This Valve has been invented and designed to enable a valve having operative parts of half the ordinary diameter to pass a large amount of steam through a small working part. PRINCIPLE : Converting the pressure of the fluid Into velocity and re-con- verting the velocity into pressure, thereby passing an amount of steam equal to full carrying capa- city of pipe. SELLING POINTS: Passes same quantity of steam as a full-bore valve. Reduction in cost over ordinary fullway valves. Considerably less weight. Seats half diameter of ordinary sluice valve, therefore halves possible leakage. Reduces vibration in pipes. Graded opening—no sudden rush of steam in opening. No bve-passes necessary, therebv saving their cost. Is not subject to wedging action or mechani- cal strain. The discs slide with a flexible pressure upon the seats, thereby preventing cutting & scoring. When the valve is open the seats are pro- tected from the flowing fluid by the eyepiece. Al wavs easv to onen and close under pressure. It is an ideal valve for high temperature superheated steam, as there are no cast iron internal working parts.
