Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006024860A1] The invention relates to the provision of a valve which can be fitted to a pipeline to allow the control of the flow of fluid therealong. The valve includes at least one ball (10) having a first sealing means (14) positioned upstream of the ball and a second sealing means (16) positioned downstream of the ball. The first sealing means is movable under the influence of fluid pressure towards the ball to form a seal thereon and the ball and said first sealing means are movable under the influence of the fluid towards the second sealing means to form a second seal on the ball thus providing a double sealing arrangement with a single ball rather than the conventional two ball arrangements sealing arrangements.
