A check valve includes a housing defining an inlet, an outlet, a passage between the inlet and outlet, and a sealing surface along the passage. A piston member is disposed about a longitudinal axis and has a sealing face disposed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and a circular groove defined therein extending inward from the sealing face. An O-ring is disposed in the groove. A biasing member exerts a biasing force on the piston and thus forces the O-ring into sealing engagement with the sealing surface of the housing. The piston member is moveable from a first position in which the O-ring is sealingly engaged with the sealing surface of the housing and thus the outlet is sealed from the inlet, and a second position in which the O-ring is spaced from the sealing surface of the housing and thus the outlet is not sealed from the inlet.

A fluid routing plug for use with a fluid end section. The fluid end section being one of a plurality of fluid end sections making up a fluid end side of a high pressure pump. The fluid routing plug is installed within a horizontal bore formed in a fluid end section and is configured to route fluid between an intake and discharge bore. The fluid routing plug comprises a plurality of first and second fluid passages. The first and second passages do not intersect and are offset from one another. The first fluid passages are configured to direct fluid delivered to the horizontal bore from intake bores towards a reciprocating plunger. The second fluid passages are configured to direct fluid pressurized by the plunger towards a discharge bore.

A device and method to improve accuracy of a water meter where a fluid is introduced into a valve assembly having an external casing. The fluid contacts a toggle stopper having a shaft, plate, and guides. A calibrated spring positioned around the shaft in contact with the plate assesses if the desired fluid meets a predetermined pressure. If yes, the calibrated spring compresses thereby toggling the plate within the chamber to allow desired fluid to enter the chamber. If no, the calibrated spring remains in an expanded state to seal the valve assembly. Upon such seal, there is an equalizing of both the desired and undesired fluids to the same pressure by decreasing the volume of the undesired fluid, causing the calibrated spring to compress and reopen.

A non-return valve (19) for a water supply system (1) or a pump (4) is integrated in a flow channel (14) of the water supply system (1). The non-return valve (19) includes a sealing body (21) which is mounted within the channel (14), blocks the channel (14) in a first position forming the closure position and releases the channel (14) in a second position forming the opened position. The sealing body (21) is movably arranged on a holder (31) which includes a closure body (15), with which the holder (31) is releasably fastened in a housing opening.

A valve is provided, the valve including a housing; and a valve element, the housing comprising a cylindrical bore defining an axial direction and an annular shoulder extending into the cylindrical bore, wherein the valve element is axially moveable within the cylindrical bore so as to move the valve element between a closed position in which the valve element engages with the annular shoulder and an open position in which the valve element is spaced from the annular shoulder, wherein, in the open position, fluid flowing into the valve in a first axial direction may flow through one or more apertures provided in the valve element and through the valve, wherein the valve element and the annular shoulder are configured to be in continuous contact along an annular contact surface when in the closed position so as to seal against fluid flow through the valve.

A one-way valve is provided. The one-way valve may be, for example, a check valve, a relief valve, or the like, which may be in the form of a poppet valve. The valve provides a housing with a through hole. The through hole has an upstream portion and a downstream portion. The upstream portion has a reduced diameter compared to the downstream portion. The housing contains a valve seat, which typically has a taper. A poppet, or valve member, moves within the through hole from a valve closed position and a valve open position. The poppet has a high pressure facing side and a low pressure facing side opposite the high pressure facing side. The low pressure facing side of the poppet engages an elastic member of a compression member that biases the poppet in the valve closed position. The high pressure facing side of the poppet engages a resilient metal seal in the form of an annular disc. The annular disc has a generally wavy or undulating shape. The outer ends of the resilient metal seal have a curve or arc shape and provide a seat interface that releasably engages the valve seat.

The present invention discloses a device for flow control of fluid in pipelines to various utility fluid outlets like water taps and the like by blocking fluid flow from pipeline to said utility fluid outlet when the flow exceeds a predetermined flow rate. In other word, the present invention discloses an automatic fluid flow controlling device for restricting and/or stopping flow of the fluid medium miming through the guiding means or the tubing system when fluid flow exceed a certain flow rate as well as stopping flow of the running fluid flow when fluid level in the vessel wherein the running fluid is being delivered reaches a certain height.

A system includes a flow control assembly having a first portion configured to be positioned within and coupled to a first passageway formed in a wellhead component and a second portion configured to be coupled to a second passageway formed in a body that is configured to be coupled to the wellhead component. An actuator of the second portion is configured to drive a valve member of the first portion into an open position to enable fluid flow across the flow control assembly.

A check valve having a valve that is movable by incoming water in the flow direction, from a closed position, where it bears against a first valve seat, against a restoring force into an open position, where it is raised from the first valve seat, and having a pressure relief valve with a closing member that is movable by pressure of the water flowing back against the flow direction, from a closed position, in which it bears against a second valve seat, against a restoring force into an open position where it is raised from the second valve seat. The restoring force acting on the closing member is greater than the restoring force acting on the valve body. The closing member has a closing member core made of a first material, and at least in the partial region thereof that abuts the second valve seat in the closed position, has a film or a layer made of a second relatively softer and/or elastic material.

A pressure actuated switching valve includes a first valve chamber including a first chamber portion. The first chamber portion has a first inner diameter, a second chamber portion having a second inner diameter that is greater than the first inner diameter, a third chamber portion having a third inner diameter that is greater than the first inner diameter, a fourth chamber portion having a fourth inner diameter that is greater than first inner diameter, and a valve member. The valve member includes a first section having a first outer diameter that is greater than the first inner diameter. A second section of the valve member has a second outer diameter that is closely matched to the third inner diameter. A third section of the valve member is arranged has a third outer diameter that is greater than the first outer diameter.
