How Fusible Plug Works

In this video we look at the fusible plug, its construction, how it works and why we use them. The video focuses on fusible plugs used in compressed air and steam boiler systems. You will learn terms such as:
Plug Body
Fusible Alloy
Screw Thread
Pressure Vessel
Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP)
Examples of how and where the plugs are used are also given using interactive 3D models. All the 3D models used in the video are available at saVRee.com.
I should have mentioned in the video that fusible plugs are usually only used for un-fired pressure vessels if the safety relief valve (SRV) can be isolated from the main tank.
All 3D models used in the video are available at www.saVRee.com.
