Fuel gas shutoff valves represent the main line of defense in combustion devices such as burners and boilers. They’re key to the safe operation of equipment for nonresidential comfort heating, commercial and industrial heating, and power and steam generation applications worldwide. While conventional modular gas valve designs are popular and effective, the latest generation of valves has even more dramatic improvements. Recent technological advancements — in models such as new modular gas valves from ASCO — offer breakthrough features and benefits. These include higher flows, more compact footprints, and greater modularity and flexibility to enable downsizing of fuel train components, as well as broader temperature ranges, higher close-off pressures, more immediate availability, and reduced costs of ownership.

To develop an appropriate strategy for the implementation of a combustible gas detection system, a basic understanding of the properties of combustible materials

is necessary. In our discussion we will identify the general properties necessary for determining a material’s hazardous potential, then turn our attention to specific

information on combustible gases and liquids.

The short-term trade of liquefied natural gas (LNG) is becoming increasingly common. At last estimate,12% of the LNG market was in short-term (or spot) contracts. The figure is expected to rise to 33% by the year 2011. The increase in short-term trading means that both delivery and loading systems are going to require each party to have a metering system—an arrangement similar to what exists in the oil tanker custody transfer industry.
