This content is intended for general information. The application must be carried out by means of equipment manufacturer instructions, the risk assessment specific to the business and the energy control procedure prepared by authorized persons.

Why do we need a special choice?

Closing the regulator’s setting button does not always isolate the energy source. The secure application includes the lock of the power valve, the controlled discharge of line pressure and the verification of zero pressure.

Data for the product selection

The type of flow, the type of valve, the geometry of the setting hand, the manometer range, the tube diameter and the discharge point are recorded. The product to be selected must physically keep the valve hand in a closed position and block access to the regulator settings when necessary.

Order of Application

  1. Take the process safe.
  2. Close the upstream power valve of the regulator and put in the appropriate valve lock.
  3. If necessary, set the regulator according to the procedure.
  4. The downstream pressure is controlled from the specified point.
  5. Do zero energy verification according to the operating procedure, without accepting the manometer alone enough.

Frequent mistakes

What should be sent to match the offer or product?

The brand-model of the equipment must be sent together, general and close plan photos in a safe state, millimeter measurements, energy type, number of people to work at the same time, and the usage environment. This information reduces the risk of choosing product code according to its appearance alone.
