The control valve types mentioned above are according to ANSI B 16-34. They reduce the pressure / control flow
by single step or multi-step parabolic plug or perforated plug. By changing valve lift (plug position), the annular
area between plug and seat changes, which in turn changes the flow. The flow characteristics is determined by
the profile or the size and orientation of holes in case of perforated plugs. At zero lift (close position of valve) the
plug taper rests on the tapered edge of the seat and thus provides metal to metal closing. In case of multi-step
parabolic plugs, only the last-step has taper which rests on the seat in closed position.
2.0 Getting Started

2.1 Installation
The place of installation should be selected to have sufficient valve accessibility around the valve for dismantling
and repairs.
Valve size 6” and above should have sufficient space above the valve to mount a chain pulley block.
When valves are mounted in a raised position, a platform should be provided atleast on one side of the valve.
The valve with flanged ends can be directly installed in the pipeline with flanges. The valves with welded ends
can be directly welded in the line. In both cases following points must be considered :
a) The valve should be in a horizontal position, with valve spindle in vertical position as shown in the cross
section drawing no. 140 - AN and 100-AN.
b) The upstream and downstream piping of the valve should be properly supported to avoid excessive
stress on the valve body.
c) Upstream and downstream of the control valves, there should be a straight flow at atleast 10 x valve size
(in mm) without any interruption by stop valves, elbows etc.
d) To avoid longer breakdown of the plant a bypass should be installed.
2.2 Before First Start Up

All the mainlines as well as pneumatic air lines must be thoroughly flushed before first commissioning.
Following points must be taken care during flushing of these lines :-
a) During flushing, flanged control valves should be taken off the line and replaced by a spacer.
b) If the valve is welded in the line all internal parts including top and bottom flanges have to be removed
and top and bottom flanges should be blanked with specially ordered blank flanges. Dismantiling and
assembling of the valve internal should be carried out as per 4. (TROUBLE SHOOTING)
c) If the flushing is done with the assembled valve in line the valve must be dismantled and cleaned thoroghly
after flushing. Special attention to be given to all the hollow spaces and gaps.
d) Parts which have been corroded by the pickling / cleaning process have to be repaired or replaced.
Specially take care of probable leftover of pickling fluid in stuffing box area.

Please refer to drawing No. 140-AN and 100-AN
a) At the first startup, the gaskets (16) may leak due to setting. If so the nuts (18) should be tightened
equally and evenly. Also there may be leakage through gland packing (12) due to setting of packing rings
by pressure and temperature effect. Therefore, tighten the gland nut (9) slightly. This tightening of gland
nut must be done just sufficient to stop leakage. Excessive tightening will increase friction between
packing rings (12) and spindle (8) will result in bad control quality.
b) Control valve in steam line with high temperature should be slowly heated up before startup to avoid
thermal shocks.
7
3.0 Maintenance
3.1 General
The valve spindle (8) must be kept clean in places with bad environmental conditions. The cleaning should be
done when the valve spindle is in the upmost position.
3.2 Routine Maintenance

As a part of routine maintenance it is only necessary to retighten the gland nut (9) if any leakage through gland
packing starts. Also it may be necessary to tighten the nuts (18) on top and bottom flanges if the gasket (16)
leak due to changing pressure and temperature.

4.1 Addition of Gland Packing Rings
If the leakage cannot be stopped by retightening of the gland nut it will be necessary to add one or two packing
rings. For this the valve should be pressureless and drained. Remove the lift indicator coupling. Take the
actuator spindle in the uppermost position and lock it there. Unscrew the gladnut and lift the gland follower (10)
out. Graphited rings can now be slipped over the spindle and pushed down in stuffing box with the help of gland
follower (10).
Endless pure graphite rings can also be carefully cut in two halves and laid around the spindle so that the
broken faces match again. Push down the ring in the stuffing box with the help of gland follower. In this case the
lift indicator coupling need not be removed. (Refer part No. 53 FIG III SECTION II)
4.2 Replacement of Gland Packing Rings

