A valve seat with a seal is positioned around a valve element. The valve seat is configured to self-adjust its inner radial diameter to correspond to the outer radial diameter of the valve element to maintain a portion of an inner seat surface in contact with an outer valve surface of the valve element through the range of positions.

The present invention discloses a butterfly valve including: a valve body, an inner valve seat, a valve core, a valve stem and at least one positioning ring. The valve body has an inlet end, an outlet end, and an axial passage communicating with the inlet end and the outlet end. A valve stem mounting hole is provided between the inlet end and the outlet end in the valve body. The valve body further is provided with a valve seat mounting portion in the axial passage at a position corresponding to the valve stem mounting hole. The inner valve seat is fixedly mounted to the valve seat mounting portion, which is cylindrical and is provided with radial through hole in the side wall corresponding to the valve stem. the valve core is plate-shaped and mounted in the inner valve seat, a radial through hole is provided therein. The valve stem passes through the valve stem mounting hole, the radial through hole of the inner valve seat and the radial through hole of the valve core. The positioning ring is mounted in the valve body at an axial side of the inner valve seat and form a hermetic connection with the inner valve seat. The butterfly valve of this invention has good tightness

A high-pressure self-sealing butterfly valve, which comprises a valve body and a valve shaft, wherein a flow channel and a butterfly plate are arranged in the valve body, a pure metal sealing ring and a pure metal valve seat are sequentially arranged at a portion, on the outer side of the butterfly plate, of the flow channel, a piston cavity is further formed in a flow direction end face of the pure metal valve seat, and an upper valve shaft and a lower valve shaft are arranged at the upper end and the lower end of the valve shaft respectively; an upper end cover assembly and an upper self-sealing assembly are arranged between the end part of the upper valve shaft and the valve body, a lower sealing bottom cover and a lower self-sealing assembly are arranged between the end part of the lower valve shaft and the valve body.

A valve seat includes a first end; a second end positioned opposite from the first end; and a body extending from the first end to the second end, the body defining an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface defining a main bore extending through the body from the first end to the second end, the main bore defining a main bore axis, the body defining a shaft bore extending from the inner surface to the outer surface, the shaft bore defining a shaft bore axis positioned perpendicular to the main bore axis, the shaft bore defining an inner shaft opening and an outer shaft opening, the body defining a concave seat bearing surface extending around the inner shaft opening.

A method of manufacturing a valve with a corrosion-resistant barrier includes providing a valve body defining a first end, a second end, and a body bore extending from the first end to the second end, the valve body further defining a channel co-annular with the body bore, the channel comprising an outer edge defining a seat retention groove; and thermal spraying a corrosion-resistant barrier over the seat retention groove, the corrosion-resistant barrier defining a first edge and a second edge, the first edge oriented between the seat retention groove and the first end of the valve body, and the second edge oriented between the seat retention groove and the second end of the valve body.

A metal sealing system for a triple eccentricity butterfly valve includes a dynamic metal seal, having a metal core surrounded by an external coating; a metal case with an external surface that has an inclined conical shape, including a first housing inside which the dynamic metal seal is mounted; a metal cover fixed to the metal case to allow it to close by flush fitting of the upper or lower faces of the metal cover and the metal case, the metal case having a second housing into which the metal cover fits, the dynamic metal seal being located between the metal cover and the surface of the metal case defining the first housing.

A damper assembly is configured for placement within a duct of a ductwork system that supplies conditioned air through a register boot to a register vent. The damper assembly includes a damper that is configured to articulate from a deployment configuration, which facilitates advancement of the damper through the register boot and into the duct, to an operational configuration, in which the damper is positioned within the duct and able to selectively control how much conditioned air being supplied through the duct is permitted to pass by the damper and exit the register vent. The damper assembly includes an elongated deployment member that extends from the damper and is configured to facilitate advancement of the damper through the register boot and into the duct.
