The invention discloses an hinged valve. The hinged valve includes a valve body, a valve stem, a valve spool, an actuator and a sliding member. The valve body is a housing, which is formed with a valve stem hole for partially accommodating the valve stem. A passage having an inlet and an outlet is formed in the housing. The valve spool is connected to the valve body through a hinge, so that the valve spool is able to rotate around the rotation axis of the hinge. The actuator cooperates with the sliding member, so that the rotational movement of the valve stem is transmitted to the valve spool through the actuator via the sliding member and converted into a movement that drives the valve spool to rotate around the rotation axis of the hinge to open or close the valve. The valve spool is provided with a locking post, the bottom end of the valve stem is provided with a locking hook. A locking boss is provided on the locking post, and a locking-ledge is provided on the locking hook. When the valve is in the closed state, the valve spool is locked to the valve body by the locking hook and the locking post, and the locking-ledge on the locking hook and the locking boss on the locking post cooperate with each other. The valve of the application has a more reliable locking and a more reliable sealing.

Provided are systems and methods for decreasing the cost and improving a suitable well safety valve. A well safety valve, comprising: an outer housing having a central bore extending axially through the outer housing, wherein the outer housing comprises an outer wall having a receptacle formed in the outer wall; an inner sleeve disposed in the central bore of the outer housing, wherein the inner sleeve comprises a lockout feature in an exterior surface of the inner sleeve; a sleeve disposed in the receptacle; a piston disposed in the sleeve, wherein the piston is actuated to travel longitudinally in the sleeve, wherein the inner sleeve is operable to move in response to movement of the piston; and a valve member disposed in the outer housing, wherein the valve member is operable to selectively restrict flow through the well safety valve in response to movement of the inner sleeve.

A throttling valve that allows staged pressure drop increments upstream and/or downstream of a primary flow trim assembly within a valve body to help prevent cavitation and freezing effects. The flow trim assembly can be quickly and efficiently removed from the throttling valve (and repaired or replaced) without requiring disassembly of the throttling valve from a flow line or other fluid conduit, and without requiring removal of an automated actuator. A throttling valve body that allows direct mounting of actuators to the valve without the need for brackets and linkages.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to locking assembly apparatus and methods for fluid ends, and associated components thereof. In one implementation, a locking assembly for fluid ends includes a first actuator and a second actuator disposed at least partially below the first actuator. The second actuator includes one or more coupling surfaces disposed in coupling engagement with one or more coupling surfaces of the first actuator. The locking assembly also includes a plurality of wedges disposed about the second actuator and movable between an unlocked position and a locked position.

A system and method for monitoring an underground valve is provided. The system includes a valve having an actuator operable to open and close the valve. The system includes a first housing having a recess, the recess being sized to fit at least partially over the actuator. A second housing is removably coupled to the first housing, the second housing having a hollow interior disposed to have an open end enclosed by the first housing, the second housing further having a handle feature opposite the open end. A sensor is disposed in the hollow interior, the sensor generating a first signal in operation in response to a movement of the second housing.

A rising stem valve comprises a hollow valve body having a pair of ports defining a flow path through the valve body, a flange base through which one of the ports extends and a valve bonnet opposite the flange base. The valve includes a plunger/seal assembly able to be extended within the valve body to a first position for sealing the port in the flange base and to a second position for unsealing the port in the flange base. The valve also includes a locking mechanism for securing the plunger/seal assembly in the first position. The locking mechanism includes at least one cam lever attached to the valve body and a corresponding groove in a valve stem of the plunger/seal assembly.

The present techniques relate to a safety device (10) for a tap, particularly a domestic water tap or faucet. The tap has an operating mechanism (46) which is activated by a user to dispense boiling or near boiling water. The safety device (10) comprises at least one grip member (12) for a user to hold when placing the safety device (10) on a tap. The safety device (10) further comprises a housing (14). The housing (14) comprises at least one side wall. When the safety device (10) is mounted on a tap having an operating mechanism, the side wall at least partially surrounds and projects beyond the operating mechanism in a direction which is aligned with a direction of movement of the operating mechanism.

An operating system for switching a coker switch valve to drum A, drum B, and bypass. The system has a shear pin linkage between the actuator and the valve stem and a position indicator independent of the actuator, to maintain functionality in the event of shear pin failure; and/or lockout functionality to prevent an inadvertent switch to bypass when switching between drum A and drum B and to lock down bypass mode to prevent an inadvertent switch from bypass to an open drum.
