Glossary
Fast acting shut off valves
To prevent flame and pressure propagation in pipes and ducts, valves (gate or butterfly) or flaps may be used which close in a sufficiently short time. The closure can be effected by means of an actuating mechanism initiated by detectors or by the explosion pressure wave itself.
