‘Willams offers a wide variety and range of proven valves to

respond quickly and effectively toa catastrophic situation; your
needs depend on the W.EM. ... Emergency Shut-Off Valve,
During the earty 70's based on actual field experiences and
market research Wiliams identified a need for a simple,
effective, economical valve to stop the flow of liquids, gases and
‘vapors in emergency situations. Using the AP. 600 and AP.
6D standards, R & D Engineering designed a quick closing
valve that can be actuated at the valve or from a remote
location. These valves are now time tested and proven the most
cost effective candidate to safely manage fre, high levels of
heat, excess pressure, or dangerously high pressure fluid con-
ditions. Add the fail-safe fusible link features and these valves
will close instantaneously & automatically at the heat of a fire.
Wiliams Emergency Shut-Off Valves are on guard and at the
ready in major refineries, petrochemical piants, dockside
‘marine installations, fuel storage terminal, pipeline distribution,
and off-shore rigs throughout the worid, They are recognized
for their quality and dependability.
In addition to the basic ESOV, Williams offers six modified
3: Preumatic actuated, Nema-7
Solenoid, High Pressure switch, Temperature Sensitive, High
Level Shut-Off and Gas Overpressure Shut-Off. Limit
switches are also available to indicate open/closed position
ata remote site. Installed as a safety package the ESOV can
be easily integrated into the main system and used to shut-
down other controlled equipment.
‘The Wiliams Emergency Shut-Off Valve has proven superior to
other designs. The valves can be installed in ether the vertical
or horizontal positions. An optional soft seat design is also
available. Each valves individually tested to AP. 598.