The valve must be pressureless and drained. Dismantle the lift indicator coupling between valve and actuator
spindle.
Unscrew the slotted nut (13) and the actuator can now be taken out. Now loosen the nut (18) of top flange.
Uncrew the gland nut (9) and the gland follower (10) can be lifted up. Care should be taken while removing top
flange specially in steam and hot gas piping as slight leakage in any stop valve can pressurise the control valve.
After ensuring the the valve is pressureless, top flange alongwith plug spindle (8) assembly can be completely
taken off the body. Take out the old packing rings (12) with the help of a hook. also take the bottom ring (11) out
of the stuffing box.
Clean all the parts of stuffing box including all the threading. Also clean the top flange in guide bush (7) area and
gasket (16) area. Smear all parts with Molykote HSC or Molybedenum Disulfied grease. In some special cases
this grease cannot be used due to chemical reaction or with inflammable fluid.
Clean gasket seating area in body. Use a new gasket (16). Apply Mo-S2 grease to gasket also. Carefully place
the plug spindle assembly on seat (4). Place the top flange on the valve body. Smear bolt threads with Mo-S2
grease and tighten the nuts equally and evently.
Insert bottom ring (11) in stuffing box bore. Push packing ring around the valve spindle. Take care that the
oblique cuts on ring are staggered. Finally, assemble the gland follower (10) and screw gland nut (9). Slightly
tighten gland nut (9). Mount actuator and tighten the slotted nut (13). Connect valve spindle with the actuator
spindle using lift indicator and start the process. (Refer to 2,3).
8
4.3 Replacement of Seat
The seat is replaceable as it is screwed in the body. Acutator, top flange, plug, spindle assembly should be
dismantled according to 4.2 above.
Seat can be unscrewed by a special tool. Smear the thread of new seat with Mo-S2 greas (with the exception
of some special fluids.) Screw in new seat with the help of special tool.Reassemble as per 4.2 above.
For screwing and unscrewing of the seat, specially in case of larger valve size it is recommended to use
pneumatic tools.
4.4 Replacement of Plug

Dismantle actuator top flange and plug spindle assembly as described in 4.2. It is recommended to replace
complete plug spindle assembly instead of plug assembly. Assembly of new plug spindle can be done as
described above.
4.5 Recommended Spares

It is recommended to keep following spare parts in stock.
1. Seat and plug spindle assembly. (Part No. 4,5 and 8)

2. Set of gaskets. (Part No. 16)
3. Set of Gland packing ring (Part No. 12)

1.2 Principle of Operation (Refer Fig. III)
The unversal diaphragm actuators are operated by compressed air. The air is admitted in the diaphragm cover
(28) which deflects a diaphragm (32) which in turn moves the actuator spindle (37) which compresses the spring
between diaphragm plate (38) and spring plate (33). By removing air from diaphragm cover, the spring expands
which results in movement of the spindle in the opposite direction. Thus the actuator spindle actuated one way
by air and the other way by spring.
2.0 Getting Started

1) The name plate (39) on the actuator contains the data concerning the valve and the actuator.
2) When ordering spare parts always state App. No. marked on the name plate.
3) On reversing the actuator or changing the operating conditions check data on the name plate, if necessary
order new name plate with corrected data.
4) After replacing spare parts make sure that the joint between diaphragm cover (28) and spring housing
(46) and the O-ring (26) are tight. Also check that lift and initial spring tension are correctly adjusted.
5) Diaphragm (32) can with stand temperature from - 30 Deg C to + 100 Deg C. To increase life of diaphragm
in case of high temperature, we recommend to provide a heat protection and in case of temperature below
10 Deg C to provided dry air.
6) The mounting position of actuator is vertical on top of the valve. For other mounting position please
consult us.
7) The diaphragm cover (28) has a connection of 1/4” NPT for actuator sizes UO/UI and 1/2” NPT for sizes
UIII/UV. The air tubing which supplies air to the actuator must have minimum 6 mm inner diameter
(8mm OD x 1 mm thick).
2.2 Installation
The actuator offers easy mounting of positioner, roboter, limit switch and air filter Regulator. The spring housing
(46) has two tappings of M8 in front and at the back. The support (55) is constructed according to NAMUR
principle and provided two tappings of M8 for mounting accessories.
The handwheel arrangement is a seperate sub assembly which can be mounted at any time. On air failure remove
the handwheel lock (6) from the lower hole of the handwheel (11/17) and put it into the hole at the upper end of the
handwheel spindle.
In case of Air-to-close arrangement (valve opened on air failure) to close the valve turn handwheel (1) clockwise.
In case of Air to open arrangement (valve closed on air failure) to open valve turn handwheel (1) anti-clockwise.
ATTENTION : Before changing to automatic service with air, turn handwheel (1) to uppermost position and
replace handwheel lock to lower hole of spindle.
2.3 Commissioning of the Product
The initial tension of spring (38) can be adjusted so that different operating conditions in the valve can be adapted
to the available spring ranges.
The air pressure given to the actuator must be sufficient to start the spindle movement. If the required pressure
for starting the spindle movement is above or below the desired starting signal (e.g. 0.2 bar), it can be corrected
by turning the adjustment bolt (42) until the starting signal and start of spindle movement correspond. The spring
tension (i.e. starting air signal) can be increased by turning adjustment bolt (42) anticlockwise.
3.0 Reversibility of the Actuator

