Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A cone valve of the present invention enables to extend a lifespan more than a conventional cone valve even if it is used as a check valve when feeding slurry containing highly abrasive coarse particles. A cone valve ( 1 ) used as a check valve when feeding slurry, comprising at least a valve body ( 11 ), a valve seat ( 13 ), and a spring ( 14 ) incorporated to make the valve body ( 11 ) contact the valve seat ( 14 ), wherein an entire length of the spring ( 14 ) is at least shorter than a stroke length of the valve body ( 11 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A cone valve used as a check valve when feeding slurry, comprising at least a valve body, a valve seat, and a spring incorporated to make the valve body contact the valve seat, wherein an entire length of the spring is at least shorter than a stroke length of the valve body. 2 . The cone valve according to claim 1 , wherein the slurry is slurry of nickel oxide ore. 3 . The cone valve according to claim 1 , wherein shapes of contacting parts of the valve body and the valve seat are formed to be flat.
