Abstract: Present disclosure describes a shot peening flow control valve for regulating flow of ferromagnetic media. The shot peening flow control valve comprising a body enclosing a passage for transferring the ferromagnetic media from a first end of the passage to a second end of the passage and at least one core set arranged between the first end and the second end. The at least one core set comprises at least one magnetic unit, and the at least one magnetic unit is operable to provide a magnetic field at the passage. The at least one magnetic unit may project or provide the magnetic field at the passage in order to regulate, control, or stop the flow of ferromagnetic media. Thus, the shot peening flow control valve facilitates effective control of the ferromagnetic media during the shot peeing process.

Abstract: The present application provides to a media dosage unit (300) for shot peening. The application also presents methods of using and making the media dosage unit. The media dosage unit comprises a flow sensor (304) for measuring flow rate of solid particles; and a connector on the flow sensor for coupling the flow sensor to a shot circulation conduit (306). The present application also relates to a media flow valve (316) for the media dosage unit for shot peening. The application additionally discloses a method of making or assembling the microwave media flow sensor.

Abstract: A control valve (100) comprises a conduit (102), a controller (104), a sensor unit (106; 146, 148), a cylindrical housing (112) and one or more regulating columns (124, 126). The conduit further comprises a hollow cylindrical body (114) and two smaller and shorter cylindrical extensions (116, 118) for the insertion of the regulating columns which are orthogonal to the hollow cylindrical body and provide a contactless means to control the flow of the medium (101) in the conduit.
