  • Pros and Cons of 3 Types of Emergency Shutdown and Emergency Isolation Valves
    The two most common methods used to trigger a thermal shutoff, eliciting a failure position in pneumatically operated Emergency Shut Down and Emergency Isolation Valves are: (1) Fusible Plugs, and (2) Plastic Tubing. Both of these techniques have been used in emergency shutdown systems for years
  • What an Executive Order for Improved Chemical Facility Safety Means for Emergency Valve & Actuator Applications
    The installation of emergency block valves (EBV) on process piping and equipment is a key component of the various layers of protection. EBVs are used to shut down the system in the event of an emergency; and remotely operated EBVs are an acceptable loss prevention practice for reducing the size
  • Fail-safe Actuators: When Failure Is Not an Option
    Actuators are a small part relative to the overall systems they live in. Many of these devices weigh in at only ten or twenty pounds. But they are a small component that plays a crucial role: When it's time for a valve or damper to close, for a flow to stop, or for a system to shut down
  • Torque Switch Application Notes
    The primary function of a torque switch is to sense a high torque situation in a valve and shut down the actuator. This causes a halt to the process, but any situation that would trip a torque switch would likely halt it anyway, foul up the process, and also damage the equipment.
