INTERLOCK SYSTEMS

NETHERLOCKS supplies safety products for the oil & gas industry. Their products are used by most of the major end users in the sector to help create a safer working environment. They are market leaders in mechanical interlocks and also manufacture several other safety products.

Pigging is one of the main applications for safety interlocks. As part of an interlocking sequence, locks on the closure and different valves, prevent opening the door when it is unsafe. All critical valves can only be operated when the closure is fully closed and locked.

A pigging operation is recognized as highly dangerous and even deadly. Locking systems are recommended to avoid human error and, subsequently, dangerous incidents.
