A valve (10) for selectively opening and closing a flow passageway (12) includes (i) a valve body (14) that defines a body passageway (16); (ii) a first valve surface (18) that defines a first valve opening (18A); (iii) an expandable barrier (22); and (iv) an actuation system (24). The expandable barrier (22) is movable in the body passageway (16) between an open configuration (30) in which the barrier (22) is retracted and does not engage the first valve surface (18); and a closed configuration (28) in which the barrier (22) is expanded, engages the first valve surface (18), and blocks the first valve opening (18A). The actuation system (24) selectively moves the barrier (22) between the configurations (28) (30).

A seal with a wedging element for adjustably compressing the seal. The seal abuts a surface, such as a gate of a gate valve, to seal against the surface with a sealing force that prevents fluid flow therebetween. The sealing force of the seal may be increasing or decreasing compression by adjusting the wedging mechanism. For example, as the seal wears away due to friction between the seal and a sliding gate, the compression may be increased in the wedging mechanism to increase the sealing force to a low threshold.

This disclosure relates to a shut-off valve, in particular a pipe-bridge slide valve, for a coking drum for the production of coke, having at least one pipe socket which has a first end for connection to the coking drum and a second end on which a slider is arranged for opening and closing the coking drum, wherein the pipe socket has a supply connection for filling the coking drum with a medium and a diaphragm which is arranged between the supply connection and the first end of the pipe socket and can be moved into a filling position and into an emptying position, wherein, in the filling position, a diaphragm opening is arranged in the region of the central longitudinal axis of the pipe socket for introducing the medium centrally into the coking drum, and, in the emptying position, the diaphragm opening has a larger passage area than in the filling position.

A ring base member of a disc seat ring is fixed to a valve disc using a bolt. The valve disc is formed of a first austenitic stainless steel containing 17.0% by mass to 21.0% by mass of Cr and 8.0% by mass to 13.0% by mass of Ni. The ring base member is formed of a second austenitic stainless steel containing 17.0% by mass to 20.0% by mass of Cr and 8.0% by mass to 15.0% by mass of Ni.
