Swagelok® Excess Flow Valves—XS Series
Swagelok excess flow valves stop uncontrolled release of system
media if a downstream line ruptures. Flow through the bleed vent is less
than 1 % of the flow rate in the trip range.

Operation
The spring-loaded poppet remains in the open position during
normal system operation. Should an excess flow condition occur
downstream, the poppet rapidly moves to the tripped position, stopping
uncontrolled release of system media. When the system pressure equalizes
through the bleed vent, the spring automatically resets the poppet to
the open position.
