Abstract: A volute for a pump featuring a volute or casing having a pump inlet for receiving a fluid being pumped, a pump discharge for providing the fluid, and a volute or casing vane forming double volutes therein. The volute has an upper cutwater farthest from the pump discharge defining an upper cutwater throat area and an end of passage for the upper cutwater, and also has a lower cutwater closest to the pump discharge defining a lower cutwater throat and a corresponding end of passage for the lower cutwater. The upper cutwater throat area is dimensioned to be greater than and not equal to the lower cutwater throat area so the upper cutwater throat area and the lower cutwater throat area provide substantially equal flow velocity at both the upper cutwater and the lower cutwater in response to an angular sweep of the fluid being pumped. The end of passage for the upper cutwater is dimensioned with an upper cutwater passage area that is greater than and not equal to a corresponding lower cutwater passage area of the corresponding end of passage for the lower cutwater so that upper and lower cutwater passage areas at the pump discharge are balanced as a function of differing rates of flow of the fluid being pumped therein and so that the fluid being pumped from associated ends of the upper and lower cutwater passage areas meets at the pump discharge with a substantially equal velocity.

Abstract: A valve includes a body having an upstream port to measure upstream pressure and a downstream port to measure downstream pressure, both ports configured re a common axis, and includes a ball arranged in the body to rotate re the common axis between open and closed positions to allow for fluid flow/non-fluid flow. The ball has a calibrated member having a calibrated orifice to allow fluid flow and has a flow coefficient, an upstream pressure tap located upstream of the calibrated orifice and in fluidic communication with the upstream port to measure upstream pressure when in the open position, the upstream pressure tap angled re the common axis, and a downstream pressure tap located downstream of the calibrated orifice and in fluidic communication with the downstream port to measure downstream pressure when in the open position, the downstream pressure tap angled re the common axis, so conditions of fluid flow are determined based on a measured pressure differential between upstream and downstream pressure taps re the flow coefficient of the calibrated orifice when in the open position.

Abstract: A balance or flow limiting valve features a valve body/member having a flow rate indicator/scale containing setting having printed flow rates calibrated in units of measure in volume per time increment between a minimum flow rate position (MIN) and a maximum flow rate position (MAX); and a knob/handle having a position indicator and being moveable to any continuous position on the flow rate indicator/scale between MIN and MAX in response to a user applied force, where the relationship between the flow rate indicator/scale and the position indicator is based on calibrated flow characteristics of the balance or flow limiting valve. The user can set an exact desired flow rate in one operation by moving the knob/handle to a desired position between MIN and MAX without consulting a printed flow curve or balance calculator to determine the desired exact flow rate.
