  • Publication number: 20050236051
    Abstract: A multi-port flow selector manifold valve includes a plurality of inlet ports adapted to be coupled to a fluid source, a test outlet adapted to communicate with at least one of the plurality of inlet ports, and a production outlet adapted to communicate with at least at least one of the plurality of inlet ports. A flow path is rotatably disposed between the test outlet and the plurality of inlet ports such that the flow path is rotatably alignable with each of the plurality of inlet ports. The flow path includes an inlet flow path having a longitudinal direction of flow and adapted to communicate with one of the plurality of inlet ports, an outlet flow path having a direction of flow substantially parallel to the inlet direction of flow and adapted to communicate with the test outlet, and an offset portion disposed between the inlet flow path and the outlet flow path. The offset portion has a direction of flow with an angle of less than 90 degrees to the outlet direction of flow.

  • Publication number: 20050236049
    Abstract: A multi-port selector valve has a valve body that includes an inlet port module, and outlet port module, and a port selector. The port selector is rotatably disposed in the valve body and includes a flow path disposed through the port selector, a path inlet, a path outlet, and an offset portion. The path inlet has a first flow direction and the path outlet has a second flow direction. The offset portion includes a longitudinal flow direction with an angle of less than 90 degrees with the first flow direction.

  • Publication number: 20050236050
    Abstract: A system for connecting multiple pipe lines includes a plurality of multi-port selector valves. Each valve includes a valve body having an inlet port module that includes a body adapted to connect to a fluid source and an outlet port module having a body with at least two outlet ports. Each of the outlet ports may connect to an outlet fluid destination. A port selector rotatably disposed in the valve body includes a rotatable member having a flow path there through that has a path inlet and a path outlet. The path outlet has a second flow direction substantially parallel to said first flow direction with an angle of less than 90 degrees to the first flow direction. An offset portion disposed between the first flow direction and the second flow direction has a longitudinal flow direction. An outlet valve line is adapted to connect one of the at least two outlet ports of a first valve of the plurality of valves to the inlet port of another of the plurality of valves.
