A valve assembly adapted for use in oil and gas operations. In one aspect, the valve assembly includes a valve body defining an internal region, an inlet passageway, and an outlet passageway, the inlet and outlet passageways extending into the internal region; a valve seat connected to the valve body and defining a fluid passageway; a clapper extending within the internal region and defining an annular groove; and a seal extending within the annular groove of the clapper and adapted to sealingly engage the valve seat. In an example embodiment, the clapper is actuable between an open configuration, in which fluid flow is permitted through the fluid passageway; and a closed configuration, in which the seal sealingly engages the valve seat to at least partially restrict fluid flow through the fluid passageway.

A fuel tank check valve, which can prevent one portion of a coil portion of a torsion coil spring from being stuck on a stepped portion of a pivot includes a cylindrical member defining a flow channel for a fuel fluid; a flap axially supported on the cylindrical member through a pivot; and a torsion coil spring urging the flap in a closing direction. The pivot includes a large diameter portion around which a coil portion of the torsion coil spring is wound; and a first small diameter portion and a second small diameter portion coaxial with each other, and projecting into a shaft hole provided in either one of the cylindrical member or the flap. The first small diameter portion adjacent to the large diameter portion is off-centered to a side where the torsion coil spring presses against the pivot relative to the large diameter portion.

The present invention relates to a prevention device for loss of coolant accident (LOCA) and a nuclear reactor having the same. The prevention device for LOCA includes a nozzle portion integrally formed in a reactor vessel and having a communication hole communicating with the inside of the reactor vessel, a nozzle finishing portion assembled to the nozzle portion and an injection line for injecting a fluid to the inside of the reactor vessel respectively on both sides thereof in a communicating manner, and a check valve mounting portion installed to be embedded inside the nozzle portion and having at least one check valve opened by flow such that the fluid is injected into the reactor vessel, wherein the check valve blocks outflow of a reactor coolant from the reactor vessel in case of failure of the injection line.

An air control valve for a fuel cell vehicle includes: a valve housing having a first port and a second port; a first rotary shaft rotatably mounted in the valve housing and configured to be rotated by a driving source; a first valve member connected to the first rotary shaft and configured to selectively open or close the first port by rotating about the first rotary shaft; a second rotary shaft mounted in the valve housing so as to be rotatable relative to the first rotary shaft; a second valve member connected to the second rotary shaft and configured to selectively open or close the second port by rotating about the second rotary shaft; and a spring member connected, at one end thereof, to the first rotary shaft and connected, at the other end thereof, to the second rotary shaft, thereby improving stability and reliability.

A valve assembly adapted for use in oil and gas operations. In one aspect, the valve assembly includes a valve body defining an internal region, an inlet passageway, and an outlet passageway, the inlet and outlet passageways extending into the internal region; a valve seat connected to the valve body and defining a fluid passageway; a clapper extending within the internal region and defining an annular groove; and a seal extending within the annular groove of the clapper and adapted to sealingly engage the valve seat. In an example embodiment, the clapper is actuable between an open configuration, in which fluid flow is permitted through the fluid passageway; and a closed configuration, in which the seal sealingly engages the valve seat to at least partially restrict fluid flow through the fluid passageway.

A valve device (20) includes male and female housings (22, 24) that together define a fluid through-passage (28). The male and female housings have, respectively, exterior and interior annular channels (22a, 24a). The male housing is receivable into the female housing such that the exterior and interior annular channels together define a toroidal tube. First and second valve elements (30,32) are disposed, respectively, in the male and female housings. Ball locks (36) are receivable into the toroidal tube and axially lock the male and female housings together. A lock (40) engageable when the first and second valve elements are in functional alignment and which when engaged rotationally locks the male and female housings.

A check valve assembly includes a body, a valve assembly configured to engage a port of the check valve assembly, and a handle integrally formed with the body and extending from a substantially cylindrical exterior surface thereof. The handle includes a first vertical support member having a first interior surface, a second vertical support member having a second interior surface, and a horizontal support member that has a third interior surface and extends between the first and second vertical support members. The first, second, and third internal surfaces, and the exterior surface of the body member, define a handle aperture. The first and second interior surfaces of the handle aperture are configured to accommodate first and second bolts of a pipe flange fitting extending through the handle aperture.

A check valve for a pump delivery port includes a body having inlet and outlet portions joined by a duct and an opening; a curve having an inlet end to be connected to the delivery port and an outlet end to be connected to the body; and a valve member having a disk-shaped locking portion sealingly interacting with an edge of the curve and a locking portion secured in a seat by a lid of the opening. The valve member moves between open and closed positions and has a metal core made while the locking portion is metal-free. The lid cooperates with the locking portion through a protrusion or a cavity and pushes the valve member toward the curve to the closed position and allows the valve member to deflect to the open position under pressure of a working fluid in equilibrium with the weight of the blocking portion.

A check cover assembly for a backflow prevention (BFP) assembly including a dome-shaped base with an upstanding shroud, wherein the shroud forms an inner area configured to receive a test cock to support and protect the test cock. The shroud forms a gap for accessing the test cock to selectively open and close the test cock while installed in the inner area. The base forms a passageway from the inner area into the BFP assembly configured so that when the test cock is open, a pressure reading of a pressure zone in the BFP assembly can be taken via the test cock. A retention fork is in a slit formed in the shroud so that the test cock is captured in the inner area but the test cock can be removed from and inserted into the inner area without rotation when the retention fork is removed from the slit.
