Fire safe valve question (api-607)
Fire safe valve question (api-607)
(OP)
I have a glass lined 4000 gallon reactor which normally would have a TFE lined valve and TFE/rubber gasket mounted on the bottom outlet.
What do others do when it is prudent to have a fire safe valve and a robust gasket on the matching flange face, to come as close to meeting the intent of api-607, as practical?

IF there is not a gasket that is fire-safe that can attach to glass, then there is no real advantage to the fire safe valve.
Do you know of a suitable fire safe gasket for a
glass-to-metal flanged joint?
Do you think fire proof insulation or fire water deluge spray would be sufficient to protect the valve?
