GASCO has asked customers to change the current serrated gas cylinder valve (horizontal) with the new vertical self-closing valve powered by
a safety valve to reduce the pressure inside the cylinder to prevent possible damage.
He said: "It was
a safety valve I guess for my future.
"It appears the bombers had no idea there was
a safety valve attached to the cylinders.
Following the accident, laboratory tests were carried out to simulate conditions where
a safety valve could be prevented from lifting at its set pressure due to adhesion between the valve head and its seat.
Fifth, the merger and acquisition safe harbor provides
a safety valve for SLOBs that are acquired through certain mergers and acquisitions -- a common occurrence in the U.S.
