Automatic Roof Draining Valve Type:TOR
ECO-VALVE model TOR
Normally open specific gravity sensitive valve,
which closes when the stored product penetrates the
floating roof drain pipe inside the tank.
It is commonly used as a safety requirement
for the draining of rainwater from floating roofs
of petroleum product storage tanks.
In the event of storage product ingress into the drain tubing,
the TOR Valve will sense the presence of the product
and will immediately shut off,
preventing product loss and spillage.
When the TOR closes, the factory fitted switch
can immediately send a feedback signal
to a remote valve position monitoring system,
alerting the relevant authority and enabling prompt action.
