Fighting against friction: A radical rethink to the problem of leaking valves Too good to be true? A plug valve that seals better as it wears. Tired of living with leaking valves, John Wordin from INEEL has applied 17A century mathematics to come up with a futuristic valve that solves an age-old problem. Recognised by R&D Magazine as one of the top 100 technical innovations of the last par, the Tractrix valve as it is known, has a novel plug design which maximises the useful life of the valve.
