German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general) / explosion safety
German term or phrase: Abfüllsicherung
From the penultimate page of my technical regulations for flammable liquids

This section concerns regulations for tanks and tank equipment and lists the following:

Überfüllsicherungen, Grenzwertgeber, Abfüllsicherungen

I've been calling Überfüllsicherungen "overflow protection devices", but am now unsure what to call Abfüllsicherungen. There's no explanation of their function, so I'm not even sure how they differ from each other.

Does anyone have any bright ideas how I can distinguish between them?

Many thanks.
