Explosive Pipe Closure System

Explosive Pipe Closure System. A fast, high-strength mechanism for closing off inaccessible pipes is explosively actuated. The system, devised to protect instrumentation mounted in pipes from flying debris during uunderground nu-... 

A system, e.g., detection and isolation valves, to provide a positive mechanical barrier and block potential flame paths in process piping or ductwork that lead to other process equipment or operator occupied areas. Used where there is the potential for flame and pressure to travel to other areas resulting in additional fire or explosion hazards. An isolation valve system utilizes detection and control functions that initiate valve closure within milliseconds and operates at the earliest possible moment of a deflagration.
