Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to sealing a bonnet in a valve system. Using novel combinations of seals and gaskets, the present systems can prevent fugitive emissions in a high pressure piping system. For example, in certain embodiments, the present systems combine spring energized seals, O-rings, and PTFE spacers in a bonnet to create a gas-tight seal in a fluid transportation system.

Abstract: A shutter valve for regulating pressure and controlling fluid flow comprising an actuator ring having a plurality of gear teeth, the gear teeth driven by a mating gear or other means. A plurality of obturator pin bosses, each pin boss affixed within an inside circumference of the actuator ring, the pin boss further comprising a hinge pin aperture. The shutter valve further comprises three or more obturator elements, each obturator element defining a petal shape structure including a tongue and groove feature along at least a portion of an outside circumference thereof, and wherein each obturator element is hingedly coupled to a hinge pin aperture of an obturator pin boss. A hook element is located at an apex of said petal shape structure of each obturator element. The shutter value further includes a housing defining a cavity or holding the actuator ring and the three or more obturator elements.
