Product: Fusible Plug

The fusible plug is a safety component used in compressed air systems and steam systems.
These plugs are considered the last line of defense and are used to prevent catastrophic events caused by excessive temperature rise.
Fusible plugs, with their reliable performance, protect tanks and machinery against temperature increases.

Operation

The fusible plug contains a meltable alloy placed inside a body made of brass, bronze, or stainless steel.
The internal alloy has a specific melting point lower than the melting point of the plug body.
If the temperature exceeds the specified limit, the internal alloy melts and causes the tank pressure to be released.

Operation in compressed air systems:
Fusible plugs play a vital safety role by reducing pressure caused by temperature rise, preventing explosion and fire.

Operation in steam systems:
These plugs are installed on steam boilers to reduce the risk of explosion caused by excessive steam pressure.
