  • Spherical automatic flow emergency restrictor (S.A.F.E.R.) valve
    Patent number: 10428964
    Abstract: A ball check valve controls the flow of fluid with a sphere. A body has a fluid path and a recess for receiving the sphere in alignment with the fluid path. The sphere has a retainer which secures a ball check within it. When the valve is in a “Run” position and the rate of fluid flow increases excessively, the ball check seats in a narrow opening of the sphere, thus restricting the flow of fluid.
    Type: Grant
