A device and method for dispensing a flowable medium has a housing with an interior space and a rod mounted in the housing that is movable between a first end position and a second end position and passes through a diaphragm mounted in a sealed manner in the housing radially on the outside and in the rod radially on the inside. The diaphragm divides the interior space into a first cavity and a second cavity separated from the first cavity in a fluid tight manner. The flowable medium can flow through at least one channel that opens into the first cavity, and is dispensed through a dispensing opening. A sealing section of the rod closes the dispensing opening in the first end position and is at a distance from the dispensing opening in the second end position. A pressure medium acts on the diaphragm in the second cavity.

A method and apparatus for a manual gas valve. The manual gas valve may include at least one internal spring and a valve plug. The internal spring may be independent from an external spring and a valve stem. The internal spring may be positioned in a constant installed height. The internal spring includes a constant spring force applied to the valve plug. The one or more manual gas valves may be used in a variety of applications.

A valve trim that is configured to abate noise in a control valve. These configurations may include a cage with a flow path that has a spiral design or layout. This flow path can direct flow around a central bore. A plug may reside in this bore. This plug can travel longitudinally to change parameters of flow through the control valve. In one implementation, the spiral design can split flow inside of the cage. This feature can elongate travel of flow without any increase in dimensions of the cage (or the valve trim itself).

A valve device capable of reducing pressure loss is provided. The valve device is provided with a valve main body having a valve chamber in which a valve body is arranged, inflow outlets, and communication holes communicating the valve chamber and the inflow outlets, and a rectification member arranged in the communication hole. The communication hole has a bent portion where the center line of the communication hole is bent, and the rectification member is arranged in the bent portion and has a corner portion formed by an inner circumferential surface bent or curved at an angle larger than the angle of the bent portion.

A valve trim for use in a fluid flow control device. The valve trim includes a cage body defined by an outer cage wall and an inner cage wall coupled to the outer cage wall, the outer cage wall spaced radially outward of the inner cage wall. The valve trim also includes a plurality of first flow characterizing passages formed in the outer cage wall, and a plurality of second flow characterizing passages formed in the inner cage wall. The cage body is at least partially made of an erosion-resistant material.

A choke valve comprising: a body having an axial through hole and a radial entry port; a valve seat coaxially housed in the body axial through hole on a first side of the radial entry port; a pressure balanced valving member axially reciprocable within the body axial through hole between a first sealing position bearing against the valve seat and a second position spaced away from the seat; an actuator housing operably connected to the valving member; and a detachably connected reinforcement member detachably connected to the actuator housing and increasing the axial load that the actuator housing can take before failure of the actuator housing.
