se installati correttamente, in accordo alle
migliori pratiche ingegneristiche, sono dispositivi
totalmente sicuri.
Tuttavia la ghisa, a causa delle sue proprietà
meccaniche, è meno malleabile di altri materiali
come la ghisa sferoidale o l’acciaio al carbonio.
Di seguito sono indicate le migliori pratiche
ingegneristiche necessarie per evitare i colpi
d'ariete e garantire condizioni di lavoro sicure
sui sistemi a vapore.
Movimentazione in sicurezza
La ghisa è un materiale fragile: in caso di
caduta accidentale il prodotto in ghisa non è
più utilizzabile. Per informazioni più dettagliate
consultare il manuale d'istruzioni del prodotto.
Rimuovere la targhetta prima di effettuare la
messa in servizio.
Working safely with cast iron
products on steam
Cast iron products are commonly found on steam
and condensate systems.
If installed correctly using good steam
engineering practices, it is perfectly safe.
However, because of its mechanical properties,
it is less forgiving compared to other materials
such as SG iron or carbon steel.
The following are the good engineering prac-
tices required to prevent waterhammer and
ensure safe working conditions on a steam
system.
Safe Handling
Cast Ironis abrittle material.If theproduct isdropped
during installation and there is any risk of damage
the product should not be used unless it is fully
inspected andpressure testedby themanufacturer.
Please remove label before commissioning

i) The products have been specically designed for use on propane or methane gases which are
in Group 1 of the above mentioned Pressure Equipment Directive. They can also be used on
steam, air or condesate wich are in Group 2 of the Pressure Equipment Directive. The products'
use on other uids may be possible but, if this is contemplated, Spirax Sarco should be contacted
to conrm the suitability of the product for the application being considered.
ii) Check material suitability, pressure and temperature and their maximum and minimum values.
If the maximum operating limits of the product are lower than those of the system in which
it is being tted, or if malfunction of the product could result in a dangerous overpressure or
overtemperature occurrence, ensure a safety device is included in the system to prevent such
over-limit situations.
iii) Determine the correct installation situation and direction of uid ow.
iv) Spirax Sarco products are not intended to withstand external stresses that may be induced
by any system to which they are tted. It is the responsibility of the installer to consider these
stresses and take adequate precautions to minimise them.
v) Remove protection covers from all connections before installation.
1.2 Access
Ensure safe access and if necessary a safe working platform (suitably guarded) before attempting
to work on the product. Arrange suitable lifting gear if required.
1.3 Lighting
Ensure adequate lighting, particularly where detailed or intricate work is required.
1.4 Hazardous liquids or gases in the pipeline
Consider what is in the pipeline or what may have been in the pipeline at some previous time. Con-
sider: ammable materials, substances hazardous to health, extremes of temperature.

43.324.5275.205
1.6 The system
Consider the effect on the complete system of the work proposed. Will any proposed action (e.g. closing
isolation valves, electrical isolation) put any other part of the system or any personnel at risk? Dangers
might include isolation of vents or protective devices or the rendering ineffective of controls or alarms.
Ensure isolation valves are turned on and off in a gradual way to avoid system shocks.
1.7 Pressure systems
Ensure that any pressure is isolated and safely vented to atmospheric pressure. Consider double
isolation (double block and bleed) and the locking or labelling of closed valves. Do not assume that
the system has depressurised even when the pressure gauge indicates zero.
1.8 Temperature
Allow time for temperature to normalise after isolation to avoid danger of burns.

Consider whether you and/or others in the vicinity require any protective clothing to protect against
the hazards of, for example, chemicals, high /low temperature, radiation, noise, falling objects, and
dangers to eyes and face.
1.11 Permits to work
All work must be carried out or be supervised by a suitably competent person. Installation and ope-
rating personnel should be trained in the correct use of the product according to the Installation and
Maintenance Instructions. Where a formal ‘permit to work’ system is in force it must be complied
with. Where there is no such system, it is recommended that a responsible person should know what
work is going on and, where necessary, arrange to have an assistant whose primary responsibility
is safety. Post ‘warning notices’ if necessary.
1.12 Handling
Manual handling of large and/or heavy products may present a risk of injury. Lifting, pushing, pulling,
carrying or supporting a load by bodily force can cause injury particularly to the back. You are advised
to assess the risks taking into account the task, the individual, the load and the working environment
and use the appropriate handling method depending on the circumstances of the work being done.

3. Installation
Note: Before actioning any installation observe the ‘Safety Information’ in Section 1.
Referring to the Installation and Maintenance Instructions, body name-plate and Technical Information
Sheet, check that the product is suitable for the intended installation.
3.1 Check materials, pressure and temperature and their maximum values. If the maximum
operating limit of the product is lower than that of the system in which it is being tted, ensure
a safety device is included in the system to prevent overpressurisation.
3.2 Determine the correct installation situation and the direction of uid ow.
3.3 Remove protective covers from all connections, before installation.
3.4 The separators may be lagged if required.
3.5 Important installation note
Install in a horizontal pipeline with the drain directly below.
Provide suitable support to the system to minimise piping loads.
To ensure that any separated liquid is drained quickly, a suitable liquid drainer or steam trap must
be connected to the drain connection.
For those steam systems where air can be present, air can collect in the upper portion of the separator.
In this situation a suitable air vent should be connected to the air vent connection.
If an air vent is not being tted then the connection must have the plastic transit protection plug
removed and must have a carbon steel class 3000 lb plug tted.

5. Operation
Separators are designed to gather together small droplets of entrained liquids and then separate
them from the gas /vapour ow. The relatively heavy droplets impinge on the internal bafes and
are then directed to the separator drain connection and removed from the system using a steam
trap, or when used on air or gas distribution system, a liquid drainer.