The actuator is constructed in such a way that it can be reversed at any time without additional parts and thus the valve
can be changed from an air to open into a air to close and vice versa. This can be achieved as follows :
3.1 Unscrew 2 No. screws (23) and remove cap (22)
3.2 Uncrew 4 nos. bolts (21)
3.3 The diaphragm cover (28) and spring housing (46) bolted together can be mounted in reverse sense
(i.e. upside down) on the support (55).
11
3.4 Tighten 4 no. bolts (21) and also assemble cap (22) by tightening 2 nos. screws (23).
if the diaphragm cover (28), is above the increasing signal pressure effects a downward movement of the actuator
spindle (37).
If the diaphragm cover (28) is below the increasing signal pressure effects an upward movement of the actuator spindle
(37).
The handwheel arrangement is designed for one action only. For reversing the handwheel arrangement with “Diaphragm
cover below” part no. 7,8,9,10,11,15 and 17 are required. However for handwheel arrangement with “Diaphragm cover on
top”. Part No. 4,5,11,13,14 and 18 are required.

The actuator has enormous spring force, especially in case of reinforced springs. It is not possible to release the spring
totally by adjustment bolt (42) in every case. Therefore, use the mounting aid !
The mounting aid consists of long hex bolts and special nuts as shown in the drawing.
4.1 Exchange of Spares
The mounting shows the mounting proceedings for the two actuator versions ‘O’ (air to open) and ‘S’ (air to close)
and for the different spare parts. Proceed with the mounting step by step according to the numerical 1, 2, 3, etc.
of the mounting plan. (refer Mounting plan)
4.2 Mounting Succession (Refer Fig. IV)

1) At first remove only 2-4 nuts and bolts (34 and 36) symmetrically as shown in the drawing.
2) Replace these with the mounting aids and tighten.
3) Now loosen and remove all nuts and bolts (34 and 36)
4) Loosen the mounting aids slowly and evently, so that the diaphragm cover and spring housing seperate,
releasing the spring tension.
5) Now the actuator can be further dismantled and spare parts can be replaced as per mounting plan. The
reassembly follows in reverse succession.

(refer above figure)
The Multi-Spring Actuators (MSA) are operated by compressed air. The air is admitted in the actuator housing (11),
which deflects the diaphragm (9), which in turn moves the actuator spindle (6) which compresses the springs between
the diaphragm plate (4) and actuator plate (1). By removing air from diaphragm cover, the springs expand which
results in the movement of the spindle in opposite direction. Thus the actuator spindle actuated one way by air and
other way by springs.
6.0 Getting Started

The nameplate on the actuator contains the data concerning the valve and actuator, When ordering spare parts
always mention the application number marked on the nameplate. On reversing the actuator or changing the
operating conditions check the data on the nameplate, if necessary order new nameplate with corrected data.
After replacing the spare parts make sure that all the joints especially between the actuator cover (1) and the
actuator housing (11) and O-ring (18) are tight. Also check that lift and initial spring tension are correcty adjusted.
Diaphragm (9) can withstand temperature from - 220 F to + 2120 F. To increase life of diaphragm in case of high
temperature, we recommend you to provide heat protection and in case of temprature below 140 F to provide
dry air.
The mounting position of actuator is vertical on top of the valve. For other mounting position please consult us.
The diaphragm cover (1) has a connection of 1/4” NPT for actuator size MSA - 1 and of 1/2” NPT for sizes
MSA-II/III. The air tubing, which supplies air to the actuator must have minimum 0.24” inner diameter.
(0.31” OD x 0.04” thick.)
6.2 Installation
The actuator offers easy mounting of positioner, Pneumatic Controller, Air Filter Regulator and Limit Switch. The
spring housing (11) has two tapings of (M8) in front. The support (22) is constructed according to NAMUR
principle and provides two tapings of M8 of Mounting accessories.
The hand-wheel arrangement is a separate subassembly, which can be mounted at any time. In case of air to
close arrangement (valve opened on air failure) to open the valve turn the hand-wheel (30) clockwise. In case of
air to open arrangement (valve closed on air failure) to open turn the hand-wheel anti clockwise.
Attention : Before switching to automatic service with air, turn hand-wheel (30) to uppermost position.
7.0 Assembly Instructions For MSA Actuators

