A clamp assembly to secure a yoke to a valve body of a knife gate valve is provided. The clamp assembly can include a bolt that is configured to extend through a first bushing, a first spring member, a first side wall of the yoke, the valve body, a second side wall of the yoke, a second spring member, and a second bushing. The clamp assembly can be configured to pin the yoke to the valve body, apply a pressure-containing preload to the valve body via the first and second bushings, and compress the first spring member between the first bushing and the first side wall of the yoke and the second spring member between the second bushing and the second side wall of the yoke.

A fast blind plate switching device, comprising a sealing structure, a clamping structure, a support structure and an execution mechanism. The blind plate has an open-state structure and a blind-state structure. The support structure is used for connecting pipelines at two sides and providing support for the whole device. The clamping structure and the sealing structure are located inside the support structure. The clamping structure is driven by the execution mechanism, and under the drive of the execution mechanism, the clamping structure presses on the blind plate (1) to eliminate a gap between two sides of the blind plate, so that a seal is formed by means of the sealing structure. When a gap is formed away from the blind plate (1), the open/blind state of the blind plate (1) is switched.

An installment method of a fluid control body and a fluid control device including a fluid control body with which processes of designing, manufacturing, and managing the fluid control body are simplified to suppress cost of manufacturing, etc, includes a cut-off step of cutting off part of a fluid pipe inside a casing, and an installment step of installing the fluid control body including an on-off valve formed by a valve seat body and a valve element, and a partition body formed by a wall portion, a lid portion, and a seal component, inside the casing in a sealed manner in a state where an operation shaft of the on-off valve is placed in a direction different from the vertical direction.

By mounting a line blind valve (2) between a grease container (i) and a grease lubrication pump (3) replacement and mounting of the grease container can take place without leak of grease during the mounting as the outlet section must turn downwards during the mounting. By providing the installation with a line blind valve this can block grease leakage during the mounting and thereafter be opened. The valve (2) includes a flat central part (1o) with an opening (ii) which part can be displaced in relation to an upper positioned inlet section (4) and a lower positioned outlet section (8) and by displacement of the slide open and close for passage. In order to keep these parts (4, 8, 10) together a magnet (6, 7) is embedded in each of the two parts (4, 8) by which a sealed connection is secured with no air infiltration.

In an embodiment, a gate valve includes a valve body including a first opening, a second opening, a flow passage from the first opening to the second opening, and a gate channel intersecting the flow passage. The gate channel is defined in part by two side walls facing parallel to a center axis of the flow passage, and wherein at least one of the side walls has a concave slot extending lengthwise along a center of the side wall. In an embodiment, gate for a gate valve includes a first disc-shaped side and a second disc-shaped side. The first disc-shaped side includes a first center guide and a first diameter, the first center guide being a convex ridge extending across the first diameter.
