A modular valve system includes a modular valve body having an inlet, an outlet, a through-hole, and a fluid flow path between the inlet and the outlet. The modular valve body is used to assemble any one of a pressure regulating valve, a slam-shut valve, or a flow control valve, and the through-hole is configured to receive a component of any one of the pressure regulating valve, the slam-shut valve, and the flow control valve.

Modular valve system

A fluid regulator includes an actuator assembly disposed in a valve body. A sleeve includes a cylindrical wall, a first plate, and a second plate. Each of the first plate and the second plate is disposed in a cavity of the sleeve. A stem extends through the sleeve and is axially aligned with a longitudinal axis of the body, and includes a passage extending partially through the stem. The actuator assembly includes first and second pistons. First, second, third, and fourth chambers are separately disposed between the sleeve, the first or second plate, or the first or second piston. The first and third chambers are in fluid communication, and the second and fourth chambers are in fluid communication via the passage of the stem. The actuator assembly actuates a control element in response to a fluid pressure receivable in the first, second, third, and/or fourth chambers.

Balance structure for a regulator

Circumferentially-sectioned valve cages are disclosed. An example apparatus comprises a plurality of cage sections collectively configured to be removably coupled together to form a valve cage having a circumference and a plurality of joints. The joints correspond in number to the cage sections and are spaced apart from one another about the circumference. Respective ones of the joints are defined by neighboring ones of the cage sections.

Circumferentially-sectioned valve cages

A fluid regulator includes a balance port regulator valve and an actuator coupled to the regulator valve. The regulator valve has an inlet, an outlet, a valve port disposed between the inlet and the outlet, and a valve disc movable along a longitudinal axis between a closed position in which the valve disc sealingly engages the valve port and an open position in which the valve disc is spaced apart from the valve port. The actuator is responsive to fluid pressure to move an actuator stem along the longitudinal axis. A connector assembly operably and removably connects the valve disc to the actuator stem.

Fluid regulator

An assembly for and part of a slam-shut safety device. The assembly includes a reset pin and a valve disc operatively connected to the reset pin, the reset pin and the valve disc being movable between a first position, in which the valve disc is adapted to be spaced from a slam-shut valve seat of the slam-shut safety device, and a second position, in which the valve disc is adapted to engage the slam-shut valve seat of the slam-shut safety device. The assembly also includes a reset pin assembly including a reset rod operatively connected to the reset pin, and a reset sleeve arranged to support an end of the reset rod. The assembly further includes a feedback system arranged proximate the reset pin assembly and configured to provide data indicative of whether the reset pin and the valve disc are in the first position or the second position.

A balanced pressure regulator includes a valve body having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet connected by a fluid passageway. A valve seat is disposed within the fluid passageway. A balanced plug assembly is disposed within the fluid passageway, the balanced plug assembly including a valve plug that cooperates with the valve seat to selectively open or close the fluid passageway, a retainer operatively connecting the valve plug to a valve stem, a diaphragm separating a chamber from the fluid passageway, a central balancing passage that fluidly connects the fluid passageway with the chamber, and a peripheral balancing passage that fluidly connects the fluid passageway with the chamber, the peripheral balancing passage being located between the retainer and the valve plug.

Balanced regulator having a balanced trim including a variable pressure sense area

A balanced pressure regulator includes a valve body having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet connected by a fluid passageway. A valve seat is disposed within the fluid passageway. A self-aligning valve plug is at least partially disposed within the fluid passageway, the self-aligning valve plug interacting with the valve seat to selectively open or close the fluid passageway. A retainer is partially disposed within a bore of the self-aligning valve plug and operatively connects the self-aligning valve plug to a valve stem having a ball portion. More specifically, the retainer includes a recess adapted to receive the ball portion of the valve stem, such that the self-aligning valve plug automatically rotates around the ball portion of the valve stem to achieve alignment and sealing engagement between a valve disc of the self-aligning valve plug and the valve seat.
