Provided is an electrically surface-controlled subsurface safety valve (ESCSSV). The ESCSSV, in one example, includes an outer housing comprising a central bore extending axially through the housing that is configured to convey production fluids there through. The ESCSSV, in this embodiment, further includes a valve closure mechanism disposed proximate a downhole end of the central bore, and a bore flow management actuator disposed in the central bore and configured to move between a closed state and a flow state to engage or disengage the valve closure mechanism to determine a flow condition of the production fluids through the central bore. The ESCSSV, in this embodiment, additionally includes an electric valve assembly fluidically coupled to the bore flow management actuator and configured to select between a section pressure or the annulus pressure to control the bore flow management actuator and determine the flow condition of production fluids through the central bore.

An attenuator dome for a ball valve includes a body defining an upstream surface and a downstream surface. The body has first and second attenuation sections. The first attenuation section has a single stage with a first plurality of passages extending from the upstream surface to the downstream surface. The second attenuation section has a first stage with a second plurality of passages extending from the upstream surface to a first plenum formed inside the body and a second stage with a third plurality of passages extending from the first plenum to the downstream surface. The single stage of the first attenuation section has first flow area percentage, the first stage of the second attenuation section has a second flow area percentage less than the first flow area percentage, and the second stage has a third flow area percentage greater than the second flow area percentage.

A throttle valve is provided. The throttle valve includes a throttle valve body, a valve plug, a hollow seal and a first scraper. A flow path is formed in the throttle valve body. The valve plug is disposed in the throttle valve body. A notch is formed on the valve plug. By rotating the valve plug, the position of the notch is changed, and the degree of opening of the flow path is modified. The hollow seal is disposed in the throttle valve body. An abutting portion is formed on the hollow seal, and the abutting portion sealably abuts the valve plug. The first scraper is disposed on the valve plug. When the valve plug is rotated, the first scraper abuts the abutting portion to clean the abutting portion.

Provided is a flow rate adjustment device including: a diaphragm integrated valve body; a valve seat section provided around an inflow opening and including a valve seat surface disposed at a position facing a valve surface; and a transfer mechanism configured to cause the diaphragm integrated valve body to move along an axis line to adjust a distance between the valve surface and the valve seat surface. The valve surface 11a and the valve seat surface form an angle, which is an acute angle, with the axis line and are disposed in parallel.

A plug for use in a plug valve includes an attachable upper trunnion that is assembled to the main plug body using fasteners and a male-female dovetail fit. The tensile and compressive loading experienced by the main plug body during its linear motion, and the torsional loading experienced during its 90° rotation, is supported by the fasteners and the dovetail fit.

A valve handle for manually-operated quarter-turn valves, such as plug valves and ball valves, has two members which are hingedly attached, allowing an outwardly extending portion of the valve handle to be folded downwardly and against the valve body when the valve is in the closed position. A locking mechanism on the valve handle locks the handle in an operational position. When the lock is deactivated, the outwardly extending portion may be folded downwardly. The locking mechanism may have a clip portion which engages a stop on the valve body, which prevents the inadvertent opening of the valve when the outwardly extending portion is folded downwardly.

A motorized valve includes a body with at least one intake duct and one outlet duct, a plugging member movably mounted in the body to plug or release a passage between the intake duct and the outlet duct, and a motorized control system for controlling the movement of the plugging member. The motorized control system also includes a plug valve connecting intake and outlet ducts, a gear motor including an electric motor and a reduction gear train. The gear train includes an exit wheel rotating the plug of the valve so as to allow progressive opening of the valve, and the gear motor is formed by a casing including the electric motor and reduction gear train, the valve body being integrally formed with the casing.
