<p>A buckling pin valve (100) and associated methods are disclosed. More specifically, a buckling pin valve (100) is disclosed with a valve body (101) having an inlet (102) and an outlet (103), a valve seat (111) at the valve body inlet (102), a valve plug (110) configured to sealingly engage with the valve seat (111), a pin cage (130) attached to the valve body (101) and configured to mount a buckling pin (120), and a shaft (110, 121, 122) configured to transfer forces from the valve plug (110) to the buckling pin (120). A buckling pin valve (100) also is disclosed with a pin cage (130) being made of a rigid all-in- one construction. A method of manufacturing a pin cage (130) for a buckling pin actuated valve (100) is disclosed, wherein the method comprises fabricating a pin cage (130) from a single piece of metal. A method of manufacturing a buckling pin actuated valve (130) also is disclosed.</p> |
