User Instructions LinedFlow - KMENIM3202-02 01/12

Observe caution with residues flowing out of the line or

remaining in the dead chambers of the valves. In the case of

dangerous mediums, observe the usual safety precautions

– particularly protective clothing.

WaRNINg:

Disconnect or loosen the fastners – particularly

between bonnet and housing – only after the valve has been

removed. When reinstalling, tighten the bolts as specified in

these maintenance instructions using a torque wrench.

TRaNSPORT aND STORagE

Handle, transport and store FLOWSERVE control valves

carefully.

2.1

Store the valve in its protective packaging and/or with the

protective caps on the connection ends. Valves heavier

than approx. 10 kg should be stored and transported on a

pallet (or similarly supported, where applicable also on the

installation site).

WaRNINg:

Do not place unpackaged valves on dirty

surfaces with the flange sealing surfaces. Hard and/or sharp

particles can damage the plastic lining.

2.2

During storage before installation, the valves should be

stored in a closed room as a rule and protected against

damaging influences such as dirt or moisture.

2.3

Large valves can be picked up using hoisting belts on

the yoke stems / eyes or - if present – on the supporting

shackles provided for this purpose. If hoisting belts are

used for unpacking, connect them so that the outer piping

and attached parts are not damaged.

WaRNINg:

If hoisting belts are used, the center of gravity

of the valve can be higher than the connection point. In

such cases, secure the valve against turning or support it to

prevent injury or property damage.

In the event of transport damage, please contact your

FLOWSERVE representative immediately.

3 INSTaLLaTION

3.1 General

The same instructions apply for installing FLOWSER-

VE control valves in a pipeline as for connecting pipes

and similar piping elements with plastic liner mate-

rials. For control valves, the following instructions

apply in addition. Observe Section 3 for transport at

the installation site.

WaRNINg:

Handle valves with particular care and observe

instructions for flange connections.

NOTE:

As a rule, additional flange seals are not required.

The counterflanges must have smooth sealing surfaces in

all cases, e.g. Form C, Form D or Form E according to Stan-

dard DIN 2526 or Form B1 or B2 according to EN 1092-1

or stock finish according to ANSI B16.5. Other flange forms

must be coordinated with the manufacturer.

In addition, observe the following for actuators:

WaRNINg:

Never subject actuators to external loads; this

can damage the valve – actuators are not step ladders -

WaRNINg:

Heavy actuators must be supported in a suita-

ble manner if it is possible that their installation situation

would exert an impermissible bending force on the valve.

INTENDED USE

The series 132000 valves from Flowserve Essen GmbH

can be installed in all areas endangered by gas explosion,

because they do not have any potential ignition sources.

The valves can be used for shutting off the flow of non-

combustible gaseous mediums and combustible gaseous

and fluid mediums far below the maximum explosion limit.

Inside the valve the atmospheric range is not reached un-

der the conditions (see table below); here Directive 95/9/EC

is not applicable. Please note that certain (non-conductive)

mediums at certain flow rates can result in a potential

(static charge), which is subject to the operating conditions

and therefore is the responsibility of the operator.

4.1

Description of Unit

The valve is a lined control valve. The housing consists

of cast iron and the lining and gaskets are of elastomer

material.

The compatibility of the materials used with the surroun-

ding mediums must be observed in particular by the

operator.

4.2 Evaluation

Conformance with EN 13463, Parts 1 through 8 (non-

electrical explosion protection)

The fittings fulfill the following requirements.

4.2.1 All exposed parts were subjected to the impact and envi-

ronmental stress tests in conformance with

EN 13463-1 by the manufacturer and satisfy the require-

ments.

4.2.2 The valve body for the valves consists of cast iron. Forma-

tion of sparks resulting from the effect of exterior impact is

excluded under normal conditions.

5 INSTaLLaTION

WaRNINg:

Plastic liners on the valves require particular

protection before/during installation; therefore:

caUTION:

Transport valve to installation site in protective

package if available. If flange covers are present, remove

them only immediately before installation.

5.1

Check valve for transport damage. Do not install damaged

valves.

Ensure that only valves are installed whose pressure class,

type of connection and connection dimensions satisfy the

installation conditions. See Markings and Valve specifica-

tions.
