Yes, understanding the precautions for operating LNG and industrial gas (O₂/N₂/Ar) breakaway valves is critical for safety. Key注意事项 (Precautions) include:
Material Compatibility
For oxygen (O₂) service: Valves must be degreased and cleaned for oxygen use to prevent combustion risks.
For LNG/cryogenic service: Materials must tolerate -162°C temperatures without brittle fracture.
Regular Inspection
Check for corrosion, seal wear, and mechanical damage before each use.
Verify that the valve has not exceeded its service life or been triggered previously.
Triggering Conditions
Do not test by forcibly pulling the valve—accidental activation requires immediate replacement.
Ensure the pull cable (if equipped) is accessible but protected from unintended contact.
Post-Trigger Action
Once activated, the valve must be replaced entirely, even if it appears undamaged. Reuse is prohibited.
Environment-Specific Rules
LNG valves: Prioritize thermal insulation integrity to prevent ice buildup.
O₂ valves: Strictly enforce oil-free tools and gloves during handling.
Training & Documentation
Only trained personnel should operate or maintain these valves.
Maintain logs of installation dates, inspections, and triggering events.
Remember: Neglecting these precautions can lead to leaks, explosions, or equipment failure. Always adhere to standards like ISO 28460 (LNG) and CGA G-4.1 (Oxygen).
Final Note: When in doubt, consult the valve manufacturer’s guidelines—safety protocols vary by design and application.
