Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus for welding cylindrical elements and toroidal bodies, said apparatus comprising a base (13), an electrode adaptor (14), having a welding electrode (15) attached thereto, a fitting member (1) which is mounted on the base (13) and has the rotatably bearing-mounted electrode adaptor (14) extended therethrough, and a shielding gas chamber (3), which is dismountably mountable on the fitting member (1), around the electrode (15). The shielding gas chamber’s (3) accommodation space for elements or bodies (A, B) to be welded is designed in such a way that the elements or bodies (A, B) to be welded constitute a section of the walls defining the shielding gas chamber’s (3) gas space and further constitute a partition for dividing the shielding gas chamber for two chamber compartments, one of which, an inner chamber, directs the shielding gas to the interior of the elements or bodies to be welded and the other, an outer chamber (5, 5.1, 5.2), surrounds the eventual weld.

Abstract:
A heating furnace tube, a method of using the same and a method of manufacturing the same which have been developed with a view to eliminating inconveniences occurring when a carbon-containing fluid is made to flow in the heating furnace tube. The heating furnace tube which comprises a rare earth oxide particle distributed iron alloy containing 17-26 wt.% of Cr and 2-6 wt.% of Al. The method of manufacturing this heating furnace tube which comprises the steps of forming or inserting an insert metal on or into at least one of a joint end portion of one heating furnace tube element and that of the other heating furnace tube element, bringing these two joint end portions into pressure contact with each other directly or via an intermediate member, and diffusion welding the two heating furnace tube elements to each other by heating the insert metal.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for the fluid-tight sealing and separation of a pipe section (10, 16, 18) by means of an ultrasonic welding device, comprising a sonotrode (20) with a first welding surface (22, 24), an anvil (21) with a second welding surface (42, 44) that is assigned to the first welding surface, and a separating element (26) which starts from the sonotrode and extends past the first welding surface. In order to be able to separate a section (16, 18) of a pipe (10) in such a way that the pipe (10) is sealed in a fluid-tight manner regardless of the side on which the said section (16, 18) is located and without having to change tools or reposition the ultrasonic welding device, the sonotrode (20) is provided with two first welding surfaces (22, 24) which are placed at a distance from each other and to which two second welding surfaces (42, 44) of the anvil (21) are assigned, the separating element (26) is disposed between the two first welding surfaces (22, 24), and a recess (46) which is located between the two second welding surfaces (42, 44) of the anvil (21) is assigned to the separating element (26).
Abstract:
A heat protective article 50 is a mat made of a heat resistant material. The mat has a through-hole 52 and an opening 54 extending from an edge 56 of the mat to the through-hole. A flap 60 is provided for selectively covering the opening 54. The heat protective article 50 can be fitted around a pipe by working the pipe along the opening 54 until it is received in the hole-hole. The heat protective article can then be orientated so that it provides suitable protection for adjacent surfaces during a process, such as soldering a joint, that requires the application of heat to the pipe.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren, eine Schweißvorrichtung bzw. einen Schweißzusatzwerkstoff (5) zum Schweißen einer Schweißnaht zwischen zwei Bauteilen (1,3;3,4) beim Herstellen eines Füllstandsmessgeräts. In für sich bekannter Art und Weise werden dabei ein erstes und ein zweites Bauteil (1,3;3,4) aneinander gesetzt und ein Schweißzusatzstoff (5) bereitgestellt bzw. zugeführt, wobei das erste Bauteil (1;3) und das zweite Bauteil (3;4) mit dem Schweißzusatzstoff (5) unter Hitzezuführung aneinandergeschweißt werden. Vorteilhafterweise wird zum Ermöglichen einer gleichmäßigeren Schweißnaht, der Schweißzusatzstoff (5) vor dem Schweißen als ein geformter Schweißzusatzstoff (5) in den Bereich der Schweißnaht zwischen dem ersten und dem zweiten Bauteil (1,3;3,4) gesetzt, wobei die Form des Schweißzusatzstoffes (5) der Form der Schweißnaht zumindest teilweise angepasst ist.

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf das Verbinden von Bauteilen (1;2) mit einseitiger Zugänglichkeit unter Verwendung eines Blindniets (3), wobei für eine spanlose, vollkommen abdichtende Vernietung der Bauteile (1,2) gesorgt werden soll. Zu diesem Zweck wird erfindungsgemäß der Dornkopf (8) des in der Blindniethülse (4) geführten Nietdorns (7) mit einem kegelstumpfförmigen Abschnitt (12) ausgebildet, dessen Stirnfläche (13) bei Rotierung des Blindniets (3) mit einer axial gerichteten Vorschubkraft gegen das zugewandte Bauteil gedrückt wird, wobei der Bauteilwerkstoff im Bearbeitungsbereich erwärmt und fließfähig gemacht wird, der rotierende Dornkopf (8) fortlaufend ein die beiden Bauteile (1;2) durchsetzendes Fließloch (20) formt, der verdrängte überflüssigen Bauteilwerkstoff mit dem Dornkopf (8) kappenartig verbunden wird, der Blindniet (3) die Bauteil (1;2) bis zum Anschlag des Setzkopfes (5) der Blindniethülse (4) am zugewandten Bauteil durchdringt und der Nietdorn (7) unter Stauchung des blindseitigen Endes der Blindniethülse (4) zurückgezogen wird, bis der Dornkopf (8) abdichtend in der festen Verbindungsstelle der beiden Bauteile (1;2) verbleibt.
Abstract:
The present invention pertains to a method and apparatus for obtaining templates used in pipe end cutting essential in fabricating saddle and mitered pipe connections. The template (1A) is made by an array of z-shaped pins arranged radially (4) to form the shape of a stepped cylinder. A flexible adjustable length track (2) on the z-shaped pins or on another set of pins forms a track for a roller on a tool to follow. This track replaces metal templates, which have to be specially made for cutting each shape and size pipe for pipe connections to other pipes or to boilers and other devices. The invention provides a large array of templates for one or more sizes of pipe eliminating the need to have a large number of templates for different pipe sizes and shapes. A miter table attachment (1C) can be used for off-center pipe connection cuts.
