An electric valve, comprising a stator assembly, a valve component, a valve body, a first sealing member and a sleeve; the stator assembly is located at the periphery of the sleeve and is limitingly connected to the valve body; the stator assembly is provided with a first recessed part, which is located between the valve component and the stator assembly; at least part of the opening of the first recessed part faces toward the valve body, and the first sealing member is located in the recessed part.

Provided is a valve with which a seal member is not damaged when pressure accumulated near the seal member is released. This valve includes a valve box having a valve chamber, a valve seat provided in the valve chamber and having a seat surface, a stem including, at a tip end thereof, a valve element configured to abut against and move away from the seat surface due to an operation of an actuator, a seal space provided with a seal member configured to prevent a fluid from leaking, a seal opening space formed outside the seal space, and a seal pressing member configured to press and fix the seal member to a valve chamber side. The valve box is formed with a leak hole through which the seal space and the outside of the valve box communicate.

A pressure-tight stein cylinder seal and a self-energizing stein shoulder seal matching the stein cylinder seal that both use an equilaterally triangular soft ring as their sealing element, wherein their designing rules are first, by means of wedging function of a hard gland coaxial with the stein cylinder, to convert their original axial tightening force 2f respectively into a radial compression force 4f/√3 of their soft ring 04 on the stein 02 cylinder and another radial compression force 2f of their soft ring 06 on the stein 02 shoulder and ensure that the two soft rings are so compressed from a great room to a small room as to be able to pass a pressure or stress exactly to each different direction, then to cut off their off-stein corners to give their cavities an opening or give each soft ring an axial compressing allowance, and last, by means of anti-extrusion metallic C-rings without axial resistance, to close each opening to provide a full support for the sealing deformation of their soft rings compressed in their cavities.

A cryogenic cylinder control system for regulating fluid within a cryogenic cylinder is disclosed. The system includes a pressure relief and vent module fluidly connectable to a head space above liquid within the cryogenic cylinder, a manual valve module fluidly connectable to the liquid within the cryogenic cylinder and to an external device, a solenoid valve module fluidly connectable to the manual valve module and to the head space within the cryogenic cylinder, a build-up coil fluidly connectable to the manual valve module and to the solenoid valve module, and a controller operatively connected to the solenoid valve module to control fluid flow through the solenoid valve module.

In accordance with the resent invention, there is provided a fugitive emission detection system for use in conjunction with a valve having a packing deign which includes a primary packing and a secondary packing. The valve further includes a leak port which is disposed within the valve bonnet between the primary and secondary packings. The detection system is operative to maintain the leak port in a normally open state. As a result, any fluid leakage past the primary packing is normally sent to the detection system, as opposed to being applied to and thus pressurizing the secondary packing. In the event of that a prescribed level of fluid leakage beyond the primary packing is detected, the leak port will be closed. The closure of the leak port facilitates the pressurization of the secondary packing.

A valve device includes: a housing; a valve element; a rotatable shaft that rotates the valve element; a seal member that is slidably in close contact with an outer peripheral surface of the rotatable shaft to limit penetration of gas through a gap between the rotatable shaft and the housing; and a mounting ring that is shaped in a ring form and mounts the seal member to the housing. The mounting ring has: a ring portion, a one-side plate portion and an opposite-side plate portion which are formed from a single continuous plate material. The one-side plate portion and the opposite-side plate portion clamp the seal member therebetween and are joined together through the ring portion.

A valve upper part, in particular for sanitary fittings, includes a sleeve-type head piece, which can be fastened in a valve housing of a fitting and through the center of which a spindle extends, which has a handle connection and is mounted for rotation about the longitudinal axis of the spindle and by which a valve body can be actuated, a groove being formed in the spindle, which groove receives an elastic sliding bush, which radially surrounds at least some regions of the spindle and which lies against at least some regions of the inner lateral surface of the head piece.

A seal assembly for a valve stem comprises an external seal placed on a valve stem facing an external environment; an internal seal placed on the valve stem facing a process environment; the external and internal seals define a chamber for the containment of barrier fluid; the chamber has an inlet configured to be placed into fluid communication with a source of barrier fluid; a detector of the amount of barrier fluid; a pressurizer device for providing the chamber with a positive pressure with respect to the process environment; the pressurizer device is configured to be installed coaxially with the valve stem.

A method for making a valve stem seal, comprising the steps of providing a metal retainer having a top portion and a body portion. The body portion having a first section and a second section. In a first state, the first section of the body portion is cylindrical and the second section of the body portion is cone shaped. Providing a hollow mold. Inserting the metal retainer into the outer mold piece, inserting the inner mold piece into the metal retainer, and then securing the inner and outer mold pieces to each other. Filling a cavity around the top portion of the metal retainer with an elastomeric compound. Removing the metal retainer and the formed rubber sealing element from the mold pieces, and pressing downward over the formed valve stem seal to compress the second section of the body portion radially inwardly.
