A new technology is available that provides a more accurate and dependable method of opening a valve to relieve pressure, closing a valve to isolate pressure, or switching a valve to divert pressure. An expendable pin (the buckling pin) obeying Euler's Law acts both as a sensor and valve actuator to open, close, or divert valves at an exact set pressure.
