The valve comprises a valve body defining a valve chamber having input and output openings, and housing a rotatable shutter element, traversed by a passage, adapted for selectively connecting the input and output openings. Provided between at least one of the openings and the shutter element, is a sealing seat having a truncated-cone shape with its axis lying in a plane, substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the shutter element and inclined with respect to the axis of the opening. The sealing seat has, in a plane which is perpendicular to the axis of the opening an ellipse portion, placed eccentrically with respect to the axis of the opening, with the eccentricity arranged along the major axis of the ellipse on the part which is opposite with respect to the position of the apex of the cone relatively to the axis of the opening. On the shutter element, a sealing ring is provided, for engagement with the sealing seat upon closing the valve.

A cutoff valve, particularly for the cutoff of high-temperature fluids, comprising a valve body defining in its interior a valve chamber having input and output openings, and housing a substantially spherical shutter element, traversed by a passage, said shutter element being controllably rotatable to connect, by means of said passage, said input and output openings, means being provided for obtaining a sealing action between at least one of said openings and said shutter element, at least upon closing the valve, characterized in that said means comprise a sealing seat defined at least at one of said openings and having a truncated-cone conformation with the axis tilted with respect to the axis of said at least one opening and lying in a plane which is substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation of said shutter element, said sealing seat having, in a plane perpendicular to said axis of at least one opening, a section in the shape of an ellipse arranged eccentrically with respect to said axis of at least one opening with eccentricity arranged along the major axis of the ellipse on the side opposite to the positioning of the apex of said cone with respect to said axis of at least one opening, furthermore being provided on said shutter element at least one sealing ring with an external surface essentially equal to said sealing seat and engageable in said sealing seat by rotating said shutter element when closing the valve.
