It is in

41、tended to be installed into a container opening to allow for uid evacuation. 6.2 BACK PRESSURE CHECK VALVE A type of valve that allows uid ow in only one direction. The amount of ow allowed in the reverse direction is outlined in the seat leakage test. The type of seat material used; i.e. resilient

42、or metal-to-metal, further categorizes back pressure check valves. 6.3 EMERGENCY SHUTOFF VALVE a A shutoff valve incorporating thermal and manual means of closing that also provides for remote means of closing. 6.4 EXCESS FLOW CHECK VALVE (or EXCESS FLOW VALVE) A valve designed to close when the liq

43、uid or vapor passing through it exceeds a prescribed ow rate. 6.5 FILLER VALVE A type of valve connected to a container that is intended under normal operation to allow uid ow into a container for lling purposes, but not out of the container. 6.6 INTERNAL VALVE a A container primary shutoff that can

44、 be closed remotely, which incorporates an internal excess ow valve with the seat and seat disc located within the container so that they remain in place should external damage occur to the valve. 6.6 revised February 18, 2015 6.7 LEVER OPERATED TRANSFER VALVE A manual, primary type of shutoff valve
