摘要:
Pressure relief apparatus for ensuring that the pressure of fluid in a vessel does not exceed a known maximum value, comprising a bursting disc assembly (10) together with a pressure relief valve means (40), there being a sealed interspace (76) between the assembly (10) and the valve means (40). The apparatus also includes indicator means (56,74) for indicating when the pressure in said interspace (76) reaches a first known minimum value, while said valve means. (40) includes secondary relief valve means (54) which permit flow of fluid therethrough from the interspace (76) when the pressure in said interspace (76) reaches a further known value at least equal to said first known value but less than said known maximum value, and primary relief valve means (46) which permit flow of fluid therethrough from the interspace (76) when the disc (12) of the assembly (10) bursts. Preferably the primary and secondary relief valve means (46,54) and the indicator means (56,74) are incorporated in a single valve unit (40).
摘要:
A valve comprises a valve housing (10),an annular valve seat (12) and a valve closure plate (14) having a deformable annular seal (52), the valve being operable from a first, closed condition in which the valve closure plate (14) engages the valve seat and into a second, open condition in which the valve closure plate (14) is displaced from the valve seat. The valve closure plate (14) comprises first (14a) and second (14b) portions which are releasably securable together to retain the deformable seal (52) on the valve closure plate and the second portion (14b) of the valve closure member is removable with the valve in the closed condition to allow removal and/or replacement of the deformable seal (52).

摘要:
A handle assembly for operating a valve of the type having a valve body and a pivotally mounted actuating spindle (22) extending from the valve body has a mounting means (12) to secure the assembly to the spindle (22), a handle portion (14) connected to the mounting means and a pivotally mounted locking member (28). The locking member is pivotable, either by camming surfaces on the handle portion and the locking member or by a key, between a first locked position in which it engages with a portion of the valve body, and a second, unlocked position in which it is free from the valve body and enables the valve spindle to be rotated by the handle portion. The locking member (28) is provided with a number of apertures which can be aligned with corresponding apertures in the mounting means (12) and the handle portion (14) when the locking member is in the locked position. The apertures are shaped to receive tamper-sensitive tape or wire or the shackle of a padlock, to indicate or prevent unauthorised use of the valve.
摘要:
A valve is in the form of a valve body (10) having a valve inlet (26), a valve outlet (28) and a valve seat (16) disposed between the inlet and the outlet. A valve closure member (12) is movable between a first, closed position in abutment with the valve seat (16) and a second, open position in which it is displaced from the valve seat (16). A shaft (70) is pivotally mounted within the valve body (10) and one end is connected to an actuating handle (14), by means of which it is pivotable. An arm (54) is connected to the shaft (70) and to the valve closure member (12), whereby movement of the actuating handle (14) causes opening and closing of the valve. The positioning of the pivoting portions of the valve and the spring within the valve body (i.e. in an aperture actually within the material forming the valve body) means that the only item other than the valve closure member in the path of material being discharged is the arm (54), and that when in the open position the valve closure member causes no constriction of the bore.
摘要:
A valve assembly has a valve body (10) which houses a pivotally mounted valve closure member (14) in the form of a valve closure flap secured to upper and lower spindles (16, 17). The valve housing is formed from two sections (20, 22) which are releasably secured together by means of an annular clamp (24) which engages with a peripheral upstanding rib (36) formed by the alignment of a flange (34) on one face of each of the valve housing sections. The valve closure member is located in the vicinity of the junction of the two valve housing portions. The provision of a clamp permits the valve assembly to be dismantled extremely quickly in the event of service or repair of the valve assembly.
