Overflow security device for pressure pipes - comprises housing containing ball and seat, ball being applied to seat to cut off flow automatically once predetermined value is exceeded

摘要

The safety device is insertable horizontally in a pipe for transporting fluid such as gas under pressure. The device has a sectioned housing (9) for a ball (10). A seat (13,15) is also in the housing on which the ball is applied by the fluid under pressure. When the flow of fluid exceeds a certain predetermined value, the ball is applied into the seat, which then automatically cuts off the flow of fluid. USE/ADVANTAGE - Pipes under pressure, such as gas. Safety device prevents rupture of pipe under excess pressure.
