An eccentric butterfly valve includes a valve body formed therein with an internal flow passage extending in a direction of the flow passage axis, a valve member supported by the valve body through valve stems to be rotatable about a rotation axis perpendicular to the flow passage axis, and a seat ring attached to an inner periphery of the internal flow passage. The valve stems include a first valve stem and a second valve stem. The valve body is formed therein with a stem through-hole through which the first valve stem is inserted and a stem bottomed-hole supporting the second valve stem. The valve member is provided with a fitting hole and an engagement groove. A fitting portion provided at the first valve stem is fitted into the fitting hole and an engagement portion provided at the second valve stem is inserted into the engagement groove.

An eccentric butterfly valve includes a valve body formed therein with an internal flow passage extending in a direction of the flow passage axis, a disk-shaped valve member disposed in the internal flow passage and supported by the valve body through valve stems to be rotatable about a rotation axis R, and an annular valve seat portion provided on an inner periphery of the internal flow passage, and the internal flow passage is opened and closed by rotating the valve stem to bring a sealing surface of an outer peripheral edge portion of the valve member into and out of contact with the valve seat portion. The valve member is further provided in one of the principal surfaces with a groove portion extending in a direction across the rotation axis R, and both side walls of the groove portion are formed as convex curved surfaces extending in a convex shape.

A water control device that can be introduced into the main water supply line for a structure configured for automatic direct water allocation has a manifold with an inlet port and an outlet port in fluid communication with one another and a quarter turn valve disposed between the inlet and outlet ports and in fluid communication therewith. The quarter turn valve has a truncated conical shaped valve body that fits within a well in the manifold, the valve body having spaced apart solid side walls which define openings within opposite side walls, such that rotation of the valve body by a quarter turn will align either an opening or a solid side wall with the inlet and outlets ports for the well, thus alternately permitting or disrupting the flow of water through the valve. The valve body further includes a plurality of spaced apart cam projections on a bottom surface thereof, the cam projections cooperating with a plurality of spaced apart cam projections disposed on a bottom surface of the well such that the valve body undergoes vertical displacement as it rotates.

A butterfly valve includes a valve body with an internal flow passage extending in a direction of a flow passage axis, a disk-shaped valve member supported in the internal flow passage rotatably about a rotation axis perpendicular to the flow passage axis and having a spherical valve seat surface in an outer peripheral portion, an annular recessed portion surrounding the internal flow passage on the side surface of the valve body in a direction of the flow passage axis, and a seat ring attached to the annular recessed portion such that a valve seat portion provided in an inner peripheral edge portion thereof projects into the inner flow passage. The valve seat portion has a triangular cross section and is formed such that a bisector of a vertex angle in the triangular cross section of valve seat portion is perpendicular to a tangential line to the valve seat surface.

A valve includes a valve body, a valve rod, a valve seat, and a valve core assembly. The valve core assembly is mounted inside the valve body and includes a valve core. The valve core is articulated to the valve body, and the valve core assembly further includes a drive member, a positioning member, and a flexible member. The positioning member is mounted on the valve core such that it may move relative to same. The flexible member is mounted between the positioning member and the valve core; thus the drive member has a separable fitting relationship with the positioning member.

A production method is a method for producing trichlorosilane, the method including opening and closing, with use of a non-sliding valve (b1 to b4), an entry channel (f1), an exit channel (f2), a discharge channel (f31), and a discharge channel (f32) through each of which metallurgical grade silicon powder flows in a system for producing the trichlorosilane, the non-sliding valve including a valve body capable of being rotated without coming into contact with a valve seat.

A gas valve includes a valve seat, a valve stem, a valve body, and a valve diaphragm. The valve body acts together with the valve seat in such a way that the gas valve is in a closed state when the valve body is pressed against the valve seat and the gas valve is in an opened state when the valve body is lifted up from the valve seat. In a partially opened state, a connection between the valve stem and the valve body allows the valve body to tilt relative to the valve stem. The tilt may help provide more stable contact between the valve body and the valve seat when the gas valve is in the partially opened state. This can reduce wear on the gas valve by reducing, for example, valve body bounce.

An exhaust pipe system for conducting exhaust gas from a combustion device to an exhaust system includes a first exhaust pipe with an inlet end and an outlet end, and a second exhaust pipe having a first line end and a second line end, wherein the inlet end of the first exhaust pipe is connectable to the first line end of the second exhaust pipe via a detachable coupling connection. A locking member is arranged to be movable between a closed position closing a passage and an open position opening the passage inside the first exhaust pipe. When the coupling connection is released, the locking member is automatically arranged in the closed position, and the second exhaust pipe has an actuating member which, when the coupling connection is established, urges the locking member into the open position.
