    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 pipe joint comprises a pair of tubular joint members, an annular gasket interposed between abutting end faces of the joint members, and a nut for joining the joint members. A seal projection is formed on the abutting end face of each joint member at a position radially outward of an inner periphery of the end face. When an end of the seal projection is brought into contact with an end face of the gasket by tightening the nut, a clearance is formed between an outer flat portion of the abutting end face of each joint member and the gasket end face opposed thereto. The clearance is greater than a clearance between an inner flat portion of the abutting end face of each joint member and the gasket end face opposed thereto, and is eliminated when the nut is completely tightened up.

    摘要: An improved and reduced-size and low-cost gas supply system equipped with a pressure-type flow rate control unit, to be used, for instance, in semiconductor manufacturing facilities is disclosed. Transient flow rate characteristics are improved to prevent the gas from overshooting when the gas supply is started, and to raise the flow rate control accuracy and reliability of facilities. That eliminates non-uniformity of products or semiconductors and raises the production efficiency. The gas supply system equipped with a pressure-type flow rate control unit is so configured that with the pressure on the upstream side of the orifice held about twice or more higher than the downstream side pressure, the gas flow rate is controlled to supply the gas to a gas-using process through an orifice-accompanying valve, the gas supply system comprising a control valve to receive gas from the gas supply source, an orifice-accompanying valve provided on the downstream side of the control valve, a pressure detector provided between the control valve and the orifice-accompanying valve, an orifice provided on the downstream side of the valve mechanism of the orifice-accompanying valve and a calculation control unit where on the basis of the pressure P1 detected by the pressure detector, the flow rate Qc is calculated with an equation Qc=KP1 (K: constant) and the difference between the flow-rate specifying signal Qs and the calculated flow rate Qc is then input as control signal Qy in the drive for the control valve, thereby regulating the opening of the control valve for adjusting the pressure P1 so that the flow rate of the gas to supply can be controlled.
