Operating Conditions
■
Valves are not to be used in safety functions such
as safety loops or separating incompatible fluids.
■
Service shall be compatible with the materials of
construction. Valve selection is the responsibility of
the designer/engineer/user to determine if the valve
is appropriate for the intended service application.
■
Dependent upon the application & the possibility of
material deterioration in service, need for periodic
inspections are the sole responsibility of the user.
■
Supports shall not be welded directly to any part of
the valve.
■
It is the responsibility of the system designer to
implement adequate protection to minimize reaction
forces and moments.
■
It is the responsibility of the designer/installer to
adhere to all applicable codes & standards.
■
Valves are not to be used as flow control devices,
use is for on-off service only (not to be used for
throttling).
■
Operating valves while exceeding the temperature
and pressure limits may result in valve failures
where chemical attack or corrosion generally
occurs gradually.
