Abstract
The fluid valve comprises an integral housing made of forged steel, the housing having tubular end portions as fluid inlet and outlet, respectively, conical transition zones having a cone angle of at least 30.degree., and a central enlargement joined by said transition zones to said inlet and outlet ducts. The valve system is positively held between the transition zones. One of the transition zones may form the valve seat cooperating with an axially displaceable valve body.
Claims8
A fluid valve, comprising a housing having
- a first tubular end portion,
- a tubular central portion of increased diameter,
- a first trunconcial intermediate portion joining said first end portion to said central portion of increased diameter, and
- a second tubular end portion,
- a second trunconical portion joining said central portion to said second tubular end portion, the housing being of unwelded integral construction, and said trunconical portions having cone angles of at least 30.degree., and
- a valve system means disposed in said central housing portion and comprising at least one valve body,
- a support means, sealing means, and at least one tolerance absorbing means subject to variable compression
- whereby said valve system is axially clamped with said tolerance absorbing means under varying compression between said trunconical portions and is operative regardless of production tolerances affecting axial clearance between said trunconical portions,
- said tolerance absorbing means being plastically deformable and disposed between said trunconical intermediate portions and said valve system, and said deformable means being deformable by assembling forces but non-deformable by valve actuating forces.
