A check valve assembly () is provided for subsea applications. The check valve assembly comprises a housing (), having an inlet port () and an outlet port () forming an internal fluid passageway through the housing; a valve member (), moveable within the internal fluid passageway between a first position, where fluid flow through the internal fluid passageway is prevented, and a second position, where fluid flow through the internal fluid passageway is permitted; a biasing member (), adapted to urge the valve member into the first position at a predetermined cracking force, and a pressure interface (). The pressure interface operatively links the valve member and an external fluid of a region exterior of the check valve assembly so as to provide a supplemental force, proportional to the ambient pressure of the external fluid, adapted to urge the valve member towards the first position.

Self-regulating surplussing check valve

A stab connector for providing a fluid flow path between a first fluid reservoir and a second fluid reservoir, comprising a stab body coupleable to a receptacle in fluid communication with the second fluid reservoir and moveable inside the receptacle between a sealing position, in which fluid flow in the fluid flow path between the first fluid reservoir and the second fluid reservoir is prevented, and a flow position, in which the fluid flow in the fluid flow path between the first fluid reservoir and the second fluid reservoir is permitted.
