PARAMETRIC STUDIES OF VALVE WITH HOSE DRIVE AT DESIGN STAGE
The article presents the results of preliminary studies of a shut-off device with a hose drive based on a parametric solid model. The parametric modeling methodology is considered. The study allowed to determine the preferential parameters including the wall thickness of the shut-off device elastic body, the diameter ratio of the flow-through pipe and the shut-off body, the length of the shut-off body, the position of the shut-off body towards the flow-through pipe. The analysis of device opening is carried out.
