    摘要: A valve body with a diverted flow passage extending between the inlet and the outlet is provided with a closure element that is mounted between the inlet and outlet and movable between first and second lift points for regulating fluid flow through the passage. A baffle disposed in the flow passage intermediate the first and second lift points alters one or more flow characteristics of the fluid to improve the efficiency of fluid flow through the valve. In a right angle body valve, the baffle takes the form of a plate with an aperture positioned concentrically with the inlet passage and the valve closure element. A top plane surface of the baffle plate is positioned below the centerline of the outlet and is perpendicular to the centerline of the inlet. The baffle separates turbulent areas of flow in the passage so that the pressure and flow of fluid exiting the valve are more uniformly distributed over the entire outlet. In modified forms of the invention, the baffle shape, position and aperture are matched with the flow constraining structure to produce optimum flow through the structure. The invention may be employed in any structure where intersecting flow paths meet such that the direction of fluid flow is changed between the structure's inlet and outlet.

    摘要: A manifold assembly 10 for operating a safety relief valve 12 includes a manifold block 60 having a block inlet port 230, a block dome pressure port 232, and a pair of control cavities 220 and 222 each adapted for receiving a pilot valve 70 or auxiliary control member 80. Inlet control valves 74, 84, dome pressure control valves 76, 86, and test control valves 78, 88 are each mounted on the manifold block. One of the pilot valves may be maintained on-line for controlling operation of the safety relief valve, while the other pilot valve may be isolated for service. A cartridge pilot valve assembly 70 includes a bushing 126 for facilitating installation and removal of the cartridge valve assembly from the valve block. An improved metal washer 122 is provided having inner and outer knife edges 330, 334 for sealing engagement between the valve body 110 and the block 60.

    摘要: A flow control device illustrated as a pressure relief valve (10, 10A) has a reciprocable valve member (22, 22A) for seating on a face (20, 20A) of a fixed seat ring (18, 18A). The valve member (22, 22A) includes a hub (36, 36A), an outer seal ring (38, 38A), and a flexible connecting member (40, 40A) extending between and connecting the seal ring (38, 38A) and the hub (36, 36A). Upon seating or reseating of valve member (22, 22A) seal ring (38, 38A) contacts fixed seat ring (18, 18A) and flexible connecting member (40, 40A) flexes upon relative movement of the hub (36, 36A) after initial contact of the seal ring (38, 38A) with the fixed seat ring (20, 20A) to act as a shock absorber for absorbing impact forces.

    摘要: A removable bowling ball thumb insert sleeve for installation in a bowling ball hole, having an expander within a short counterbore in the bottom portion of the thumb insert sleeve. The expander device is actuated by rotation of an actuating screw using a tool inserted through a center bore within the thumb insert sleeve. Actuation of the expander device expands a split ring within the counterbore to engage the sleeve and urge it radially outwardly to engage the wall of the bowling ball hole and frictionally retain the sleeve within the hole.

    摘要: A pressure relief valve (14, 14A) has a reciprocable valve member (34, 34A) for seating on an annular seat face (66,66A) of a nozzle assembly (38,38A). The nozzle assembly (38,38A) has an inner seat ring (40,40A), a radially outer anchor ring (42,42A), and a flexible connecting member (44,44A) extending in a generally radial direction between the outer peripheral surface (64) of the seat ring (40,40A) and the inner peripheral surface of the anchor ring (42,42A). Upon seating or reseating of the valve member, (34,34A), seal face (36,36A) contacts the seat face (66,66A) of seat ring (40,40A) and flexible connecting member (44,44A) flexes upon relative movement of the seat ring (40,40A) after initial contact of the valve member (34,34A) against the seating ring (40,40A) thereby to act as a shock absorber for absorbing impact forces.