7.1 * Actuator Assembly

two numbers M8 long bolts by standard M8 x 25 bolts. Tighten all bolts partially till fully tightened up to
torque level of 8.85 lbf.in.
16
8) Establish pneumatic connection at (11) the base of actuator housing. Pressurize assembly and check for
ease of spindle movement, lift (should be at least 0.08” more than specified) and leakage from joints
(raise supply pressure to 72.52 psi)
9) Assemble nut cover along and cap plastic at respective places.
7.2 * Actuator and Support Assembly :

1) Place the actuator on the top of actuator support, locate plug in the hole provided on top face of the
support. Tighten nut-spindle on boss base ensuring its location in the step provided in the support. This
ensures alignment of valve and actuator spindle.
2) Tighten nut-spindle fully using C-spanner.
7.3 * FM Valve and Actuator Assembly

1) For Air to open operation, ensure that the valve spindle is completely down and plug is sitting tight on
the seat.
2) Place actuator- support on the valve top flange taking guidance of the step on valve top flange. This
ensures alignment of valve and actuator spindle.
3) Clamp two halves of the lift indicator, carefully aligning the split threads of the indicator with that the
spindle.
8.0 Reversibility of MSA Actuator

The actuator is designed in such a way that it can be reversed at any time without additional parts and thus valve
can be changed from Air to open to air to close and reverse. This can be done in following sequence :
a. Remove nut cover (2) / hand-wheel assembly from actuator cover (1).
b. Remove lock nut (10) from top of spindle (6).
c. Remove spindle off the actuator assembly from bottom side.
d. Remove boss base from actuator housing.
e. Insert spindle from top of the actuator aligning in the guide diaphragm plate (5). Tighten lock nut
on the spindle.
f. Assemble boss base, along with o-rings and slide bearing on actuator cover.

1. How to reverse actuator with or without hand-wheel ?
1.1 Open the valve till it is 10% opening giving signal of around 6 mA or mannually using hand-wheel.
1.2 Unscrew the coupling. Disassemble the lift indicator and remove the hand-wheel assembly by unscrewing
the grub screw (35), hand-wheel support (36) and hand-wheel assembly (30) in anti-clockwise direction.
1.3 Remove all the tubing. Remove positioner and accessories if any.
1.4 Unscrew the spindle nut (21) ; remove any two opposite nut bolts of the actuator and insert two no. Long
bolts (M8) size. This is for avoiding accident that might happen due to initial compression of springs.
1.5 Unscrew all the remaining nut-bolts diagonally.
1.6 Remove the cover (1), springs (3).
1.7 Pull out the diaphragm plate assembly with the spindle (6).
1.8 Hold the spindle in vice in the slots at its bottom. Unscrew lock nut (10), remove diaphragm plate (4),
diaphragm (9), o-ring (8), ‘Diaphragm plate support’ (7).
17
1.9 Assemble all above parts from diaphragm plate support (7), as shown in the ‘air to close diagram.
** It is essential to order boss base (17), with two o-rings (20) and slide bearing (19) and air to close hand
wheel assembly as shown or if the actuator is without hand-wheel then nut cover (2), to be ordered.
1.10 Assemble the diaphragm plate assembly into the cover (1) as shown in figure air to close.
1.11 Tighten the spindle nut (21).
1.12 Do all the tubing to the actuator housing (11) in the vent provide (27).
** a) There are certain changes to be made in Positioner / Pneumatic Controller as the case may be.
These are explained in the respective manuals.
2. How to check diaphragm failure and air leakage ?
2.1 Give 87 Psig air supply at air inlet (27).
2.2 Put soap solution near ‘boss base assembly’ (17). All the joints, spindle and cover interface and diaphragm
clutching (periphery) and check for bubble. No leakage is allowed. in case of leakage tighten the joints or
change the o-rings with respect to the area of leakage.
3. How to change the increase / dicrease force capability ?
3.1 Force capabilities can be changed, by increasing number or type of springs. This is for MSA-I actuator.
In case of U-series, turn the adjustment bolt clock-wise till the desired lift position of valve spindle is
achived at higher air pressure. In case further force capabilities are required, change the spring type to re-
enforce from standard and if already re-enforced is used then go for higher sized actuator.
4. How to adjust (using coupling) the valve lift with the actuator lift ?
4.1 Change the position of end of valve spindle in the coupling and adjust its distance with the actuator
spindle such that the valve completes its travel.
5. How to check the spring range ?
5.1 Give air pressure to the actuator slowly.
5.2 Note the pressure reading when the actuator spindle starts moving. Suppose the spring range is 3-15
Psig. The actuator spindle starts moving at 3 Psig and attends maximum lift at 15 Psig. If any deviation in
this is not found then couple the actuator spindle with the valve spindle at the required lift.
6. How to mount various accessories on the actuator ?
6.1 Mounting the Positioner :
Mount the positioner on the support on inlet side of the valve at opposite side of air inlet of the actuator. Fit
the Positioner link on lift indicator. Fit the Positioner mounting bracket to the Positioner. Fit the threaded
pin in to stroke scanning lever depending upon valve size. Fit the positioner support / yoke.
6.2 Mounting Position Transmitter :
Fit the positioner link on the opposite side of Positioner. Mount the bracket to Position Transmitter. Fit the
stroke scanning lever to shaft, which is extruding out of the Transmitter. Fit the thread pin to stroke
scanning lever depending upon size of valve. Mount the Position Transmitter, on support on opposite to
Positioner on the other leg of support.
6.3 AFR / ALR / Booster Relay / I to P / Solenoid Valve :
Mount the bracket on actuator by loosening any of the actuator cover bolt nearest to the positioner and
accessories to be connected to it to save tubing length. Fit the AFR / ALR on the bracket.
18
6.4 Limit Switches :
Mount the limit switches on its bracket using screws / nuts. Mount the bracket on the hand-wheel support
using M8x20 mm size bolt. After mounting proper tubing as per plan is to be made. Ensure Zero Leakage.

