A butterfly valve which may enhance corrosion resistance or acid resistance with keeping its strength, have light weight and realize mass production, and method of manufacturing the same. are disclosed. The butterfly valve comprises a body in which an inserting space is formed and a disk inserted into the inserting space of the body, wherein fluid flow is opened or closed in response to rotation of the disk. Here, the disk includes a disk body formed of a metal, and at least one plastic layer formed on the disk body.

A method is provided of custom manufacturing a valve body having an initial valve body configuration having a first end connection and a second end connection. The method includes adding material to the first end connection using a first additive manufacturing process to create at least a portion of a custom first end connection configuration, and the custom first end connection configuration is different than an initial first end connection configuration. The method further includes adding material to the second end connection using a second additive manufacturing process to create at least a portion of a custom second end connection configuration, and the custom second end connection configuration is different than an initial second end connection configuration.

Bonnet and valve trim assembly and related methods are described. An example bonnet and valve trim assembly includes a bonnet structured to couple to a valve body via a valve body mounting flange, the bonnet including a cage mounting interface. A cage defining a body has a bonnet mounting interface to couple to the cage mounting interface of the bonnet. A retainer retains the cage mounting interface and the bonnet mounting interface to couple the cage and the bonnet. The retainer to enable axial movement between the cage and the bonnet when the retainer is coupled to the cage and the bonnet.

A valve in which the flow control element includes a fixed disk and a rotatable disk, and a motor operable to rotate the rotatable disk. The motor is disposed in the bore of the valve, aligned with the long axis of the valve body and the axis of rotation of the rotatable disk.

A transcatheter valve having an expandable frame and a collapsible multi-portion skirt within the frame are provided with seams between the portions of the skirt that are located to cooperate with features of the frame and thereby reduce the exposure of the seams.

A method that includes heating a bar having an outer diameter and a length to a first temperature for a first time; extruding the heated bar to form a hollow blank having a wall thickness; forming a semi-finished blank by closing one end; bending the semi-finished blank to have an angle between first and second parts of the semi-finished blank; placing the bent semi-finished blank in a die, which is heated to a second temperature; forming a shell by injecting a gas onto or into the bent semi-finished blank after closing the die through a gas inlet in the die at a pressure for a second time, which causes the bent semi-finished blank to fit a cavity of the bathroom hardware shell shaping die; removing the shell from the die and forming a water faucet hole therein; and plating an outer surface of the shell with a coating.

A hollow valve having optimized interior stem geometry, whose valve stem has surface-enlarging structuring on an inner surface is provided. Also provided is a method for manufacturing a valve body of such a hollow valve, wherein the method comprises: providing a bowl-shaped semi-finished product having an annular wall that surrounds a cavity, and having a base section, followed by lengthening the wall with an inserted, structured mandrel, and lastly, reducing an outer diameter of the annular wall without a mandrel to obtain a predetermined valve stem outer diameter of a valve to be manufactured.

Provided is an electric valve and a manufacturing method thereof. The electric valve includes a valve body member, a valve seat member, a transmission member, a valve core member and a nut. The valve core member includes an upper tubular body including a first cavity, a valve core body and a connecting member. The valve core body is roughly in a round tubular shape and includes an annular thin wall portion and a second cavity. The connecting member includes a first axial through hole, and the upper end portion of the connecting member includes a lower stop portion. The annular thin wall portion is capable of abutting against a sealing portion of the valve seat member. A lower end portion of the nut is engageable with the lower stop portion to limit downward movement of the nut.

A body covering a disk in a butterfly valve comprises: an upper body; and a lower body, wherein an inserting space is formed by combining the upper body with the lower body, the disk is inserted into the inserting space, and at least one of the upper body and the lower body includes a framework formed of a metal and a plastic layer formed on the framework.

For the purpose of redundancy, ports are provided for a separate power brake pressure unit on a hydraulic block of a hydraulic unit of a slip control system of a hydraulic vehicle power braking system. The ports are attached as cylindrical collars to the hydraulic block by friction welding.
