Trip Block

Diagnostic tests can be difficult to perform on turbo-machinery safety system components without compromising safety if the machine or reducing the integrity of the safety system. For this reason, in conjunction with steam turbine OEMs, Woodward created the “QucikTrip” trip block assembly.

The QuickTrip trip block assembly is designed for use in steam turbine shutdown systems for quick and reliable dumping of the turbine’s trip oil header. This integrated trip block assembly is intended for use on mechanical-drive or generator-drive steam turbines that use low-pressure (5-25 bar / 73-363 psi) hydraulic trip oil headers.