1 Danger and Warning Indications

The construction of the FMPL safety valves corresponds to the latest state of engineering
and the valid safety regulations.
Nevertheless, improper use or improper installation can cause risks for the personnel or can
lead to restrictions in regard of the operational safety. Therefore, the FMPL recommends
the operator of the safety valves to take appropriate measures and make sure that the present
operating instructions are read and understood by the assigned personnel.
Application Limits
It is only allowed to use the valves according to the details of this operating
instructions and according to the parameters and application cases agreed in the
delivery contract (see nameplate). The application of the valve has to take place
adequate to the medium tolerances of the used materials.
Warnings for the operating and maintenance personnel
Before commissioning and maintenance works familiarise yourself with the legal
accident prevention regulations, the local safety instructions and this operating
instruction and observe them.
Use the safety valve and its individual parts and accessories only for the purpose
intended by us.
Please observe the following points besides the notes given in the text:
! Danger of burning at safety valves and with the connected pipes while operating under
increased temperature.
! Disassembly of the safety valve only in case of pressureless plant and after cooling
down.
! Protection against risks caused by evaporation also in case of pressureless system; for
information please contact the safety inspector concerned.
! After assembly check all sealing points in regard of tightness.
! In case of adjustment make changes at pressure screw and adjusting ring only with
clearly reduced pressure to avoid unintended response.
! Carry ear protection during adjustment, if necessary.
! Danger of burning by discharge of small amounts of possibly hot medium in case of
safety valves with open spring bonnet (VSE 1, VSR 1).
! Danger of injury while discharging at disconnected discharge line.
! Extreme vibrations can lead to inadmissible increase of operating pressure with the
possibly destruction of the safety valve or to the destruction of the balanced bellows with
unintentional escape of medium.
Exclusion of Liability
FMPL cannot be held liable in case of improper maintenance and adjustment of a
Sempell safety valve, use of inadmissible spare parts or utilities and in case of a
temporary or permanent connection of equipment with the safety valve which is not
approved by us.

2 Description
Spring-loaded full lift safety relief valves are direct acting safety valves for protection of
pressure tanks against inadmissible excess-pressure.
A cylindrical compression spring creates the closing force on the valve disc against the
opening pressure of the medium below the valve disc. At normal operating conditions the valve
seat is held tight.
By changing the spring compression it is possible to change the set pressure. In case of
exceeding set pressure, the pressure of the medium prevails and the safety valve opens.
With full lift characteristic the safety valve opens rapidly at full lift and discharges the total mass
flow necessary to prevent a further pressure increase.
With normal characteristic the safety valve reaches the lift necessary for the mass flow to be
discharged after response within a pressure increase of maximum 10 %.
After a defined pressure decrease, the safety valve closes again.
By means of the lifting lever at the cap the safety valve can be opened by hand with a set
pressure of 85 % at least.
The safety valves are type tested and comply with the requirements of the standards and
regulations.
Use within areas exposed to danger of explosion

