Earthquake Valve

The earthquake-sensitive valve is activated in earthquakes above 4 Richter, depending on the type and intensity of the earthquake, and the gas flow is automatically cut off. Earthquake sensitive valve or earthquake valve is a mechanical device that is installed on the pipe in the gas network. It is open in normal mode and automatically cuts off the gas flow due to shocks caused by earthquake waves. These valves are reactivated only manually after operation. Earthquake sensitive valve is a new and innovative product. This product is designed to protect buildings against earthquakes. This product uses advanced technologies that make the valve automatically lock when an earthquake occurs. In this way, it prevents the exit of water and fuel from piping systems. This product is used as a safety and protection solution for buildings and public places. It can also be effective in reducing damages caused by earthquakes. Since earthquakes are one of the main dangers in many regions of the world. Products such as earthquake-sensitive milk can be used as an effective solution to maintain the safety and health of people and the environment.

The performance of the valve sensitive to earthquakes

The earthquake valve automatically shuts off the gas flow during an earthquake with the intensity calculated according to the ISIRI 10942 standard, it cuts off the gas flow and prevents gas leakage in the building and explosion and fire. This issue is so important that the 17th topic of the National Building Regulations recommends it for all buildings and makes it mandatory for many buildings. The size of the main pipe is the criterion for the size of this valve. If the pipe size is reduced, we will see a drop in the gas flow during operation. Installing firefighting valves such as earthquake-sensitive valves in the path of gas flow will significantly reduce the damages caused by earthquakes. According to the National Building Regulations (Chapter 17) and the letter of the Central Council, the installation of these valves in public buildings is mandatory for Manasanat Paydar company with more than 7 years of experience in the field of supplying and installing earthquake sensitive valves in the vendor list of the oil and gas company and approved by the National Gas Company. is Withstand the pressure of earthquake sensitive valves up to 60 pounds and in all sizes: 1 to 8 inches
