Patent attributes
A multi-port flow selector manifold valve includes a plurality of inlet ports adapted to be coupled to a fluid source, a test outlet adapted to communicate with at least one of the plurality of inlet ports, and a production outlet adapted to communicate with at least at least one of the plurality of inlet ports. A flow path is rotatably disposed between the test outlet and the plurality of inlet ports such that the flow path is rotatably alignable with each of the plurality of inlet ports. The flow path includes an inlet flow path having a longitudinal direction of flow and adapted to communicate with one of the plurality of inlet ports, an outlet flow path having a direction of flow substantially parallel to the inlet direction of flow and adapted to communicate with the test outlet, and an offset portion disposed between the inlet flow path and the outlet flow path. The offset portion has a direction of flow with an angle of less than 90 degrees to the outlet direction of flow.