The safety valves underwent a hazard analysis according to code 94/9/EC with the following
result:
! The safety valves do not have a potential ignition source. ATEX 94/9/EC is not
applicable to these valves.
! The valves safety may be used in the EX range
! Electrical / pneumatical accessories have to undergo a separate assessment of
conformity according to ATEX.
! The surface temperature does not depend from the valve itself but from the operational
conditions. Observe while installing.
3 Operation
3.1 Warning Indications for the Operation
Observe safety regulations!
Attention! Unstable behaviour of safety valves such as chattering or vibrating can

destroy the valve seat, the safety valve or the pipe and thus causing the failure of
the safety function or the shutdown of the plant. Therefore, observe regulations and
empirical notes regarding design and dimensioning, fitting and installation.
Attention! Safety valves with weight loading, type VSE 4, are blocked for the
transport. Before commissioning remove blocking stem and mount gag plug (17)
with gasket (40).
10.10.03 Ott/Sc
Angebot / Quotation
! Design and dimensioning: Do not use larger safety valves than necessary! In case of
back pressure use safety valves with bellows.
! Fitting and installation: Lay supply line as short as possible. Use as few bends as
possible.
! Keep supply line free from vibrations. Absorb or avoid pressure surges and waves, e. g.
caused by pumps or other valves.
! Drain the discharge line and the valve body at their lowest point. Condensate can impair
the function of the safety valve.
! Protect lines and valve against freezing.
3.2 Storage Rules

To preclude damages during loading and unloading, move the valve with suitable lifting gears.
Handwheels and other driving elements are unsuitable as impact points. The transport shall
preferable take place by cable or transport pallet.

At delivery provide the outsides of all ferritic parts of the safety valve except the welding edges
with a coat of paint.
The insides of the body are protected by a watery corrosion preservative that has a long-term
effect because of the film formative active agents.
All connection inlets are closed by corresponding caps.
In this state the safety valve can be stored in closed, dust-free and dry rooms lying on a pallet
without difficulties. Time of storage about six months. A storage of more than six months asks
for disassembly and visual check of the inner parts of the safety valve. A weather-protected
outside storage is not allowed.
10.10.03 Ott/Sc
Angebot / Quotation
For spare parts out of elastic material (O-rings, scraper rings, rod and piston gaskets)
additionally apply:
Temperature: The temperature of the storage shall be between 0 °C and 25 °C since

otherwise a hardening of the material and so a shortening of durability will follow. Shield
heating elements and lines in heated storeroom so that no direct heat irradiation arises. The
distance between the heat source and the stocks has to be 1 m at least.
Moisture: To prevent the formation of condensate, avoid moist storerooms. A relative humidity
of below 65 % is at best.
Lighting: The products of elastic materials are to protect from direct sun light and from strong
artificial light with a high ultraviolet part. Therefore supply the windows of the storerooms with a
red or orange (in no case blue) paint.
Ozone: Protect products of elastic materials from ozone (formation of cracks and
embrittlement). The storeroom may not contain ozone generating systems (fluorescing
sources of light, mercury vapour lamps, electric motors, etc.).
Oxygen: Protect products out of elastic materials from draught by storage in airtight tanks.
Oxygen causes cracking and embrittlement.
If these requirements are guaranteed for products out of elastic materials, the storage time is
about 5 years.
For spare parts out of steel:

Store the parts in closed, dust-free and dry rooms so that damages do not occur.
Especially the following protection measures apply:

Disc (3) wax coat of the gasket, net coat
Guide bush (2) protection by net coat
3.3 Installation Instructions
Note: Clean pipes before installing safety valves as otherwise the valve seats can be
damaged by foreign bodies when discharging!
Remove transport protection just before installation.
Check plant identification and details on the nameplate.
3.3.1 Installation
The installation zone must be easily accessible for maintenance
works. Required free space above the safety valve see section
“Dimensions”. In case of large safety valves provide for additional X
space for lifting gears, at least 500 mm.

