Abstract
An apparatus for controlling flow of a fluid in a fluid conduit may include a closure member having an outer circumferential surface defined by a composite geometry, a biasing member applying a biasing force to the closure member, and a sealing member receiving the closure member. A fluid seal is formed in the fluid conduit when the biasing member presses the closure member against the sealing member.
