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.

An electric valve can be further miniaturized while reducing the number of manufacturing man-hours. The electric valve contains: a motor including a stator member and a rotor member that displace a valve body, and a housing for accommodating the motor. The housing is formed by joining a heat generation portion formed of a first material to a heat receiving portion formed of a second material. The light transmittance in the first material is lower than the light transmittance in the second material.

This manufacturing method for a fluid control apparatus, in which the flow of a fluid is controlled by bringing a diaphragm valve element into contact with or separating the same from a valve seat, is characterized in that: the diaphragm valve element is a joint body of a seat member making contact with the valve seat and a body member; the joint body is formed by cutting a material joint body obtained by depositing a seat member material which is a material for the seat member and a body member material which is a material for the body member, and the deposition is performed over a wider range than a contact surface between the seat member and the body member of the joint body, on the contact surface between the seat member material and the body member material of the material joint body.

A valve assembly includes a cartridge configured to be removably coupled to a valve body. The cartridge includes a hub. The valve assembly further includes a sleeve encapsulating at least a portion of the hub and having an internal sleeve surface defining an interior cavity.

A mounting element, i.e., a retaining element or clip, for mounting a terminal element at a component housing of a component body by extrusion-coating the component body at least in part with a coating material, which is designed (i) for holding and positioning a terminal element at a component housing of a component body while the component body is being extrusion-coated with a coating material, and (ii) for accommodating at least in part in the interior of a molding tool during the coating, (iii) which includes at least two support elements, and (iv) in which the at least two support elements are designed so that they are supported at an inner surface of the molding tool when the mounting element is held at the component housing of the component body while the component body and the mounting element are accommodated in the interior of the molding tool.

A two-component cross valve for controlling the fluid flow through a fluid conduit, the cross valve being injection-molded in two steps with no need for assembly after the injection molding procedure. The valve comprises a valve house with a plug inside it, and it has sealing means in the form of variations in the transverse sectional area of the plug and house along their lengths. Thereby, a cross valve is obtained which does not require a viscous sealant, such as silicone, to eliminate the risk of leakage, when the valve is open.

The invention relates to a method for producing a diaphragm for a diaphragm valve. The method includes the steps of conveying a plastics melt through at least one feed channel into a mold cavity which is delimited by a first mold and a second mold; moving the first and second molds toward one another; removing the at least one diaphragm from the mold cavity; and cutting off a sprue from the at least one diaphragm removed from the mold cavity.

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.

A structural reinforcement and biocompatible pump head for a pump includes a reinforcement structure having a plurality of ports and fluid pathways therein. The fluid pathways in the reinforcement may be coated or lined with a biocompatible material to form a biocompatible pump head useful for liquid chromatography and other analytical instrument systems. The biocompatible material may be injection molded into the fluid pathways of the reinforcement structure and may be machined after core pins are removed to obtain a desired surface finish and/or size of the biocompatible fluid pathways of the pump head.

A rotating component includes a metal plate fixed to an end portion of the metal shaft, and a resin valve gear integrally formed with the plate by insert molding. The plate is formed with a circular fitting hole that fits with the end portion of the shaft, and a positioning recess that is recessed from one side to the other side of the plate.
