  • Publication number: 20240142946
    Abstract: A safety module which is able to communicate with a control device that performs a control on a valve module, is equipped with a safety control processing circuit that carries out a safety control communication with the control device, a connection terminal and a safety control wiring used in the safety control communication, an operation control processing circuit that performs an operation control communication with the control device, and outputs an operation control signal, an input terminal to which the operation control communication is input, an operation control wiring used in the operation control communication, and an output terminal which is able to output the operation control signal to the valve module.

  • Patent number: 11732807
    Abstract: An eccentric butterfly valve that maintains high sealability when closed even when a high-pressure fluid is oriented in either direction of a forward flow or backflow. The valve includes a disk (23) axially supported at an eccentric position via a stem (22) inside a body (21). The disk is provided to a seat ring (24) fixed with a seat retainer (25) so as to be hermetically sealable. A flexible part is formed on an inner diameter side of the seat ring, and a spring member is mounted between the flexible part and the seat retainer. In the spring member, a load increases substantially in proportion to the magnitude of tilt of the flexible part when the disk is displaced to a seat retainer side. When the flexible part is elastically deformed, the spring member is elastically deformed in a state where contact with the seat retainer is avoided.

  • Publication number: 20230106407
    Abstract: Provided is a multilayer film that is excellent in chemical resistance without change in appearance and reduction in adhesive strength by preventing the swelling of a thermoplastic polyurethane layer when a chemical attaches thereto. A layer adjacent to a surface coating layer in the thermoplastic polyurethane layer of the multilayer film is constituted by a thermoplastic polyurethane that is a reaction product obtained by using hexamethylene diisocyanate (hereinafter, referred to as “HDI”), and comprises more than 30% of the thermoplastic polyurethane formed from HDI, and the thermoplastic polyurethane layer formed from HDI has a thickness of 5 ?m or larger. This achieves a multilayer film that is excellent in chemical resistance without change in appearance and reduction in adhesive strength by preventing the swelling of a thermoplastic polyurethane layer when a chemical attaches thereto.

  • Publication number: 20230002542
    Abstract: Problem to be Solved A thermoplastic polyurethane film that is capable of achieving a stress relaxation property regardless of the type of polyol, while having good pasting workability, as well as a multilayer film using the same, is provided. Solution The thermoplastic polyurethane film is constituted by a reaction product obtained by using dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate (H12MDI). This enables the thermoplastic polyurethane film and the multilayer film to have a good stress relaxation property regardless of the type of polyol, and to have excellent pasting workability.

  • Patent number: 11486499
    Abstract: A wedge-shaped gate valve with a branching part formed to be open in a direction orthogonal to an inner flow path of a valve box having a coupling part on both sides, and a valve disk ascends and descends from the branching part via a valve stem to open and close an annular valve seat surface. At a boundary between the coupling part and the branching part, a reinforcing thickened part having a cylindrical, cone, or truncated cone shape with a diameter gradually reducing from the branching part toward the coupling part side is provided, and the thickened part is formed by taking, as an outer shape, a cylinder, a cone, or a truncated cone with an axis P2 that is eccentric from a center line P1 of the flow path to the branching part side and is parallel to or crossing the center line P1 as a rotation axis.

  • Publication number: 20120077128
    Abstract: A method of substrate edge treatment includes forming a processing target film on a treatment target substrate, applying an energy line to a predetermined position on the processing target film to form a latent image on the processing target film, heating the treatment target substrate in which the latent image is formed on the processing target film, developing the processing target film after the heating, inspecting whether a residue is present at an edge of the treatment target substrate after the developing, and cleaning an end of the treatment target substrate to remove the residue at the edge of the treatment target substrate determined to be defective in the inspecting.
