A probe assembly configured to selectively restrict fluid flow through an outlet of a closed transfer system. The probe assembly has an elongate probe body with a top end portion, a bottom end portion, an outer wall, and an internal structure defining a fluid chamber extending from the bottom end portion to the top end portion. The fluid chamber has a fluid chamber inlet at the bottom end portion extending through the outer wall into the fluid chamber and a fluid chamber outlet at the top end portion extending from the fluid chamber through the outer wall. A probe tip with a cylindrical bore is configured to engage the top end portion of the elongate probe body and a probe tip outlet is configured to be in fluid communication with the fluid chamber outlet. A rotating head located circumjacent to the probe tip and adjacent to the probe tip outlet is configured to rotate about the probe tip. The rotating head having an inner surface, an outer surface, and a vane extending from the inner surface through the outer surface.

A two-handle faucet includes a faucet body, a faucet housing, and a faucet base. The faucet body includes two valve core assemblies, a tee connector, a water outlet pipe, and two water inlet pipes. The water inlet pipes are insertedly connected to the faucet base. The water outlet pipe is hermetically connected to the tee connector. The water inlet pipes are connected to the tee connector through the two valve core assemblies. The valve core assemblies are responsible for the passing of water. The faucet base is only used for supporting the faucet, and the water won't pass through the faucet base. The faucet is safe for use and has sufficient strength, so that the product performance is stable and the cost can be reduced.

A coupler for use in a closed transfer system is provided. The coupler includes a body with an axial slot, an outlet, and a probe that extends from a first end portion to a second end portion and at least partially received within the body, the probe configured to be movable relative to the body between a first position and a second position to selectively control the flow of fluid through the outlet. A handle is coupled to the probe and configured to interface with the axial slot, wherein the handle is configured to move axially along the axial slot to move the probe between the first position and the second position.

Embodiments of the invention provide a coupler for use in a closed transfer system configured to selectively engage a container seated in fluid communication with the coupler. The coupler has a body with a slot having an axial component, and an outlet. A probe extends from a first end portion to a second end portion and is at least partially received within the body, the probe is configured to be movable relative to the body between a first position and a second position to selectively control a flow of fluid through the outlet. A probe tip with a cylindrical bore is configured to engage the second end portion of the probe, and a handle is coupled to the probe and configured to interface with the slot. Axial movement of the handle along the slot moves the probe between the first position and the second position.

A sanitary valve including a body including at least two body openings; a plug disposed within the body, rotatable around a vertical axis, moveable along the vertical axis within the body, and including a plug top surface and at least two plug openings; a stem including a first stem end attached to the top plug surface and a second stem end; and an actuator attached to the second stem end and operable to rotate the stem and the plug around the vertical axis and to move the stem and the plug along the vertical axis.

Fluid flow control devices and related systems and methods may include a body or housing and a plug at least partially positioned in the body or housing to define a flow path. In a position of the plug, the plug and the body or housing may collectively define a fluid flow path.

A flow regulating valve, including a valve member, a plug member, a connecting member, a fixed base, and a stepper motor. The valve member has a chamber respectively communicating with an inlet hole and an outlet hole thereof. The plug member has an axial bore and a flow regulating structure, the axial bore corresponding to the outlet hole and the flow regulating structure corresponding to the inlet hole. The connecting member is disposed at a side of the plug member and at least a part of the connecting member is exposed to the outside. The fixed base has a through hole, a wall of which is provided with a first block section and a second block section. A space is formed between the first block section and the second block section, and a block of the connection member is located in the space to limit a rotating angle of the plug member. The stepper motor has a rotating shaft connected to the connecting member and a modular flow regulating valve is formed.

The disclosed technology includes pumps, pipes, valves, seals, and systems for pumping and controlling high temperature fluids, such as liquid tin, at temperatures of between 1000-3000 C. The systems and device may be partially or entirely constructed using brittle materials, such as ceramics, that are capable of withstanding extreme heat without significantly degrading, and may be secured using components made of refractory metals, such as tungsten. The systems and devices may utilize static and dynamic seals made from brittle materials, such as graphite, to enable the high temperature operation of such pumps, pipes, valves, and systems without leakage.

A probe for a closed transfer system, the probe including a probe body and a probe tip. The probe body defines an inlet, an outlet, and a plurality of channels. The outlet is in fluid communication with the inlet via at least one of the plurality of channels. The probe tip is located at a top end of the probe body and defines a first passageway. The first passageway is in fluid communication with at least one of the plurality of channels. The probe body is configured to be slidably moveable within a coupler body between a first position where the probe tip is received within the coupler body and a second position where the probe tip extends at least partially away from the coupler body to open a fluid flow path through the coupler body.

A plug member of a gas valve, having an axial bore, a first bore and a second bore located in a radial direction thereof to respectively communicate with the axial bore, and a first guiding slot and a second guiding slot recessed into an outer peripheral surface thereof. The first bore is larger than the second bore, and communicates with one end of the first guiding slot, while another end thereof is near the second bore. The first guiding slot becomes narrower from the first end to the second end. The second guiding slot has one end communicating with the second bore, and another end located between said first end and said second end.
