Abstract: An obturator element is disclosed with a petal shaped structure. The petal shaped structure can include a first edge portion along a first section of an outside circumference of the petal shaped structure and a second edge portion along a second section of the outside circumference of the petal shaped structure. The second edge portion can include an insert with a partial surface positioned toward a first side of the petal shaped structure corresponding to a source direction of intended fluid flow. The insert can include a full surface positioned toward a second side of the petal shaped structure. The second edge can include a second mating surface at least partially formed by the insert. The petal shaped structure can include a control connection portion and a hinged connection portion. The obturator element can pivot about the hinged connection portion by movement of the control connection portion.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to sealing a bonnet in a valve system. Using novel combinations of seals and gaskets, the present systems can prevent fugitive emissions in a high pressure piping system. For example, in certain embodiments, the present systems combine spring energized seals, O-rings, and PTFE spacers in a bonnet to create a gas-tight seal in a fluid transportation system.
