  • AXIAL FLUID VALVES WITH ANNULAR FLOW CONTROL MEMBERS
    Publication number: 20160091110
    Abstract: Axial fluid valves having annular flow control members are described herein. An example axial fluid valve described herein includes an axial flow valve body defining a passageway between an inlet and an outlet. The example axial fluid valve includes a sleeve slidably received by an inner surface of the axial flow valve body and movable along an axis substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the passageway. The example axial fluid valve includes a linkage or a gear operatively connected to the sleeve to move the sleeve to vary a flow of fluid between the inlet and the outlet through the sleeve.
