Deck Stand
Deck Stand is a marine deck-mounted operating device designed for remote control of valves and piping systems installed on ships.
The deck stand provides a convenient operating position on the ship deck, allowing crew members to manually operate valves located in cargo tanks, ballast systems, fuel systems, and other inaccessible areas through mechanical transmission mechanisms.
Deck Stand is commonly installed on:
Oil tankers
Chemical tankers
Cargo vessels
Offshore platforms
Marine piping systems
The device is typically connected with remote valve operating equipment through shafts, gears, or linkage systems, enabling safe and efficient valve control from the deck area.
Overview
Working Principle of Deck Stand
Deck Stand operates by transmitting manual force from the deck operating position to remotely installed valves.
Operating Process:
Operator rotates the handwheel or operating handle.
The rotating movement is transferred through the shaft or gear mechanism.
The connected valve stem receives operating force.
The remote valve opens or closes.
The position indicator shows the valve status.
