Description
The Type 4660 high-low pressure pilot (figure 1) acti-
vates emergency shutdown systems for flowlines, pro-
duction vessels, and compressors. The pilot can be
used with either a single or dual set point capability to
maintain full output pressure when the process is op-
erating within the set point range. The primary switch-
ing mechanism in this pilot is a block-and-bleed relay
assembly.
