SAFETY SYSTEM FOR FLUID CONDUIT

摘要

A fluid conduit safety system which comprises valves (44) at each end of the conduit (20) which are connected by a relatively stiff cable (58). If the conduit (20) ruptures, the valves (44) close preventing discharge of fluid from the fluid supply and discharge of fluid from the container being filled while at the same time the cable (58) prevents the ends of the conduit (20) from whipping about and causing damage or injury. A second conduit (80) surrounds the first conduit (20) and forms a gap (82), filled with material via a valve (86), to indicate a fault in the first conduit (20) such as a tear or puncture.
