Industry:Fire safety
A pressure-activated switch arranged to effect a safety shutdown or to prevent the burner system from being actuated when the combustion air pressure is below its design set point.
Industry:Fire safety
A pressure-activated switch arranged to effect a safety shutdown of the burner system in the event of abnormally low fuel pressure.
Industry:Fire safety
A pressure-activated switch arranged to effect a safety shutdown of the burner system in the event of abnormally high fuel pressure.
Industry:Fire safety
A pressure vessel used for the storage or accumulation of air or gas under pressure that is constructed and tested in accordance with the ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.
Industry:Fire safety
A pressure vessel or tank that is designed for liquid-solid or gas-solid reactions; the liquid or gas moves upward through the solids’ particles at a velocity sufficient to suspend the individual particles in the fluid.
Industry:Fire safety
A pressure vessel designed to hold compressed gas at an absolute pressure greater than 1 atmosphere at 68°F (20°C) that includes cylinders, containers, and tanks.
Industry:Fire safety
A pressure vessel constructed and tested in accordance with Title 49 CFR 178. 37 that is used for the storage and transportation of air under pressure.
Industry:Fire safety
A pressure relief valve, for use on ASME stationary containers, that has a low profile and is similar to a full internal relief valve except the wrenching pads and seating section are above the container connection. The adjusting spring and the stem are below the seat and are not exposed to the atmosphere.
Industry:Fire safety
A pressure relief valve, for engine fuel and mobile container use, in which all working parts are recessed within the container connection, and the spring and guiding mechanism are not exposed to the atmosphere.
