Problems solved by technology

For example, a three inch ball valve with a rectangular stem stem creates unique design requirements when compared to a six inch butterfly valve with a round handwheel - a single valve locking mechanism is unlikely for such a unique type of valve provide a good enough solution

Abstract

A valve lockout device includes a body having a mount portion that defines a passageway. A cover positioned adjacent to the body defines a cover portion adjacent the mount portion thereby inhibiting access to the passageway in the mount portion. A position control arm extends through at least one of the body and cover, the position control arm defines a valve engagement portion and an adjustment portion. A lock aperture is formed in at least the other of the body and cover through which the position control arm extends. An adjustment member is positioned adjacent at least one of the body and the cover, the adjustment member defines an adjustment member aperture aligned with the lock aperture and is configured to engage the adjustment portion of the position control arm. Coupling the lock aperture and the adjustment member aperture inhibits relative movement of the body, cover, and adjustment member.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] none [0003] Statement Regarding Federally Sponsored Research [0004] none technical field [0005] The present invention relates to valve locking devices, and more particularly, to valve locking devices that can be coupled to a mount and adjusted to accommodate various valve configurations. Background technique [0006] A valve lockout is used to prevent changing the state of the valve, such as between a closed position and an open position. For example, a valve lockout device may be used to lock a valve in a fully closed position, at which point a technician may perform repairs or maintenance on components downstream of the locked valve (eg, a turbine). For example, by blocking access to the valve handle, or structurally restricting physical movement of the control handle, the valve lockout device can provide a visible and structural impediment to any operation that changes the state of the valve.
