Slam Shut Valves

Explosions can propagate from one vessel to another if the conditions are right and there is enough material to sustain combustion. If this happens it is possible that the explosion can increase in violence to the point where duct connections can fail and flame jet ignition can occur in the connected vessel. Explosion isolation can be achieved by a number of different means:- Passive explosion barrier valves RSK isolation valves (BRILEX) Rapid acting slam shut valves Euratex can advise on and supply the most appropriate means of isolation.
