    The document provides operating and safety instructions for control valves. It warns that before any work is done on a valve, personnel must be trained, the line must be depressurized and drained, and pressure/temperature limits must be checked. It also instructs that valves be stored properly, protected from damage, and installed ensuring the materials can withstand the process conditions. Detailed installation and maintenance steps are outlined, and only Sempell spare parts should be used for repairs.

    Operating and Safety Instructions

    Control Valves

    Before installation these instructions must be fully read


    and understood

    SEMPELL

    Storage / Protection / Selection

    WARNING!
    For safety reasons, it is important to take the
    following precautions before you start work on
    the valve:
    1. Personnel making any adjustments to the
    valves should utilise equipment and clothing
    normally used to work with the process
    where the valve is installed.
    2. The line must be depressurised, drained,
    cooled down and vented before installing the
    valve.
    3. Handling of all valves, operators and
    actuators must be carried out by personnel
    trained in all aspects of manual and
    mechanical handling techniques.
    4. Ensure the valve pressure/temperature
    limitations marked on the identification label
    are above or equal to service conditions.
    5. It is possible, in some valve designs, for
    sealed cavities within the valve body to
    be filled with liquid, for example during
    hydrostatic test. If this liquid is not released,
    by partially opening the valve or some other
    means, and it is subject to a temperature
    increase, excessive pressure sufficient
    to cause pressure boundary failure can
    be generated. Where such a condition
    is possible, it is the responsibility of the
    purchaser to provide, or require to be
    provided, means in design, installation,
    or operating procedure to assure that the
    pressure in the valve will not exceed that
    allowed by the pressure rating of the valve.

    Storage
    When Sempell control valves are to be stored for some time before being fitted, storage should be in the
    original delivery crates with any waterproof lining and/or desiccant remaining in place. Storage should be off
    the ground in a clean, dry, indoor area. If storage is for a period exceeding six months the desiccants bags
    (if supplied) should be changed at this interval. If valves are stored for longer than 12 months they should be
    inspected by Sempell personnel before installation.
    Protection
    Sempell control valves are delivered with protection according to customers specification, or in accordance
    with the Quality Assurance Manual. To protect the valve buttweld profiles (if applicable) from damage
    wrapping and/or covers should be left in place until immediately before fitting to the pipe.
    Selection
    Ensure the valves materials of construction and pressure/temperature limits shown on the identification plate
    are suitable for the process fluid and conditions. If in doubt contact Sempell.
    Installation
    1. Sempell control valves are bi-directional unless fitted with a flow direction arrow. If a directional arrow is
    fitted than the valve must be installed with the arrow pointing in the direction of the flow.
    2. Unless specifically stated on the general arrangement drawing, installation may be carried out with stem
    displaced through any angle or any angle permitted by the bolt holes, if flanged connection.
    3. Remove protective covers from valve end faces and protection applied to the valve stem (if applicable).
    4. For flanged valves ensure that mating flanges and gaskets are clean and undamaged. For buttweld valves
    ensure that the weld profile is clean and in a suitable condition for welding.
    5. Should there be any possibility of abrasive particles (weld slag, sand, chemical clean residue etc.) within
    the piping system, this could damage valve seating. The system needs to be thoroughly flushed / blown out
    clean prior to operation.
    6. If valve ends are flanged, ensure pipe mating flanges are aligned correctly, bolting should be easily inserted
    through mating flange holes. Tighten the flange bolts in a diagonal pattern.
    7. Fit the valve into pipework ensuring easy access of the operating mechanism (handwheel, actuator) if
    applicable.
    8. Welding and heat treatment temperature limitations (if applicable) will be stated on the general
    arrangement drawing. Consideration must be given to these limitations.
    9. All valves must be partially opened prior to welding.
    10. Refer to point 5 flushed clean: Usually used valve materials are resistant against pickling fluids (as the pipe
    material is). If required, check resistance to pickling with pickling company. If necessary, disassemble valve
    inserts and replace by special pickling inserts. Protect sensitive places by varnish or coverplates.
    Note: Damages can also occur during flushing with high speed by foreign bodies, e.g. at valve seats. Move
    valve into open position and do not actuate during pickling and flushing. The pickling process has to take
    place uninterrupted. Do prevent unnecessary long impinge of the pickling fluid. Remove pickling fluid
    completely, e.g. by flushing. Thereby take special care to dead spaces in valves and dead pipe sections
    (perform inspection if necessary).
    Replace gaskets and gland packing coming in touch with the pickling fluid, carefully clean sealing areas
    before replacement.
    11. Check gland / pressure bolts before operation (during start up, or even in service bolt tension may decrease
    or even drop).
    12. Sempell does not accept liability when a/m regulations, instructions and warning indications are not
    observed and adhered to.

    Operation & Routine Maintenance


    Read all warning labels fitted to the valve before operation or maintenance!
    Scope
    Sempell control valves are operated manually or
    by an external operator (electric / pneumatic /
    hydraulic).
    Operation
    All handwheel operated valves, including valves
    operated by electric actuator, are clockwise to
    close. The closed position is indicated by the
    shut indicator on the valve as well as the indicator
    arrow on the electric actuator (if fitted). Actuator
    torque/travel switches are set at the factory prior to
    shipment but must be checked prior to operation
    according the actuator sizing sheet (if applicable)
    and actuator instructions, but do not change torque
    settings.
    Check the gland/pressure seal bolts in operation.

    Do not use additional force, for example the use of


    a wrench on the handwheel, to operate a valve.
    Routine Maintenance
    If valves are fitted with grease nipples then grease
    should be applied at 3 month intervals using Shell
    Alvania R.A., grease of equivalent (see Sempell
    lubricant list). Exposed, threaded, operating stems
    should have grease applied at similar intervals.
    Lubricate any actuators, gearboxes according to
    individual manufacturers instructions.
    No other routine maintenance is required other than
    periodic inspection to ensure satisfactory operation
    and sealing.
    Any sign of leakage form the gland packing should
    be addressed immediately be depressurising the
    valve and tightening the gland screws gradually

    and evenly. If no further adjustment is possible or


    seat leakage is suspected, the valve will require
    a complete overhaul. This should be carried out
    after depressurisation and in accordance with the
    relevant Sempell maintenance instruction. Only
    Sempell spares should be used.
    Spare Parts
    Sempell valves are identified by the order number
    which is stamped on the identification plate. This
    reference should be quoted in respect of any after
    sales queries, spare parts or repair enquiries /
    orders.
