Abstract
Abstract A valve housing has butt pipes for connection to a pipeline for defining therewith a passage for a flow of a fluid being conveyed, preferably of a slurry. A plurality of ribs are provided along the passage on the lower portion of the wall thereof, each rib extending transversely of the passage. Each rib is of a tear-shaped configuration in its section taken along the longitudinal centerline of the passage, the enlarged portion of the rib facing toward the incoming flow of a fluid being conveyed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
93 words
A valve housing for installation in a pipeline, having: butt pipes for connection to said pipeline for defining therewith a straight-flow passage for a flow of a fluid being conveyed; a plurality of ribs provided along the straight-flow passage on the lower portion of its wall, each passage extending substantially transversely of the straight-flow passage; each of said plurality of ribs having in a section taken through the longitudinal centerline of the straight-flow passage a tear-shaped configuration, the enlarged portion of the rib facing toward the incoming flow of a fluid being conveyed.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
93 words
A valve housing for installation in a pipeline, having: butt pipes for connection to said pipeline for defining therewith a straight-flow passage for a flow of a fluid being conveyed; a plurality of ribs provided along the straight-flow passage on the lower portion of its wall, each passage extending substantially transversely of the straight-flow passage; each of said plurality of ribs having in a section taken through the longitudinal centerline of the straight-flow passage a tear-shaped configuration, the enlarged portion of the rib facing toward the incoming flow of a fluid being conveyed.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
A housing according to claim 1, wherein each of said plurality of the ribs is made of a wear-resistant material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
59 words
A housing according to claim 1, wherein the surface of each of said plurality of ribs facing toward the incoming flow a fluid being conveyed makes with the plane extending transversely of the straight-flow passage an angle which does not exceed the angle of friction of solid particles of a fluid being conveyed on the plurality of said ribs.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
A housing according to claim 1, wherein the height of each of the plurality of said ribs is not in excess of 0.03-0.05 of the maximum cross-sectional dimension of the straight-flow passage.
