摘要： A pressure surge relief system for a liquid transporting pipeline, comprising a surge relief line adapted to be tapped from the pipeline. The relief line includes a valve which is conditioned to open quickly to substantial flow when the pressure in the line exceeds a predetermined safe limit, which is well above the normal pipeline pressure. When the valve opens, it diverts to a closed receptacle, that quantity of liquid which is necessary to prevent the pressure from exceeding said predetermined limit. Hence, in the event of the surge, much of the pressure is absorbed in the liquid and pipe, and just that quantity of liquid which is necessary to relieve pressures of unsafe proportions is discharged to the closed receptacle. The receptacle is pre-charged with a gas to cushion the impact of the surge and also includes means to dissipate energy of the liquid surge and to bring the liquid to a state of quiescence as quickly as possible. A return duct evacuates the reservoir to the pipeline when the surge subsides.

摘要： The present invention provides failsafe system for cutting gas off gas flow in response to electrical insults that may damage gas tubing. The invention uses an inductive sensor to detect electrical surges along a ground conductor that provides a ground path for gas tubing. The sensor is coupled to control circuitry that provides a continuous pulse train to a solenoid that forms part of a valve that controls gas flow through the gas tubing. The pulse train from the control circuitry keeps the valve open. In response to an electrical surge detected along the ground conductor (e.g., from lightning), the control circuitry stops the pulse train to the solenoid, which in turn causes the gas valve to close and stop the gas flow through the tubing.

摘要： This invention, which pertains to the field of testing of the corrosion-resistance of materials, includes devices (a probe formed by a permanent reference electrode with corrosion coupons and an electronic switch) and a measurement method for evaluating the probability of corrosion of buried ducts due to alternating current (AC), and aims at providing a methodology that eliminates ohmic losses and allows the desired measurement to be obtained. For that purpose, a probe formed by a permanent copper or copper sulphate reference electrode (ECSC) with four corrosion coupons was developed, and an electronic switch which was also developed within the scope of this invention is coupled to this probe. This assembly (probe and switch), associated with a preferably portable digital oscilloscope or a data acquisition device with digital signal processing (DSP), makes it possible to obtain the waveform of the pipe/ground potential AC+DC off, and hence the peak potential of this waveform, this value being used to predict the corrosion of buried, cathode-protected ducts due to alternating current, on the basis of the criterion that corrosion due to alternating current will not occur or will be insignificant if the peak of the waveform of the pipe/ground potential AC+DC off is more negative than −0.85 VECSC. The present invention can also be directly used for monitoring external corrosion of ground ducts and to verify the real cathode protection potential of these ducts. In order to ensure the integrity of the ducts, this equipment can be installed at test points, at valve boxes and cathode protection rectifiers, as well as in zones where corrosion is suspected.
