Robinet sur tuyauterie ou sur appareil, sur paroi ou en fond, type homme mort.

OBS

Ce boîtier «homme mort» est conçu pour le contrôle des fluides dits à risque : lorsque la poignée est relâchée, un système de rappel par ressort refermera automatiquement le robinet, et arrêtera par conséquent le processus d'écoulement du fluide. Ainsi, tout risque potentiel est évité en cas de défaillance humaine.

Key term(s)
