I operate Nuclear Power Reactors for the US Navy. We actually submerge ours plants in Sea Water. It seems a little more related to this topic. I do understand valve construction. It would appear that I understand them better than you. A valve is NEVER considered shut unless it is FULLY SHUT (and in some cases torqued shut). In some cases, we take credit for a valve being fully opened even when we know it is partially open. So take your argument to someone who doesn't know any better. dsmith218@ho*.co* ICQ# 25409809 Moderation is for the poor, and the healthy...of which I am neither. - Polver -----Original Message----- From: Trav H.

I am new to DIR but I have been in the nuclear power industry for over ten years now. And if you understood valve characteristics you would leave this subject alone and realize that the people here are trying to keep you alive by not making mistakes that they have worked out or seen others make. The nuclear industry treats valves the same way...if it is not fully open then it considered shut. The only time we throttle valves it to restrict flow in a system. Not to mention that the more you leave a valve throttled the more likely valve damage is to occur.
