Series 92-93 Pneumatic Actuator
Operations and Maintenance Instructions
General Pneumatic System
Recommendations
To maintain maximum efficiency with the Series
92/93 actuator, as well as many other pneumatic
devices, the following suggestions are offered:
Air supply lines should be run in accordance with •
a Standard Piping Practice, and should not have
exaggerated loops, which may trap condensate.
All pipe ends should be thoroughly cleaned •
and deburred after cutting to ensure that the
pipeline is clear of cuttings.
Where air pipelines are subjected to extremes •
of temperature, the system should be fitted
with air drying equipment.
If pipelines are hydraulically tested, the lines •
should be “blown down” with high pressure
air to clear all water prior to connecting the
lines to the actuator.
Where a system is dependent on air filter •
equipment, the air filters should be in posi-
tions that allow easy access for maintenance
and/or draining.
Where pneumatic valve positioners or pneu- •
matic controllers are installed in a valve actuator
assembly, oil mist lubricated air should not be
used unless the manufacturer states specifically
that the positioner or controller is compatible
with lubricated air. In general, lubricated air
is not recommended for a positioner.
Where pipe fitting sealants or tapes are used, they •
should be applied to the male threads only, and
limited to the first three threads. When applied
to female threads, excess compound or tape can
be transmitted into the actuator control lines and
cause malfunctions in downstream equipment.
Lubricators should be installed downstream •
of regulators.
Eliminate or minimize sharp bends in the air •
supply lines.
