  • Patent number: 10458571
    Abstract: A sealing device (1) for a stem (12) of a valve (10) comprising a metal gasket (4) for the valve (10) stem (12), shaped as a half “U” provided with a single sealing lip (44), which has a radially inner surface (442) and a radially outer surface (444), inclined along the radially inner direction, a wedge metal ring (6) positioned inside the half “U” of the metal gasket (4), an elastic element (7) configured to cooperate with said wedge metal ring (6), the elastic element providing the wedge metal ring with an elastic load and a static sealing ring (8). The elastic element (7) is configured for applying a force to the wedge metal ring (6) such that said wedge metal ring (6) applies a contact pressure to the sole sealing lip (44) of the metal gasket (4) shaped as a half “U”.

  • Patent number: 7117894
    Abstract: A regulation ball valve for a fluid flow in which a ball is rotatable to bring a passage thereof from a limit position of full opening of the valve to a limit position of full closure of the valve and vice versa. Present in the passage are perforated baffles that at least at an intermediate position between the limit positions are passed through by a fluid flow. The perforated baffles include two perforated metal sheets between which a layer permeable to the fluid is disposed. In particular the layer can advantageously be formed of chaotically-disposed filaments as in steel wool.
