Abstract

A latching trip valve for opening and closing a safety device. The trip valve is operable manually and from the pressure of a pilot circuit which monitors the operating conditions of a pipeline. A floating seat is movable under the influence of a longitudinal movable poppet and its included seal means. The floating seat and seal means forms a closed passage until the pressure of the pilot circuit decreases whereas the passage is opened.
