摘要： A downstream ball valve purging inlet directs purging fluid intentionally onto a downstream portion of the valve ball. The Coanda effect attaches some of the fluid to the ball's surface, so that it flows around the ball to an opposite side thereof, thereby purging the downstream valve cavity more efficiently than designs that avoid impacting the ball and depend on mixing to distribute the purging fluid onto the ball. The purging inlet can be downstream of the ball and directed at an acute angle, proximate the ball and directed perpendicular to the outlet axis, or some combination thereof. A central cavity purging drain can be connected with the purging inlet, so that the same fluid purges both the valve interior and the downstream cavity. Embodiments include a plurality of downstream purging inlets, which can have equal purging angles and can be equally spaced about the outlet axes.

摘要： A valve body, for use in a valve housing having an inlet and outlet, includes a spherical outer surface. A flow opening extends diametrically from one side of the outer surface to an opposing side. A plurality of flow control passageways extend from the outer surface into the valve body. The valve body is moveable relative to the valve housing between a closed position, a restricted flow position, and a free flow position. In the closed position, the flow opening and all of the plurality of flow control passageways are out of alignment with the inlet and outlet. In the restricted flow position, at least one flow control passageway is moved into fluid communication with the inlet and outlet to facilitate fluid communication therebetween. In the free flow position, the flow opening is moved into fluid communication with the inlet and outlet to facilitate fluid communication therebetween.

摘要： A multi-piece ball valve includes a body, a first closure piece attached to the body, the first closure piece and the body together defining an interior cavity. A ball is disposed in the interior cavity, the ball defining a bore extending through the ball. A load sensor ring is disposed in an annular cavity defined in an outer surface of the body between the body and the first closure piece. A pressure sensor is operable to sense fluid pressure between the body and the first closure piece. An electronic control system is in communication with the load sensor ring and the pressure sensor.

摘要： A flow channel switching valve includes a valve stem that is attached to a ball valve member. The flow channel switching valve includes a potentiometer shaft that is press-fitted into an attachment hole provided in an end surface of the valve stem, and a potentiometer that detects a rotation angle of the potentiometer shaft around an axis. The potentiometer shaft has a small-diameter portion, a medium-diameter portion, and a large-diameter portion that are sequentially connected in a direction of the axis, and is supported rotatably around the axis in the attachment hole in an inserted state before being press-fitted into the attachment hole. The large-diameter portion is press-fitted into an upper end portion of the attachment hole.

摘要： According to at least one aspect, a fluid flow tube can define a first cavity for receiving a first ultrasonic sensor. The first cavity can have a first longitudinal axis intersecting a longitudinal axis of the fluid flow tube. The fluid flow tube can define a second cavity for receiving a second ultrasonic sensor. The second cavity can have a second longitudinal axis aligned with the first longitudinal axis. The fluid flow tube can define a third cavity having a first transverse cross sectional area larger than a second transverse cross sectional area of the fluid flow tube and sized to receive a shut-off valve.

摘要： A ball valve can include a housing that contains a flow path and a ball positioned in the flow path. The ball can be configured to seal a first portion of the flow path from a second portion of the flow path in a closed position, and at least a portion of the ball can be dissolvable and the ball can include a bore formed therethrough.

摘要： A ball valve is disclosed that includes a valve housing, a first seat surface having a first inner diameter and a first outer diameter, and a second seat surface having a second inner diameter and a second outer diameter. The second inner diameter is larger than the first outer diameter, and may be separated by a channel. A resilient seat surface may be disposed within the channel. The valve further includes a ball that is rotatably movable within the housing and that contacts at least one of the first seat surface and the second seat surface to form a seal.

摘要： A valve assembly includes a valve body defining a main flow pathway (28) and a bypass channel (52) for bypassing the main flow pathway. A ball (20) is located in the main flow pathway and is moveable between an open position and a closed position. When the ball is in the open position, an open pathway through the ball fluidly completes the main flow pathway to provide an ordinary flow, and when the ball is in the closed position the ball blocks the main flow pathway. A pressure relief feature (50) is disposed in the bypass channel (52), and the valve body further defines a pressure relief passage (62) comprising a clearance between an outer surface of the ball (20) and the valve body. The pressure relief feature (50) permits a relief flow from the bypass channel (52) through the pressure relief passage (62) around the ball (20), and to the outlet (24) to relieve excess pressure in the connecting inlet piping (22).
