Emergency Shutdown Valve Quarter-Turn Operation Close Valve In Less Than A Second
ESDV features are designed for accuracy and dependability
Full Open Position – Normal Operation
The ESDV provides minimal pressure Differential when Differential when the valve the valve is in full-open-open position.
The full bore ball valve virtually acts like a pipe minimizing process fluid turbulence
Full Closed Position – Emergency Situation
Setpoint pressure has been exceeded and the ESDV the ESDV has fully closed providing fully closed providing tight shutoff with its double-seated design.
