Hi Press Shut Down Valve
Hi Press Shut Down Valve
(OP)
We have several hundred pressure vessels that have pneumatic fail close inlet valves that shut in at high pressure. We'd like to add another level of protection so that if the current sensor doesn't react, an independent sensor would see the pressure, close the supply and bleed the diaphragm closing the inlet valve. Can anyone suggest such a valve?

Or, are you thinking of a high pressure pilot type of regulator? For this type, take a look at:

In normal operation the SV is energized and the positioner communicates to the actuator. On High pressure the SV is deenergized, isolates the positioner output and dumps the actuator air, failing the valve closed.

Your post is unuasual in that I am frequently told by the customer that he has all the electric I need, but no pneumatic supply available.
