  • Thermal Shutoff Valves - Then and Now
    With restrictions on space and cost, instrumentation engineers can now simplify their emergency shutoff using the thermally activated, pneumatic shutoff valve right on the pneumatic actuator. When a fire occurs, the FireChek (R) FM-approved shutoff valve on the pneumatic actuator automatically
  • Process Safety for Hazardous Chemicals
    Relatively inexpensive safety instrumented systems such as the FM FireSafe Thermal and Electro-Thermal Shutoff Valves sold by Assured Automation are used in many plant applications where flammable fluids are piped and controlled.
  • Emergency Isolation for Pneumatic Actuated Control Valves
    includes the memory-shape alloy FireChek (R) thermal shutoff with Versa's SIL Capable High Flow valve. The FireChek assembly provides a supplementary level of fire safety, while maintaining the original functionality of the specific valve in the process control system.
  • Beware Thermal Cycling in BioProcessing Part One
    By Dave Simko, Swagelok Corp. A group of conical disc springs placed on top of the seal member provide the live-loading force and compensate for expansion and contraction during thermal cycling. As the seal wears during normal use, the springs continually retighten the seal, ensuring its
  • 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
  • Abbott Revives UV for Purified Water Pretreatment
    systems, Abbott conducts an exercise in which it opens up all valves, shuts off power to the UV equipment, and flushes the systems with free chlorine. Initially, the company performed this exercise every month, but

  • Magnesium Injection Molding
    The nozzle plug acts as a thermal shut off valve , closing the barrel nozzle after injec- tion is completed.
  • Plastics pipes XI
    One can build in extra safety devices, such as excess flow valves and thermal shut off valves , or one can install the system into the walls and floors, thus providing sufficient resistance against fire.
