  • Publication number: 20140332103
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for reducing the pressure and velocity of a flowing fluid. According to the present invention, a cage has discs having through holes which come into close contact with an outer surface of a plug. The discs are stacked in a direction of a central shaft of the cage. Flow passage portions are formed on the stacked discs, wherein the flow passage portions communicate with the outer surfaces of the discs, and the inner surfaces which correspond to the through-holes so as to form flow passages between the stacked discs, and the direction of the flow passages changes to a circumferential direction and a vertical direction on the stacked discs.

  • Patent number: 8499610
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for testing the performance of a safety valve. The apparatus includes an accumulator including at least one electric heater for heating a predetermined amount of water in the accumulator, and storing steam produced by the electric heater, a test vessel storing the steam supplied from the accumulator, and providing steam at a test pressure to a safety valve, the steam being supplied after controlling flow rate and pressure, a condensing tank storing demineralized water to be supplied to the accumulator, and condensing and collecting the steam discharged from the safety valve, and a water-supply pump supplying the water stored in the condensing tank to the accumulator.
