Fugitive Emission Sensing System

View page
US Patent:
6345234, Feb 5, 2002
Filed:
Nov 11, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/189671
Inventors:
John Patrick Dilger - Marshalltown IA
Ted D. Grabau - Marshalltown IA
Nile K. Dielschneider - Conrad IA

Assignee:
Fisher Controls International, Inc. - Marshalltown IA
International Classification:
G01N 3100
US Classification:
702 24, 702 30, 73 2331
Abstract:
A system and method for collecting data relating to emissions from an emissions source is disclosed. The system comprises an accumulator adapted to receive emissions from the emissions source, a sensor in flow communication with an outlet of the accumulator for generating a signal indicative of a physical property of the emissions, and a sensor interface circuit receiving the signal and generating data relating to the emissions from the emissions source. A system and method for reducing emissions from an emissions source is also disclosed, including a microcontroller receiving data relating to the emissions from the emissions source and generating control signals for reducing the emissions.

Vulcanized Rubber Composition And Articles Manufactured Therefrom

View page
US Patent:
7288323, Oct 30, 2007
Filed:
Nov 13, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/712549
Inventors:
Ted D. Grabau - Marshalltown IA, US
Assignee:
Fisher Controls International, LLC - Austin TX
International Classification:
B32B 15/08
B32B 25/16
B32B 27/22
F01B 19/00
C08L 33/20
US Classification:
428462, 428463, 428461, 92 48, 92 49, 524565, 524566, 524571, 524492
Abstract:
The rubber compositions described herein have been found to have an exceptionally long life as a spring-biased actuator diaphragm material that maintains its position compressed, e. g. , bolted, between opposed flanges, while maintaining excellent compressibility, low temperature flexibility, hydrocarbon resistance, abrasion resistance and mechanical strength. The compositions include a copolymer rubber component; a plasticizer for the copolymer rubber; a vulcanizing agent for the copolymer rubber; a silica filler; and a coupling agent, such as a silane coupling agent, capable of coupling the silica filler to the copolymer rubber.

Fluid Pressure Reduction Device For High Pressure-Drop Ratios

View page
US Patent:
7766045, Aug 3, 2010
Filed:
Jul 31, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/461218
Inventors:
Allen C. Fagerlund - Marshalltown IA, US
Frederick W. Catron - Gladbrook IA, US
Charles L. DePenning - Marshalltown IA, US
Paul T. Alman - Marshalltown IA, US
Ted D. Grabau - Marshalltown IA, US
Assignee:
Fisher Controls International LLC - Marshalltown IA
International Classification:
F15D 1/02
F16K 3/24
US Classification:
138 42, 138 40, 138 37, 13762533, 1376253, 251127
Abstract:
A fluid pressure reduction device comprises two or more stackable annular plates. Each disk having a perimeter and a hollow center aligned along a longitudinal axis when the annular plates are stacked one on top of the other. Each disk further comprising at least one inlet flow sector having an inlet flow stage for defining a first inlet area and a first outlet area, and at least one outlet flow sector having an outlet flow stage defining a second inlet area and a second outlet areas wherein the ratio of the second inlet area to the second outlet area is predetermined to define a backpressure at the outlet flow stage to provide a sub-sonic fluid flow at the perimeter.

Low Friction Live-Loaded Packing

View page
US Patent:
7963502, Jun 21, 2011
Filed:
Aug 20, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/841423
Inventors:
Michel Ken Lovell - Marshalltown IA, US
Ted Dennis Grabau - Marshalltown IA, US
Assignee:
Fisher Controls International LLC - Marshalltown IA
International Classification:
F16K 31/44
US Classification:
251214
Abstract:
A valve packing assembly for a control valve includes a seal assembly, a loading assembly, and a packing retainer. The seal assembly has a seal component to provide a fluid seal around a valve stem and an anti-extrusion component to substantially prevent extrusion of the seal component about the valve stem. The loading assembly is configured to advantageously provide a predetermined packing stress to the seal assembly that is in the same direction as a process stress applied to the seal assembly by a process fluid, thereby substantially reducing packing friction and packing wear in the control valve assembly.

US Patent:
20050082766, Apr 21, 2005
Filed:
Oct 15, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/688403
Inventors:
Michel Lovell - Marshalltown IA, US
Ted Grabau - Marshalltown IA, US
Wilbur Hutchens - Marshalltown IA, US
Jason Olberding - Marshalltown IA, US
Harry Champlin - Mystic CT, US
Assignee:
FISHER CONTROLS INTERNATIONAL - Marshalltown IA
International Classification:
F16J015/18
US Classification:
277510000
Abstract:
An apparatus for sealing an operating member of a sliding or rotating assembly includes a seal formed by a composition of materials. A plurality of abrasive particles are incorporated into the composition and thus positioned within the seal. The abrasive particles are disposed to remove an amount of material adhering to the operating member, caused primarily by graphite adhesion. The composition forming the seal can be in the form of a laminate structure, and made of graphite, or graphite and polytetrafluoroethylene (“PTFE”). The plurality of abrasive particles can be selected to be suitable for removing material, while not substantially damaging a surface of the operating member.
