Provided are a seal structure in which sealing performance is ensured over a long period of time even when it is used for low-temperature fluids, a sealing method, and a coupling including the seal structure. The seal structure includes an annular gasket interposed between a first member and a second member. The first member is provided on its surface facing the gasket with: a first surface located on the inner diameter side; a first annular protrusion located on the outer diameter side of the first surface; a second surface located on the outer diameter side of the first protrusion; a second annular protrusion located on the outer diameter side of the second surface and having a greater protruding amount with respect to the second surface than that of the first protrusion; and a third surface located on the outer diameter side of the second protrusion.

Seal structure, sealing method, and coupling equipped with said seal structure

Provided is a flow rate control apparatus capable of being used continuously when the apparatus is used in equipment that operates continuously, and a flow rate control method for the flow rate control apparatus. A flow rate of a fluid is controlled via any one of control valves disposed in branch passages, respectively. When replacement of the one control valve is determined to be necessary on the basis of a signal outputted from a monitoring portion of the one control valve, the one control valve performing flow rate control is closed, and another control valve disposed in another one of the branch passages, is opened, to perform flow rate control with a flow rate equivalent to that before the replacement. Furthermore, on-off valves disposed at upstream and downstream sides of the closed control valve are closed.

Flow rate control apparatus and flow rate control method for the flow rate control apparatus

A valve device includes a valve body that defines flow paths, a diaphragm provided so as to be capable of opening and closing the flow paths, an operation member provided so as to be capable of moving in opening and closing directions that open and close the flow paths by operating the diaphragm, a main actuator that applies a driving force corresponding to an operating pressure applied in the opening direction or the closing direction of the opening and closing directions with respect to the operation member, a switching mechanism capable of selectively switching a position of the operation member that regulates a degree of opening of the flow paths between a first open position and a second open position in accordance with a magnitude of the operating pressure, and regulating mechanisms capable of independently regulating the first open position and the second open position.

A first on-off valve () and a second on-off valve () each are a two-port valve. A first passage block () is provided with a first on-off valve-corresponding inflow passage () and a first on-off valve-corresponding outflow passage (). A second passage block () is provided with a second on-off valve-corresponding inflow passage () and a second on-off valve-corresponding outflow passage (). The second on-off valve-corresponding outflow passage () is in communication with an upstream side portion of the first on-off valve-corresponding outflow passage () via a communicating passage () formed in the first passage block (). An orifice () is provided between the second on-off valve-corresponding outflow passage () and the communicating passage ().

Shutoff-opening device

A valve element movement mechanism includes: a first valve stem having one end portion to which a first valve element to close and open an area between one of the large diameter portion and the small diameter portion is fixed; a second valve stem having one end portion to which a second valve element to close and open an area between the other of the large diameter portions and the small diameter portion is fixed; a first bellows having one end portion fixed to a first bellows flange and the other end portion fixed to the first valve element; a second bellows having one end portion fixed to a second bellows flange and the other end portion fixed to the second valve element; a frame disposed outside the main passage; and an actuator to move the frame in the directions in which valve elements are closed and opened.

Flow dividing valve

Provided is a diaphragm valve that improves the durability of a diaphragm by focusing on the ratio of the radius of curvature of a pressing surface of a diaphragm presser to the radius of curvature of the diaphragm. SRb/SRa=0.4 to 0.6 is satisfied, wherein SRa represents the radius of curvature of a diaphragmand SRb represents the radius of curvature of a pressing surface of a diaphragm presser
