Tank clap valves
    |
Description
Tank clap valves completed with the actuator (control mechanism) MU (MUV) are installed on the inlet - distribution nozzle of vertical tanks for protection from petroleum products spill as a result of pipeline or shut-off valves damage while oil handling.
Their principle of action is to open the lid of the tank clap valve, which provides oil running. In case of emergency oil spill is excluded, as the functions of rapid closing and stopping the flow are provided. The equipment also prevents the reverse running of the operating product in the closed position.
The Saratov Reservoir Plant supplies own-produced tanks with the following types of equipment:
- tank clap valves without bypass DN80 and DN100
- tank clap valves with bypass DN150, DN200, DN250, DN300, DN400, DN500, DN 600, to simplify opening
- side control mechanisms of tank clap valves MU
- upper control mechanisms of tank clap valves MUV
Tank clap valves XP: design and specifications
The design appears as a body with an oblique section and a lid with a lever located on it.
In order to avoid a friction sparks, the lid is made of aluminum intrinsically safe alloys for additional explosion and fire safety. The valves are mounted inside the tank on inlet - distribution nozzle. The opening is conducted with a cord, one end of which is fixed to the lever, and the second - to the control mechanism of the tank clap valve, which fixes the lid in the open position.
When filling the tank the lid is lifted automatically due to the product stream. Closure occurs at the steam stop. When emptying the lid is lifted by the control mechanism.

Side control mechanisms of tank clap valves MU: design and specifications
They are necessary for opening and fixing the lid of the valve when emptying the tank. The housing itself is installed on the mount nozzle above the inlet - distribution nozzle inside the tank, and the driving gear is located outside.
The Plant SARRZ supplies the following modifications:
- MUI with hand gear DN80, DN100, DN150, DN200, DN250
- MUII with electrical drive DN300, DN400, DN600