Angebot / Quotation
Position of installation vertical, inlet from below. Do not brace valve body when fastening; if
necessary compensate bearing of the supporting brackets.
Lay line in such a way that no static or dynamic forces nor forces caused by thermal expansion
may be transferred to the valve body.
Please note: Stresses at the valve body may lead to leaking at the valve seat!
3.3.2 Inlet Line

If possible arrange safety valve directly at the nozzle of the tank to be protected. Otherwise lay
inlet line between tapping point and safety valve as short and as poor in resistance as possible.
In no case the inlet line diameter must be smaller than the inlet nominal size at the safety
valve.
The pressure loss in the inlet line must not exceed 3 % of the set pressure at the greatest
possible discharge quantity.
Check inlet line in regard of pressure vibrations according to FBR 153 as far as possible.
Attention! A pressure loss higher than the closing pressure difference may lead to
an unstable, uncontrollable behaviour of the safety valve; chattering or vibrating
may destroy the valve seat, the safety valve or the line and thus lead to failure of the
safety function or to the shutdown of the plant!
For discharge of condensate in case of gases and vapours, the inlet line must have a slope to
the tapping point of 15 degrees at least.
Attention! Condensate at the inlet of the safety valve changes the functional
behaviour and may lead to an inadmissible pressure increase. Danger of explosion!
In case of liquids with temperatures higher than the ambient temperature, the inlet line must be
assembled with slope to the safety valve, or designed as a siphon-type bend in front of the
safety valve. Thereby, a heat transmission to the safety valve is avoided which could impair the
tightness at the valve seat.
3.3.3 Exhaust Line

In no case the exhaust line diameter must be smaller than the outlet nominal size at the safety
valve.
Back pressures in the exhaust line are admissible up to 15 % of the set pressure and for safety
valves with compensating piston (SN 144) up to 50 % of the set pressure, in case there are no
other restrictions, e. g. with respect to the strength of the body connection flange.
Attention! Higher back pressures may lead to an unstable, uncontrollable behaviour

of the safety valve; chattering or vibrating may destroy the valve seat, the safety
valve or the line and thus lead to failure of the safety function or to shutdown of the
plant!
10.10.03 Ott/Sc
Angebot / Quotation
At the deepest point the exhaust line must be equipped with a drain which is large enough to
enable the discharge of minor leaks, e. g. in case of untight valve seat. Particularly in the open
air exhaust line, valve body and drain must be protected against icing and freezing, e. g. by
(electrical) trace heating; merely insulating is not sufficient!
Do not exchange the drain connection G ¼" at the valve body for the lock screw (44) at orifice
letters A40 and B40. Removing the lock screw (44) may change the function of the safety
valve!
Attention! An icy, frozen or clogged exhaust line leads to the failure of the safety
function! Danger of explosion in case of excess-pressure!
Caution! In case of several safety valves with one common exhaust line, take special
safety precautions for disassembling of only one safety valve to exclude danger in
case of unintended discharge of other safety valves!
Recommendation! Sound isolate exhaust line and/or provide the same with silencer; in doing
so, regard allowable back pressure!
3.3.4 Insulating
In case of hot medium insulate inlet line and valve body. In case of gases and vapours insulate
inlet line and valve body very carefully to avoid condensation.
Attention! Condensate at the inlet of the safety valve changes the functional
behaviour and may lead to an inadmissible pressure increase; danger of explosion!
The spring bonnet and a possibly mounted cooling spacer shall not be insulated as with heated
spring the set pressure decreases.
3.4 Pressure Test

The response of the safety valve must be prevented.
Either flange off the safety valve and close the supply line with a blind flange or block the valve.
In case of welded-in safety valve a pressure test insert can be used.
Attention! In case of a blocked safety valve the test pressure can amount up to 1.5×
of the set pressure without consultation with FMPL.
10.10.03 Ott/Sc
Angebot / Quotation
Turn in the blocking screw instead of the gag plug (17) and tighten it securely by hand so that
the disc (4) is blocked in closed position. In case of design with supplementary loading (SN
111) screw off electric solenoid including cooling spacer and replace it against a cap (13) with
blocking screw SN 100.
Attention! After the pressure test, restore and check the ready-to-operate state!
3.5 Commissioning
Attention! At safety valves with weight load, type VSE 4, remove blocking screw
before commissioning and assemble gag plug (17) with gasket (40).
The safety valve is delivered ready to operate. The set pressure is adjusted at works and
secured against unauthorised adjustments by lead seal. Higher medium temperatures can
lower the set point at approx. 1 % per 100°C and ask for a readjustment under operating
conditions. Standard values see table in section "Adjustment of the Set Pressure".
3.6 Operational Test

Function and reliability of the safety valves are proved by the type test. Therefore operational
tests are generally not carried out in the plant. This is only usual for steam boiler safety valves.
3.7 Discharge Test

