Earthquake-Actuated Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices

historical

Abstract

  • This standard provides current minimum functionality requirements for earthquake-actuated automatic gas shut-off devices and systems. The thoroughly revised provisions are applicable only to devices carrying gaseous fuels, such as natural gas and propane. The seismic performance requirements established by this new edition are based on dynamic testing of current devices and in-depth examination of data on ground motions, structural damage, fire initiation, and actuation of existing earthquake shutoff devices.
