Using Flowserve Valves, Actuators
and Accessories
General Usage
The following instructions are designed to assist in unpacking, installing
and performing maintenance as required on Flowserve products.
Product users and maintenance personnel should thoroughly review this
bulletin prior to installing, operating or performing any maintenance.
In most cases Flowserve valves, actuators and accessories are designed
for specific applications with regard to pressure, temperature and
media. For this reason they should not be used in other applications
without first contacting the manufacturer.
Terms Concerning Safety
The safety terms WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE are used in these
instructions to provide additional information on important aspects of
the CEA.
a WARNING: indicates that death, severe personal injury and/or
substantial property damage can occur if proper precautions are
not taken.
a CAUTION: indicates that minor personal injury and/or property
damage can occur if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTE: provides additional technical information, which may not
be obvious even to qualified personnel.
Compliance with all other notes regarding transport, assembly,
operation, maintenance and technical documentation is essential in
order to avoid conditions or occurrences that might directly or
indirectly cause severe personal injury or property damage.
Protective Clothing
Flowserve products are often used in dangerous applications (e.g.
extremely high pressures, or with flammable, combustible, toxic or
corrosive media). In particular, valves with bellows seals point to such
applications. When performing service, inspection or repair operations,
always ensure that the valve is depressurized, the actuator is powered
off and that the valve has been cleaned and is free from harmful sub-
stances. In such cases pay particular attention to personal protection
(protective clothing, gloves, glasses, etc.).
Qualified Personnel
Qualified personnel are people who, on account of their training,
experience and instruction, and their knowledge of relevant standards,
specifications, accident prevention regulations and operating
conditions, have been authorized by those responsible for the safety
of the plant and its employees to perform the necessary work and
who can recognize and avoid possible dangers.
Installation
a WARNING: Before installation, check the order number, serial
number and/or the tag number to ensure the actuator is correct
for the intended application.
Do not insulate extensions that are provided for hot or cold
services.
Fire protection must be provided by the user.
Spare Parts
Use only original Flowserve spare parts. Flowserve cannot accept
responsibility for any damages that occur from using spare parts or
fastening materials from other manufacturers. If Flowserve products,
like sealing materials, have been in storage for longer periods, check
these for corrosion or deterioration before using. Fire protection for
Flowserve products must be provided by the user.
Service/Repair
To avoid injury to personnel and damage to products, users must
strictly adhere to safety terms. Modifying this product, substituting
non-OEM parts, or using maintenance procedures other than outlined
in this instruction could affect performance and be hazardous to
personnel and equipment, and may void existing warranties. Between
the actuator and valve, there are moving parts. To avoid injury,
Flowserve provides pinch-point-protection in the form of cover plates,
especially where side-mounted positioners are fitted. If these plates
are removed for inspection, service or repair, the cover plates must be
refitted after the work is complete.
In addition to the operating instructions and the obligatory accident
prevention directives valid in the country of use, all recognized
regulations for safety and good engineering practices must be followed.
a WARNING: Before products are returned to Flowserve for repair
or service, Flowserve must be provided with a certificate which
confirms that the product has been decontaminated and is clean.
Flowserve will not accept deliveries if a certificate has not been
provided (a form can be obtained from Flowserve).