! Apply ear plugs.
! Slowly increase operating pressure in the plant until the safety valve has fully opened.
! Lower operating pressure until the safety valve closes.
In case of several discharge tests with hot steam allow intermediate cooling down of the safety
valve as caused by heating of the spring a slight decrease of the set pressure is possible.
Attention! When discharging, some leaking medium may escape at the open bonnet
(8) in case of safety valves type VSE 1 / VSR 1. Danger of scalding by hot steam!
10.10.03 Ott/Sc
Angebot / Quotation
3.8 Adjustment of the Set Pressure
Attention! A change of the lead sealed spring adjustment must only take place in the
presence of the competent inspector.
The adjustment of the set pressure takes place on the test stand. If the set pressure is
adjusted in the plant, the pneumatic measuring device A 143 should be applied as by means of
this device the set pressure can be adjusted without increasing the operating pressure.
Attention! Adjusting only with lowered pressure. At operating pressure working on

the tightening screw (11) may lead to unintended response of the safety valve. When
discharging, some leaking medium may escape at the spindle guide of the
tightening screw (11). Danger of scalding by hot steam!
Remove lead seal. Unscrew cap (13). Loosen lock nut (28). For working at the tightening
screw (11) secure spindle (7) e. g. with a pin against rotation as otherwise the valve seat may
be damaged.
Tighten tightening screw (11) (turn right): set pressure higher

loosen tightening screw (11) (turn left): set pressure lower
After the adjustment secure tightening screw (11) with lock nut (28). Mount cap (13) and lead
seal.

Changing the Closing Pressure Difference for VSR 1 and VSR 2

After removing the lock screw (44), the closing pressure difference can be changed by means
of the adjusting ring (14). The sum of opening and closing pressure difference remains
approximately the same.
Attention! Remove lock screw (44) only with lowered pressure. At operating
pressure adjusting the adjusting ring (14) may lead to unintended response of the

9 Methods to Produce Superfinished Sealing Surfaces

Attention! Lapping is a precision operation and must be carried out by trained
personnel. Various operating areas ask for various operating methods.
9.1 Lapping Area Production
9.1.1 Disc
Parts with flat seats are normally machine lapped.
10.10.03 Ott/Sc
Angebot / Quotation
Procedure:
Allow boron carbide lapping emulsion (a mixture of grade 800 lapping powder and lapping oil)
to drip onto the constantly rotating lapping machine wheel. Load the items to be lapped into a
suitable locator that is set eccentrically to the table.
The lapping operation takes 15 to 20 minutes depending on the quality of the prepared sealing
surface. Afterwards the parts will be polished. In case of parts made of material 1.4980 the
parts will additionally polished on a tin plate with a diamond suspension; grain size 2 - 3. A
sight control and a test with an interference glass follow to check whether the surface is plane
and not convex or concave.
9.1.2 Valve Seat

The preferred method is hand operated machine lapping in case the valve seat is installed in
the body (screwed in, welded in or in another connection). Thereby it is important that the
required force is constantly and steadily transferred through a spring.
Procedure:
Grinding and/or lapping foils of different grain sizes are pasted onto a plain carrier wheel of the
machine. The prepared seating areas with 3.2 Ra roughness are alternately lapped with grain
sizes of 200-600-1000. After lapping with 200 grain size, there should be no visible tool marks.
The change takes place at intervals of about 1 minute. Lapping is carried out with oscillating
movements. Finally the seating area is cleaned and visually inspected.
9.2 Lapping Area Site

As a rule, there is no lapping machine available so only a manual method or the method
described in section 9.1.2 can be used.
9.2.1 Disc
Depending upon their size, lap the parts on glass plates or discs or rings made of grey cast
iron. Lapping abrasive: Tetra Bor lapping paste (grade 120 to 1200).
Procedure:
Up to a size of about 200 mm diameters lap the parts on the plates. In case of greater
diameters, use the part to be lapped as a pad and move the discs or rings. Thinly distribute the
lapping abrasive on one side and up a grain size > 400 additionally sprinkle it with oil drops.
Oscillatingly move the valve part or the lapping wheel with constant hand pressure. This
operation takes several minutes. Remove the paste with a cold cleaning and repeat the
procedure using progressively finer lapping paste. Finally a sight control follows.
Up to a size of approx. 200 mm diameter lap the discs with a mobile manual lapping machine
according to section 9.1.2.
9.2.2 Valve Seat

Procedure see section 9.1.2.
Attention! Check body seats regularly to verify that the seat surfaces are still
rectangular to the body centre. If this is not the case, restore squareness by using a
flat grinding machine.
