    摘要: A regulator for regulating a flow rate is provided with an upper connector having a downwardly opened channel in communication with the regulator. An on-off valve connected to the regulator is provided with a lower connector having an upwardly opened channel in communication with the on-off valve. The upper connector is lapped over the lower connector and removably joined thereto with a screw so as to cause the downwardly opened channel to communicate with the upwardly opened channel. Accordingly, the regulator can be removed singly, for example, when malfunctioning.

    摘要: A pair of tubular joint members each have a gasket holding annular protuberance on an abutting end face thereof. The protuberance has an inner peripheral surface continuous with the inner peripheral surface of the joint member, and a sealing face adapted to intimately contact an end face of of a gasket at a position radially outward from the inner peripheral surface thereof. The sealing face is most protuberant at a position radially outward from an inner edge thereof. When the most protuberant end of the sealing face comes into contact with the gasket end face, a clearance is formed between the portion of the sealing face radially inward from the protuberant end and the radially inward portion of the gasket end face. The clearance is eliminated by the deformation of the gasket when the pipe joint is tightened up.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for detection of clogging of an orifice by measuring the upstream side pressure without breaking up the piping system in a flow rate control unit using an orifice, so as to extend the life of the flow rate control unit and enhance its safety. The apparatus of detecting clogging of an orifice in a pressure-type flow rate controller has a control valve (CV), an orifice (2), a pressure detector (14) for measuring the upstream pressure P1 therebetween, and a flow rate setting circuit (32) wherein, with the upstream pressure P1 maintained about two or more times higher than the downstream pressure P2, the downstream flow rate QC is calculated with the equation QC=KP1 (K=constant) and wherein the control valve (CV) is controlled by the difference signal QY between the calculated flow rate QC and the set flow rate QS. The apparatus comprises: a storage memory M memorizing standard pressure attenuation data Y(t) of the upstream pressure P1 measured with the flow rate switched from the high set flow rate QSH to the low set flow rate QSL with the orifice (2) not clogged, a pressure detector (14) for determination of the pressure attenuation data P(t) of the upstream pressure P1 with the flow rate switched from the high set flow rate QSH to the low set flow rate QSL with the orifice (2) in the actual conditions, a central processing unit CPU for checking the pressure attenuation data P(t) against standard pressure attenuation data Y(t), and an alarm circuit (46) that turns on a clogging alarm when the pressure attenuation data P(t) deviates from standard pressure attenuation data Y(t) to a specific degree or beyond that.

    摘要: A fluid control valve, which can control a fluid having a pressure in the order of 10 kg/cm2, has a response time in the order of several milliseconds can be made small in size, and a fluid supply/exhaust system that provides less gas counter flow in the event of a plurality of valves being used. A fluid control valve of the invention controls a fluid moving in a valve body by closing and opening a portion between a valve seat and a valve holder by use of a drive unit. The drive unit has a rod-shaped shaft for application of pressure through the valve seat and the valve holder, and a member “a” fixed around the rod-shaped shaft. The member “a” is made from a magnetic material, and has a space between it and the shaft. A coil provided in parallel to the shaft, moves the shaft via the member “a” up and down by electromagnetic induction, and makes use of a spring force to close and open a portion between the valve seat and the valve holder.

    摘要: A fluid feeding apparatus includes parallel flow passages connected at their downstream side, each parallel passage including a pressure flow controller (C) for regulating the flow of fluid and a fluid changeover valve (D) for opening and closing the passage on the downstream side of the pressure flow controller. A fluid feeding control unit (B) controls the pressure flow controllers and changeover valves so that when a changeover valve is closed a control valve (1) upstream of the changeover valve is also closed to prevent a pressure buildup at the changeover valve. In addition to the control valve (1), each pressure flow controller includes an orifice (5) downstream from the control valve, a pressure detector (3) for sensing pressure (P1) in the passage at a point between the control valve and the orifice, and a calculation control unit (6) for producing a control signal Qy for controlling the drive (2) for the control valve. The calculation control unit first calculates a flow rate signal Qc=KP1, where K is a constant and P1 is the pressure sensed by the pressure detector. The calculation control unit then calculates Qy as the difference between a set point or flow rate specifying signal Qs and the calculated value Qc. Thus, the flow rate on the downstream side of the orifice is controlled by regulating the pressure P1 on the upstream side of the orifice via the control valve. The fluid feeding apparatus avoids transient overshooting at the start of fluid feeding and at fluid changeover time and is suitable for use in semiconductor manufacturing facilities and other gas supply systems where high precision is required.
