Systems and methods for electronically tracking a status of industrial equipment

In one embodiment, a non-transitory computer readable medium may store computer instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to receive an input associated with placing a piece of industrial automation equipment offline, determine whether the input corresponds to one or more regulations associated with placing the piece of industrial automation equipment offline, display a first set of instructions regarding how to place the piece of industrial automation equipment offline when the input corresponds to the one or more regulations, and display a second set of instructions regarding how to place the piece of equipment offline when the input does not correspond to the one or more regulations.

Quick discharge faucet valve
10174862 · 2019-01-08 ·

A quick discharge faucet valve includes a shaft, a seal assembly, a coupling member, and a rotary handle. The shaft is inserted through an opening of a pipe, and a valve opening is positioned near a discharge opening of the faucet. The seal assembly is fastened to the shaft to abut against a joint connecting the faucet to the pipe, which is releasably positioned at the joint via a spring member. The coupling member is disposed at an outer end of the shaft to couple the faucet with the rotary handle. A first interlocking member of the rotary handle interlocks with a second interlocking member of the coupling member. The rotary handle is rotated to unlock the interlocking members and pulled to release the seal assembly from the joint to allow the fluid to flow around the shaft and discharge at the discharge opening of the faucet.

Fluid controller

Provided is a fluid controller which enables precise flow-rate adjustment while securing the durability. The fluid controller includes a stem vertical-movement-amount upper-limit-value setting means 10 which sets an upper limit value of a vertical movement amount of a stem 8 associated with opening and closing operations. The fluid controller further includes a stem vertical-movement-amount fine-adjustment means 11 which changes the vertical movement amount of the stem 8 associated with the opening and closing operations, within a range of not greater than the upper limit value.

A pressurized fluid turbulence system includes a component inlet that receives a liquid component, component outlet for expelling the liquid component and an adjustable ball valve arranged between and in fluid communication with the component inlet and component outlet, and can open and close a flow path between the two. The component inlet and outlet both have a cylindrical channel and the component inlet is upstream from the component outlet. A cylindrically shaped pressurized input receives a pressurized fluid and has a longitudinal axis aligned in a direction towards the adjustable ball valve such that a pressurized fluid may impact the adjustable ball valve when the pressurized input is in an open position. A system for mixing two liquid components includes two pressurized fluid turbulence systems in which the two liquid components are mixed downstream of the component outlets.

SAFETY VALVE
20240318741 · 2024-09-26 · ·

A normally closed valve comprising: a seat that has a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet; a diaphragm, an external handle and an internal safety mechanism operationally coupled to the external handle and the diaphragm. The valve allows forcing the handle in a first direction, thereby moving the internal safety mechanism through at least a first and subsequently a second stage. During the first stage: the diaphragm is pressed onto the seat, flow of pressurized air through the internal safety mechanism is blocked, and air pent in the valve is vented, causing the valve to be and remain in a closed state. During the second stage: flow of pressurized air through the internal safety mechanism is allowed, the pressurized air after passing therethrough, acting against the pressing of the diaphragm onto the seat, and a venting of air is reduced, causing the valve to be and remain in an open state.
