1 General Information
The following instructions are designed to assist in unpacking, installing and performing maintenance as required on Circor D-series control valves.
Product users and Maintenance personnel should thoroughly review this bulletin prior to installing, operating or performing any maintenance on the valve.
To avoid possible injury to personnel or damage to valve parts, WARNING and CAUTION notes must be strictly followed. Modifying this product, substituting non-factory parts or using maintenance procedures other than outlined could drastically affect performance and be hazardous to personnel and equipment and may void existing warranties.
WARNING: Standard industry safety practices must be adhered to when working on this or any other process control product. Specifically, personal protective and lifting devices must be used as warranted.
2 Terms Concerning Safety
The safety terms DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE are use in these instructions to highlight particular dangers and/or to provide additional information on aspects that may not be readily apparent.
DANGER: indicates that death, severe personal injury and/or substantial property damage will occur if proper precautions are not taken.
WARNING: indicates that death, several personal injury and/or substantial property damage can occur if proper precautions are not taken.
CAUTION: indicates that minor personal injury and/or property damage can occur if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTE: indicates and provides additional technical information, which may not be very obvious even
to qualified personnel.
3 Unpacking
1.While unpacking the valve, check the packing list against materials received. Lists describing valve and accessories are in each
shipping container.
2.When lifting the valve from shipping container, use the lifting lugs attached to the bonnet bolting. Take care to position lifting straps to avoid damage
to the tubing and mounted accessories.
WARNING: When lifting a valve using the lifting lugs, be aware that the center of gravity may be above the lifting point. Therefore, support must be given to prevent the actuator from rotating. Failure to do so can cause serious injury to personnel, damage to the valve or nearby equipment.
3.Contact your shipper immediately if there is shipping damage.
4.Should any problem arise, contact your Circor representative.

the valve is in-line and, in some cases |
|
without interrupting service. If an internal |
|
problem is suspected, refer to the “Valve |
|
Disassembly and Reassembly” section. |
|
1. Look for signs of gasket leakage through |
|
the end flanges and bonnet. Re-torque flange |
|
and bonnet bolting (if required). |
|
2.Check for fluid leakage to the atmosphere through the body drain plug, if applicable.
3.Examine the valve for damage caused by corrosive fumes or process drippings.
4.Clean valve and repaint areas of severe oxidation.
5.Check packing box bolting for proper tightness.
6.If the valve is supplied with a lubricator fitting, check lubricant supply and add lubricant if necessary.
7.If possible, stroke the valve and check for smooth, full-stroke operation. Unsteady stem movement could indicate an internal valve problem.
NOTE: Due to excessive friction, graphite packing can cause the plug stem to move in a jerky fashion.
WARNING: Keep hands, hair and clothing away from all moving parts when operating the valve. Failure to do so can cause serious injury.
8.Ensure all accessories, brackets and bolting is securely fastened.
9.If possible, remove air supply and observe actuator for correct fail-safe action.
