Valve packing accident - case history


Contents
Originally uploaded by frisard.
found this really good site from Japan that goes over industrial accidents. This one in particular is a classic and I have seen it many times. The packing friction was very high and the operator tried to move the stem using a wrench and causes the packing to leak. This accident resulted in a plant shutdown.
