    NG safety distance from burner flame?

    Hi : I did post this in Gas piping forum, But i think it should be here, the question is: How far is an open flame (water bath heater) can be placed from above ground NG piping flange connection, taking into consideration: we have a tight area, and there is no leak except in an abnormal...

    [b]Fusible Link / Fire Valve / thermal actuator[/b]

    Calfersoporte: Thank you for you reply, and maybe I didnt clarify exactly what I'm looking for, basiclly it is a thermal actuator which triggers (close - in case of fire) at a preset temperature let say 190 degF), and my client is not looking for a remote controlled one (cuz of cost, as we'll...

    I'm trying to find manufacturer/Supplier for fusible link actuator to be installed on 3" and 4" groves class 600 or if they have the complete valve +actuator that will be considered too, one feature I'm looking for is the ability to override the fusible link and operate the valve manualy. Any...

    LEL Detection vs Area Classification

    You still need to go back to the NEC article 500 for the definitions of Class I, Div 1 and 2, to make sure if your conditions of flammable mixture presence is still the same i.e still occur under upnormal conditions. To the best of my knowledge 10 ft and 5 ft and others are recommendation...

    High Volt. Pwr. vs Control systems

    I dont know am I posting in the right place or not, but I'm trying to find the effect of (if any) placing a 24 VDC control system in a station right under High voltage power transmission line (when I say High voltage I dont have figure, but I can tell you that if I'm standing under/close to the...

    Mysterious fires at regulating stations

    I hate to bring up a dead topic alive again, but I couldn't help it. anyway, the problem I think is 2 parts, the first one is gas escaping from one of the control elements which is either the valve or the swtich, and the other part is the case of fire, which is mainly beacuse installation was...
