DESCRIPTION
The Fike Explosion Isolation Valve (EIV) consists of:
• Stainless steel full ported conduit gate
• Pipe flanges to fit ANSI 150 bolting
• Bolted mild steel housing
• Cushioned gate
• Mechanical lockout
• Optional gate position sensor
• Gas cartridge actuator (GCA)
Valve closure is achieved when the GCA is activated by the system controller, causing release of gasses into the actuator. Closure is accomplished in 5 milliseconds per inch of valve diameter or less.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
• Stops explosions from either direction (up-flow or down-flow) with appropriate detection
• Clean seat conduit design eliminates build up of process materials and all internal obstruction to the pneumatic transport process system
Modular construction allows refurbishment and/or rebuilding for faster commissioning and less downtime
• Concealed gate eliminates personnel exposure to moving parts and enhances reliable operation by reducing valve exposure to environmental and/or process hazards
