ABSTRACT:
A floating gate valve seat has an integral static seal comprising a convex arcuate limb 9 and a projecting tip 25 on the limb arranged to contact a seat pocket surface 12 and place the limb in flexing stress to effect a seal at the tip 25. A set-back stop surface 15 on the valve seat limits the compression of the seal and the axial movement and the valve seat 7.
