Take a look at AGA’s white paper on “Leading Practices for Damage Prevention to Meter Sets” and how the HaloValve option could work for you.
Natural gas meters are at constant risk of suffering damage through a wide array of outside forces – vehicle impact, general neglect, ground settlement, damaged protective devices like bollards and guard rails, and snow, ice, flooding and other acts of nature.
As an advocate for the natural gas industry and the operators within it, the American Gas Association (AGA) has developed a white paper titled “Leading Practices for Damage Prevention to Meter Sets” that is designed to inform AGA members of common methods that can help prevent damage to meter sets, thereby reducing any associated risks.
Specifically, Section 6.1.2.2 of the white paper notes that the use of Natural Gas Safety Breakaways that feature an engineered “weak link” that is designed to break upon impact in order to immediately shut off the gas flow will add a level of safety and protection for meters, especially those located in high-traffic areas or those with an elevated risk of being the victim in an impact incident.
The HaloValve Natural Gas Safety Breakaway from OPW Engineered Systems meets the tenets of Section 6.1.2.2 by utilizing patented “weak link” breakaway technology to instantly seal a damaged natural gas line following an impact incident, which prevents the potentially dangerous flow and accumulation of gas until the line can be repaired.
