Abstract: A pressure tight plug for sealing a coupler of a dry disconnect valve includes a housing, a main flow valve, and at least one urging member being rotatable with respect to the housing of the coupler. The pressure tight plug includes a body, a locking ring, a pressure relief lock valve, and a pressure relief channel. The body includes an internal region for sealing adjacent the main flow valve of the coupler member, and a flanged perimeter for securing the plug to the coupler. The locking ring is receivable on, and rotatable with respect to, the body for engaging with the at least one urging member of the coupler. The pressure relief lock valve is fixed with respect to the body. The pressure relief channel extends from the internal region of the body to atmosphere, via said pressure relief lock valve.

Abstract: A coupling for a break-away valve assembly includes a coupling and an adapter, the coupling including: a valve arranged in an annular body, the annular body having a valve seat including a first portion and a second portion, adjacent to the first portion, of greater internal diameter relative to the first portion, the valve being biased in a first direction to seal against the valve seat on disconnection of the coupling from the adapter, wherein the valve is biased in a second direction, and the valve is adapted to extend past the first portion into the second portion of the valve seat to release a volume of fluid if the pressure acting on the valve exceeds a predetermined surge pressure threshold.

Abstract: An industrial fabric, belt or sleeve and a method of making the fabric, belt or sleeve are disclosed. The industrial fabric, belt or sleeve is produced by spirally winding strips of polymeric material, such as an industrial strapping or ribbon material, around two rolls in a side-to-side manner in which a gap between adjacent edges is formed. A second material, for example a gap filler material, is placed between the adjacent edges, and the adjoining edges are joined by melting the filler material, strips of polymeric material, or both. The gap filler material can have a specific cross-sectional shape corresponding to the gap.
