SELECTABLE FLUID COUPLER
A rotary valve may be operated by automated means and permits aseptic coupling of a source fluid conduit to any of a few or many possible outlet conduits. The valve assembly may be provided with numerous connectors for output coupling but it is not necessary to connect tubing to all of them.
Hybrid high integrity pressure protection systems and valves
This invention relates to a Hybrid High Integrity Pressure Protection System (H-HIPPS) for severe services, the hybrid system includes a quick isolation subsystem between an overpressure zone and a normal pressure zone and a quick releasing subsystem between the overpressure zone and a lower pressure zone with quadruple redundancies for 30 year service without repair more particularly, the hybrid system has a novel valve and a novel pilot each with two independent plugs with metal to metal seal—(buckling seal) B ring assemblies and a novel (attachable)) A seal ring assembly to block or release over pressurize fluids without actuators for protecting the pipelines or the pressures vessels from surge pressure at the highest level of a system reliability with a fast block off time, redundant sensing valves, redundant releasing methods, redundant pressure protections, and cavitations and erosion suppressor.
BACK-PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE
A back-pressure control valve includes a main body having an inner space, a valve element that is arranged in the inner space of the main body and has an opposing surface opposite to one surface of the inner space, a driver that moves the valve element such that a distance between the opposing surface of the valve element and the one surface in the inner space changes; and a resin coating formed on one of the one surface in the inner space and the opposing surface of the valve element, wherein the main body has a first flow path that guides a fluid to a pressure control space formed between another surface out of the one surface and the opposing surface of the valve element, and the resin coating, and a second flow path that discharges a fluid from the pressure control space.
Valve trim apparatus for use with valves
Methods, apparatus, and systems for valve trim apparatus for use with control valves are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a valve body including a fluid flow path between an inlet and an outlet. The example apparatus also includes valve trim positioned in the fluid flow path, the valve trim including a first passageway extending from the inlet to the outlet, the first passageway including a first pressure staged passage and a second pressure staged passage, the second pressure staged passage including a first radial passageway.
PROTECTING VALVE PARTS FROM EROSION
A coating that is configured for use on parts of a control valve. The configurations may incorporate various material layers, preferably that form a layered structure on a base or substrate (for example, an Inconel body). In one implementation, the layered structure can be arranged as “stacked” individual layers that exhibit different concentrations or ratios of materials, including by example tungsten carbide and nickel alloy. The concentration of tungsten carbide may increase from an innermost layer to an outer most layer. This feature can extend service life of the parts, particularly when in use with highly-erosive process fluids, like particle-entrained fluids commonly found in hydrocracking or refining operations. Manufacture of the layered structure on the parts may require use of additive manufacturing technology in order to deposit layers of material of varying composition and thickness on the unique fluted design contemplated herein.

Jet valve
A jet valve has a medium passage that leads to a discharge opening and that is closable by a sealing element that can be set against a seal seat. The seal seat has a sealing surface in the form of an annular strip. The jet valve has a high service life and is suitable for metering very small quantities.
VALVE WITH EROSION RESISTANT FLOW TRIM
A valve assembly can include a housing having multiple longitudinally spaced apart ports, a sleeve longitudinally displaceable in the housing, and at least one deflector ring configured to block flow through an annular space formed between the housing and an outer surface of the sleeve. The deflector ring is positioned longitudinally between an adjacent pair of the ports. Another valve assembly can include a housing having a port, a sleeve longitudinally displaceable in the housing, and a nozzle having an orifice in communication with the port. The nozzle is secured to the housing.
