A shutdown valve (also referred to as SDV or emergency shutdown valve, ESV, ESD, or ESDV; or safety shutoff valve) is an actuated valve designed to stop the flow of a hazardous fluid upon the detection of a dangerous event. This provides protection against possible harm to people, equipment or the environment.
Its function is distinct from that of pressure relief valves, which are passive devices opening if pressure reaches a value above the process safety trip, but still below the design pressure of the equipment. Relief valves complement the PSD. A process plant is typically divided into isolatable sections by emergency shutdown valves (ESDVs).
Mechanical jammers are devices where a device is inserted into the valve and actuator assembly that physically prevents the valve from moving past a certain point. These are used in cases where accidentally shutting the valve would have severe consequences, or any application where the end user prefers a mechanical device.
The HIPPS will shut off the source of the high pressure before the design pressure of the system is exceeded, thus preventing loss of containment through rupture of a line or vessel. Therefore, a HIPPS is considered as a barrier between a high-pressure and a low-pressure section of an installation. [1]
The sheet has a solid end and a flow-through end; sliding it from one position to the other opens or stops the flow. Also called sliding blind valve; Outflow valve: regulates flow and pressure, part of cabin pressurization; Pilot valve: regulates flow or pressure to other valves; Petcock, a small shut-off valve
After a severe seismic event, gas piping may be damaged, requiring complete re-inspection for breaks or leaks. Seismic valves are available with pressure classes (7 psig and 60 psig max). [1] An upstream pressure regulator can reduce the gas pressure below 60 psig before the seismic shut-off valves. [2]
