A valve for use in oil and gas production or similar applications includes a plug or other flow barrier disposed in a cavity of a hollow valve body with a metal-to-metal sealing surface that is not reliant on any rubberized or elastomeric material to effect a seal.

A water spray gun with flow control comprises a gun body having a water inlet, a water outlet and an accommodating chamber connected therebetween; a water control valve, being pivotably installed in the accommodating chamber and having a receiving recess being received in the accommodating chamber, wherein the receiving recess has its outside formed with an opening and has its bottom provided with a water-filling port; and a sealing block slidably installed in the receiving recess, so that when a pressure of water coming from the water-filling port acts on the sealing block from bottom, the sealing block slides toward the opening. Thereby, water pressure ensures close fit of the sealing block. Even if the sealing block is worn, the water pressure coming from the water-filling port can still push the sealing block outside to keep the water outlet sealed.

A double-piston-effect valve includes two valve seats symmetrically arranged in two valve endcaps at two sides, respectively. A piston ring is arranged on a rear of each of the valve seats, an inner O-ring groove is provided in the piston ring along an inner circumferential direction, an outer O-ring groove is arranged in the piston ring along an outer circumferential direction, an O-ring is fitted in each of the inner O-ring groove and the outer O-ring groove, and two semi-circular notches are symmetrically provided in a protruding portion of the piston ring.

The multi-way valve comprises an upper valve body, a lower valve body and a rotary valve core. A valve seat ring is located in the rotary valve core and comprises a body. A first annular boss is arranged on an outer wall of the body, and a second annular boss is arranged on an inner wall. The upper surfaces of the first annular boss and the second annular boss are respectively flush with the upper surface of the body to form a sealing surface which fits with a sealing surface of the upper valve body in a sealed manner. An annular gap is formed between the lower surface of the first annular boss and the rotary valve core, so that liquid in the chamber and an oil incoming channel respectively acts on the lower surface of the first annular boss or the second annular boss to form a sealing load.

A valve apparatus, in particular a ball valve apparatus, is provided. The apparatus includes a housing device having at least one fluid port, a closure body, wherein the closure body includes an axis of rotation about which the closure body can be rotated in a direction of rotation in order to release and close the fluid port, wherein the fluid port includes a seal for sealing abutment against the closure body. The seal includes a first and a second sealing lip, wherein the sealing lips are configured such that, during operation, only one seal sealingly abuts against the closure body.

A valve for use in oil and gas production or similar applications includes a plug or other flow barrier disposed in a cavity of a hollow valve body with a metal-to-metal scaling surface that is not reliant on any rubberized or elastomeric material to effect a seal.

A double-piston-effect valve includes two valve seats symmetrically arranged in two valve endcaps at two sides, respectively. A piston ring is arranged on a rear of each of the valve seats, an inner O-ring groove is provided in the piston ring along an inner circumferential direction, an outer O-ring groove is arranged in the piston ring along an outer circumferential direction, an O-ring is fitted in each of the inner O-ring groove and the outer O-ring groove, and two semi-circular notches are symmetrically provided in a protruding portion of the piston ring.

A valve comprises a valve housing with a valve chamber having an internal chamber wall. A plurality of ports are opening into the valve chamber and a valve body is movable to optionally seal one ports. An endless resilient sealing member situated in a sealing member groove is sealing between the valve body and the inner chamber wall. The sealing member groove has a cross-section defining a cavity and an opening. The sealing member is situated in the cavity, the opening is more narrow than a cross-sectional dimension of the sealing member, and at least one channel is provided connecting the cavity of the sealing member groove and surroundings of the valve body.

Disclosed are a valve seat ring and a multi-way valve having the valve seat ring. The multi-way valve comprises an upper valve body, a lower valve body and a rotary valve core, wherein the valve seat ring is located in the rotary valve core, the valve seat ring comprises a body, the body is provided with a penetrated through-hole, a first annular boss is arranged on an outer wall of the body, and a second annular boss is arranged on an inner wall; the upper surfaces of the first annular boss and the second annular boss are respectively flush with the upper surface of the body to form a sealing surface which fits with a sealing surface of the upper valve body in a sealed manner; and an annular gap is formed between the lower surface of the first annular boss and the rotary valve core, so that liquid in the chamber and an oil incoming channel respectively acts on the lower surface of the first annular boss or the second annular boss to form a sealing load. A pressure is applied from either the chamber or a metering orifice, a sealing load hydraulically acted on the valve seat ring is formed by the hydraulic acting force of the chamber or the metering orifice, and the hydraulic adaptability for sealing the valve seat ring is realized, thereby meeting the requirement of sealing in the multi-way valve at the leakage level of sealing level VI under a high-pressure difference.

A valve for use in oil and gas production or similar applications may include a ball disposed in a cavity of a hollow valve body and a seat comprising a curved surface with a normal component and a normal surface with a surface area larger than a projected normal surface area of the normal component of the curved surface.
