An apparatus for monitoring the usage of at least one maintainable part or component of a transfer valve or coupling comprises : data storage means for storing data representative of at least one attribute of the maintainable part or component of the valve or coupling; monitoring means for monitoring usage of the va...

A valve seat (10) comprises a substantially annular rigid scaffold member (12) and a substantially annular elastomeric sealing member (14) sealingly mounted on top of the rigid scaffold member. The valve seat has an outer peripheral surface for cooperation with the valve body of a valve assembly and the elastomeric ...

A split valve apparatus for the control, charging, discharging and/or regulating the flow of powders, liquids, slurries and/or fluids. The valve has two valve portions complementarily shaped such that the first can sealingly engage with and cooperate with the second to allow the flow of material therethrough. Each v...

Valve assembly (10) comprises two valve portions an upper and lower valve portion (12 14) each having a valve housing indicated generally at (16 18) which are generally annular and a valve closure member (20 20 ) which is pivotaily mounted within the housing. The valve closure member (20 20 ) is in the form of an an...

An apparatus provides operator feedback in response to opening or closing of a valve or coupling The apparatus may comprise: data storage means for storing at least one recommended opening or dosing event of the valve; sensing means for sensing operator actuation of the valve or coupling; and processing means for co...

A system for remotely monitoring a process or equipment comprises: processing means for receiving one or more sensed outputs representative of one or more environmental conditions and/or process parameters and/or equipment conditions; interface means configurable by a user for selecting a subset of the one or more s...

An assembly (10) (Fig. 1) having a passive beta port (12) and an active alpha port (14) the passive and the active are complementarily shaped such that they can engage with one another. The passive beta port (12) has an annular flange (16) defining an annular opening to which is releasably securable a passive port ...

A valve having an active (10) and passive (12) valve portion that are complementarily shaped such that the passive (12) valve portion can be received by and mated with the active (12) valve portion. Each valve portion has a generally cyclindrical valve body (14, 16) complementarily shaped with respect to one another...

A transfer device having an active member (10) comprising a main body (12) having an inlet (14) and an outlet (16) that can communicate with one another such that material may pass therethrough by means of a moveable/extendable conduit (18) moveable between a stowed configuration in which the inlet (14) and outlet (...
