An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a check valve comprising a valve housing including first and second internal flow passages each formed to pass through an interior of the valve housing and having an inlet through which a fluid is introduced and an outlet through which the fluid is discharged; a first opening and closing member provided in the first internal flow passage and opened and closed by a hydraulic pressure of the fluid; a second opening and closing member provided in the second internal flow passage and opened and closed by the hydraulic pressure of the fluid; and a stopper member press-fitted to the valve housing.

Fluid regulator
09739387 · 2017-08-22 · ·

A fluid pressure regulating unit, comprises a fluid inlet port, a fluid outlet port, a valve comprising a movable valve part, wherein the movable part comprises at least one fluid pressure balancing means and wherein the at least one pressure balancing means comprises a tapered surface, and a main valve biasing means. The main valve biasing means biases said valve in the direction of an open position. An auxiliary valve biasing means is provided, biasing the valve in the direction of a closed position. Wherein essentially every surface part, being in fluid connection to the fluid inlet port and having a surface normal at least partially in parallel to the moving direction of the moving part of the valve, is balance by a balancing surface part.

Apparatus for fluid control device leak detection

Apparatus for fluid control device leak detection is disclosed. An example method includes monitoring a value at a purge port of a fluid control device using a sensor, the fluid control device including bellows; comparing the value to a threshold value; and determining, via a processor, that the value is outside of the threshold value, the value being outside of the threshold value indicative of a leak in the bellows.

Pressure responsive fluid flow control valves

In one set of embodiments a selected section of tubular stock has its ends welded together to form a pillow-like pressure sensing device with an entry tube and an exit tube each configured to facilitate insertion of the pressure sensing device into the flow path of IV infusate in an IV administration set or system. Fluid pressure in excess of a predetermined amount reconfigures the pressure sensing device from a generally oval configuration to a generally circular configuration to restrict and/or cut off fluid flow into the device while permitting fluid flow from the device to reduce the fluid pressure again reconfiguring the device back to its generally oval configuration and permitting fluid flow into and through the device. In other embodiments a fluid pressure sensing device is formed with a fluid entry chamber and a fluid exit chamber interconnected by a passageway and provided with a piston that reacts to an increase in fluid pressure above a predetermined amount to close off the interconnection between the chambers and fluid flow into the exit chamber. Continued fluid flow from the eit chamber results in a reduction of fluid therein and reopening of the fluid passageway between the chambers.

Pressure loaded regulator with dual diaphragm and redundant seal

A fluid regulator includes a regulator body having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet connected by a fluid flow path, with a portion of the regulator body forming a first chamber, an orifice disposed in the fluid flow path, a seat, and a control element disposed within the fluid flow path and shiftable between an open position spaced away from the seat and a closed position seated against the seat, with the control element arranged to respond to fluid pressure changes to control flow of a process fluid through the orifice. A diaphragm has a radially inner portion that is operatively coupled to the control element and a radially outer portion that is operatively coupled to the regulator body. The diaphragm includes a resilient redundant diaphragm sandwiched between two metal diaphragms, the diaphragm providing two separate seals.
