  • Fluid flow controller having axial needle valve for adjusting the flow rate
    Patent number: 6467501
    Abstract: A fluid flow regulator in which fluid is passed through an impeller chamber having a pressure differential-operated impeller piston for monitoring changing inlet and outlet fluid pressures to maintain a constant fluid flow rate. A needle valve mounted on the body at one end of the impeller chamber engages an orifice opening to precisely change the fluid flow rate.

  • Flow control valve with one piece plug/valve tube sleeve assembly
    Patent number: 5913328
    Abstract: A fluid flow control valve having a plug opening with a plug having a central passage for discharging fluid from the controller. The plug opening has a smaller cylindrical guide surface, threaded for engaging the plug, and a larger cylindrical guide surface. The plug has similarly shaped surfaces for engaging the guide surfaces of the plug opening to precisely locate the plug with respect to an impeller chamber.
