Abstract: Extraction valve 100 includes main body section 10, first inflow port portion 11a, second inflow port portion 12a, extraction section 12, first flow path 11b, second flow path 12b, first valve body 13 and second valve body 14, push-in bar 15, and cock 18 connected to an end of push-in bar 15 and used to rotate push-in bar 15. One or both of first valve body 13 and second valve body 14 are moved back and forth on the basis of the rotation of push-in bar 15, and first flow path 11b is opened and closed by the back-and-forth movement of first valve body 13 and second flow path 12b is opened and closed by the back-and-forth movement of second valve body 14.

Abstract: A two-piece valve shell (body and bolted-on top bonnet) structure reduces possible leakage paths while also providing a top-side ball/stem installation/removal path (when the bonnet piece is not present) to facilitate initial valve assembly as well as subsequent inspection/removal of the ball/stem and other valve internals for conducting valve maintenance without requiring the valve body to be removed from its process connections. Internal wetted valve surfaces are coated with tantalum to provide a tantalum ball valve suitable for use as a sulfuric acid feed valve in severe high-temperature high-pressure industrial processes such as HPAL processes. Sealing cavities created by spaced-apart body-to-bonnet and/or stem-to-bonnet sealing structures can be inertly pressurized to hermetically isolate the sealing structures from ingress/leakage of corrosive process materials.

Abstract: A pressure regulator valve for regulating pressures within a portion of an irrigation system, can also be used to shut off downstream flow into the portion of the irrigation system in response to an incoming command arriving via an incoming port into the regulator.

Abstract: A valve assembly structured to reduce the volume of water along a path of fluid flow of a water supply line, including a valve body having a stabilizing chamber, a receiving chamber, and a valve member disposed therein. The valve member is disposable between an open orientation and a closed orientation relative to fluid flow between the stabilizing and receiving chambers. A biasing structure is disposed to normally bias said valve member into the closed orientation and is configured to exert a predetermined biasing force on said valve member. A transfer passage is disposed in fluid communication with and between the stabilizing and receiving chambers and is configured to define and direct a decreased volume of fluid flow, at an increased water pressure, on said valve member, wherein the increased water pressure is greater than the predetermined biasing force and sufficient to dispose the valve member in the open orientation.

Abstract: A kelly valve for placement in a tubular drillstring has an inner cage, which holds a valve ball, lower valve ball seat and other valve components. A valve stem connected to the valve ball extends through a valve stem sleeve, positioned in an opening in the wall of the main body of the kelly valve. A thrust bearing of a low friction material, preferably of polyether ether ketone (PEEK), is positioned between the valve stem and the valve stem sleeve. A port in the valve ball seat permits pressure below the kelly valve to bypass a seal and act on the inside of the valve ball. A circumferential notch in the valve ball seat accommodates a circular spring, and prevents complete compression of the spring when the valve ball seat contacts an interior shoulder in the inner cage.

The closing body is guided axially and/or radially by at least one guide ball. The at least one guide ball is arranged between the closing body and a lateral delimitation of the fluid chamber. A fluid passage is formed in the radial direction of the valve body.

The first and second interior surfaces of the handle aperture are configured to accommodate first and second bolts of a pipe flange fitting extending through the handle aperture.

Abstract: A blast gate has a branch dust connector, a main duct connector, and a gate. The branch duct connector has a first tubular portion. The main duct connector is stably connected with the branch duct connector and has a second tubular portion, an inside surface, and a leak-proof protrusion. The inside surface faces the branch duct connector, and the leak-proof protrusion protrudes from the inside surface of the main duct connector and has a protrusion opening communicating with an interior of the second tubular portion. The gate is configured to slide in contact with the leak-proof protrusion to make an interior of the first tubular portion and the protrusion opening isolated from or communicate with each other. The blast gate reduces possibility of formation of gaps between the gate and the main duct connector and thus reduces possibility of air loss.

Abstract: A proportional solenoid valve includes a valve body defining an inlet and an outlet for a fluid flow through the valve body and an armature that is moveable along a longitudinal axis from a first closed position to a second open position to control the flow of fluid through the valve. The valve further includes a flux can and an encapsulated coil assembly encompassed within the flux can. The encapsulated coil assembly includes a bobbin, a wire coil wound around the bobbin, and a non-conductive encapsulation layer that encapsulates the bobbin and the wire coil so as to electrically isolate the wire coil from the flux can and other conductive components of the valve. When the solenoid coil is energized, a magnetic field is created which causes the armature to move away from the first position against the valve body toward the second position, thereby opening the valve.
