Safety instructions and measures
1 Safety instructions and measures
Intended use
The Type2405 Pressure Reducing Valve is used to control the pressure of ammable gases
used as a source of energy, e.g. in boilers, driers, vaporizers, heat exchangers or industrial
ovens. Alternatively, it can control the compressed air supply in process engineering applications.
The device is designed to operate under exactly dened conditions (e.g. operating pressure,
process medium, temperature). Therefore, operators must ensure that the device is only used
in applications that meet the specications used for sizing the device at the ordering stage. In
case operators intend to use the device in other applications or conditions than specied,
contact SAMSON.
SAMSON does not assume any liability for damage resulting from the failure to use the de-
vice for its intended purpose or for damage caused by external forces or any other external
factors.
Î Refer to the technical data and nameplate for limits and elds of application as well as
possible uses.
Reasonably foreseeable misuse
The device is not suitable for use outside the limits dened during sizing and in the technical
data. Furthermore, the following activities do not comply with the intended use:
− Use as safety valve
− Use of non-original spare parts
− Performing service and repair work not described in these instructions
Qualications of operating personnel
The device must be mounted, started up, serviced, and repaired by fully trained and qualied personnel only; the accepted industry codes and practices are to be observed. According 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 measures
Personal protective equipment
We recommend wearing the following protective equipment depending on the process medium:
− Protective clothing, gloves, and eyewear in applications with hot, cold, and/or corrosive
media
Î Check with the plant operator for details on further protective equipment.
Revisions and other modications
Revisions, conversions or other modications to the product are not authorized by SAMSON.
They are performed at the user's own risk and may lead to safety hazards, for example. Furthermore, the product may no longer meet the requirements for its intended use.
Warning against residual hazards
To avoid personal injury or property damage, operators and operating personnel must prevent hazards that could be caused in the device by the process medium and operating pressure by taking appropriate precautions. They must observe all hazard statements, warning
and caution notes in these mounting and operating instructions, especially for installation,
start-up, and service work.
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 as well as the
referenced documents to the operating personnel and to instruct them in proper operation.
Furthermore, the operator 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 referenced documents and observe the hazard statements, warning and caution
notes specied in them. Furthermore, the operating personnel must be familiar with the applicable health, safety and accident prevention regulations and comply with them.
Referenced standards and regulations
The devices comply with the requirements of the European Pressure Equipment Directive
2014/68/EU. Devices with a CE marking have an EU declaration of conformity, which includes information about the applied conformity assessment procedure. This declaration of
conformity is included in the Appendix of these instructions (see section9.2).
EB 2520 EN 7
Safety instructions and measures
Non-electric valve versions whose bodies are not lined with an insulating material coating do
not have their own potential ignition source according to the risk assessment stipulated in
EN13463-1:2009, section5.2, even in the rare incident of an operating fault. Therefore,
such valve versions do not fall within the scope of Directive 2014/34/EU.
Î For connection to the equipotential bonding system, observe the requirements specied in
section 6.4 of EN60079-14 (VDE0165 Part 1).
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.
Î Before starting any work on the control valve, depressurize all plant sections con-
cerned as well as the valve.
Î To prevent uncontrolled excess pressure, make sure that suitable overpressure pro-
tection is installed on site in the plant section.
Î Drain the process medium from all the plant sections concerned as well as the
valve.
Î Wear personal protective equipment.
1.2 Notes on possible personal injury
WARNING
!
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.
Î If possible, drain the process medium from all the plant sections concerned and the
valve.
Î Wear protective clothing, safety gloves, and eyewear.
8 EB 2520 EN
Safety instructions and measures
WARNING
!
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.
Î Allow components and pipelines to cool down or heat up.
Î Wear protective clothing and safety gloves.
Damage to health relating to the REACH regulation.
If a SAMSON device contains a substance which is listed as being a substance of very
high concern on the candidate list of the REACH regulation, this circumstance is indicated on the SAMSON delivery note.
Î Information on safe use of the part affected, see uhttp://www.samson.de/reach-
en.html.
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 in the plant.
Î Flush the pipelines before start-up.
Î Observe the maximum permissible pressure for valve and plant.
Risk of valve damage due to unsuitable medium properties.
The valve is designed for a process medium with dened properties.
Î Only use the process medium specied for sizing the valve.
EB 2520 EN 9
Safety instructions and measures
NOTICE
!
Risk of leakage and valve damage due to excessively high or low tightening
torques.
Observe the specied torques on tightening valve components.
Excessively tightened torques lead to parts wearing out quicker. Parts that are too loose
may cause leakage.
Î Observe the specied tightening torques.
Risk of regulator damage due to incorrectly attached lifting equipment.
Î Do not attach lifting equipment to mounting parts (e.g. adjusting screw or control
line).
Conversion from chromate coating to iridescent passivation
We at SAMSON are converting the surface treatment of passivated steel parts in our production. As a result, you may receive a device assembled from parts that have been subjected to
different surface treatment methods. This means that the surfaces of some parts show different reections. Parts can have an iridescent yellow or silver color. This has no effect on corrosion protection. For further information go to uwww.samson.de/chrome-en.html.
