Cap member for shut-off valve, valve element for shut-off valve, method for manufacturing shut-off valve, and method for replacing valve element of shut-off valve

A cap member is used in a shut-off valve including a valve head in which a through hole is formed, the cap member including: a cap member main body screwed into the through hole; a first engaging portion for engaging with a first tool for screwing the cap member main body into the valve head; a second engaging portion formed inside the cap member main body to engage with a second tool for unscrewing the cap member main body from the valve head; and a wall portion covering the second engaging portion so that the second engaging portion is not exposed when the cap member is viewed from the first engaging portion toward the second engaging portion.

Methods and systems for improving the operation of transmissions for motor vehicles

The “factory installed” pressure regulator valve of an automotive transmission is replaced by a pressure regulator valve having two separate valve components conjointly movable together in a bore. A protrusion or protuberance extending from the center of one end of one of the valve components defines a fulcrum which abuts against an adjacent end of the other valve component as the two valve components move conjointly and in direct contact with each other within the bore during operation of the pressure regulator valve. Preferably, an opening is provided in a land in one of the valve components to vent hydraulic fluid (transmission oil) to prevent a pressure build-up in the bore which might separate the two valve components from each other during reciprocating movement of the valve components in the bore.

ELECTRONIC EXPANSION VALVE

An electronic expansion valve includes the valve needle screw assembly which also includes an outer edge guide section, the electronic expansion valve includes an inner edge guide section matched with the outer edge guide section, in the process of the action of the valve needle of the electronic expansion valve, the outer edge guide section of the valve needle screw assembly is matched with the inner edge guide section of the electronic expansion valve, to provide the guide for the valve needle, relatively reducing the deviation of the valve needle relative to the valve port, thereby reducing the eccentric wear of the valve needle.

NEEDLE TIP AND SEAT FOR A CHOKE VALVE

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a choke valve that includes a choke body, a choke trim disposed in the choke body, where the choke trim is configured to adjust a cross-sectional area of a flow path in the choke body to adjust a fluid flow through the choke valve, a needle of the choke trim disposed in the flow path of the fluid flow, where the needle includes a first portion having a superhard material, a seat of the choke trim, where the needle is configured to move along an axis extending through an opening of the seat to adjust the fluid flow through the choke valve.

FAUCET WITH INTEGRATED PUSH-TO-CONNECT FITTING
20210041048 · 2021-02-11 · ·

A valve assembly includes a body and a push-to-connect fitting. The body includes an end segment that defines a fluid outlet and a connector portion. The connector portion includes an inner peripheral wall and an outer peripheral wall. The inner peripheral wall has a first exterior surface, and includes a first portion and a second portion. The first exterior surface has a first outer diameter in the first portion and a second outer diameter in the second portion that is greater than the first outer diameter such that a stepped profile is formed along the first exterior surface. The inner peripheral wall defines a fluid inlet. The outer peripheral wall extends from the inner peripheral wall and at least partly around the fluid inlet. The outer peripheral wall has a second exterior surface with a third outer diameter that is greater than the second outer diameter.

Mechanical fastening method for valve plug with carbide tip

A valve plug assembly includes a plug base, a first end of the base arranged for attachment to a valve stem, a second end of the plug base including a bore having a first portion and a second portion. The second portion of the bore is a conical terminus forming a first seat. A spacer has a through bore, a first end, and a second end, and is sized for insertion in the bore of the plug base and has a conical shape to engage the first seat, and the spacer also forms a second seat. A plug tip has a through bore and a conical end engaging the second seat and is arranged to engage the valve seat, and a cap screw extends through the plug tip and the spacer to mechanically secure the plug tip to the plug base.

Control valve

The invention relates to a control valve for adjusting a process fluid flow of a process plant, comprising a valve housing (4) with a valve seat (10) and a valve piston (12) connected to a valve rod (14), which valve piston (12) interacts with the valve seat (10) for opening and closing the control valve (2). The invention is characterized in that, for connecting the valve rod (14) to the valve piston (12), a flange (22) is mounted on the valve rod (14), which flange (22) is screwed to the valve piston (12) via plural threaded connecting elements (34; 48).

Valve stem for choke valve

A valve stem includes a valve stem body connected to a valve stem head. The valve stem is for use with a choke valve. The valve stem body has first and second ends with an expandable valve stem tip extending from the second end of the valve stem body. The valve stem tip expands radially outwardly in an opening in the valve stem head to secure the valve stem head to the valve stem body.

POPPET VALVE WITH SIMULTANEOUSLY CONTACTING VALVE MEMBERS
20210207716 · 2021-07-08 ·

A poppet assembly for a valve can include a valve stem for cooperating with a valve actuator, a first valve member coupled to the valve stem in a fixed position and configured to sealingly engage a first orifice and a second valve member coupled to the valve stem and configured to sealingly engage a second orifice. The second valve member can include a coupler for coupling the second valve member to the valve stem and a seal configured to couple to the coupler and the valve stem. The second valve member can be configured for achieving proper spacing between the valve members for simultaneous contact with their respective orifices without the need for more costly and time consuming components or assembly methods.
