Abstract:
The invention relates to a seal assembly, which includes: (a) a ceramic tube (1); (b) a first ring (2) made of a refractory alloy including: a cylindrical opening (21) for receiving the ceramic tube; a first shoulder (22) which is located at the lower end of the ring, which is directed towards the interior of the cylindrical opening and which enables said ceramic tube to be supported; a second shoulder (23) forming, at the upper end of the ring, an annular space between the ceramic tube and the first ring made of a refractory alloy; (c) a second ring (3) which is made of a material that can be deformably sealed by heat-treatment, and which is located in the annular space formed by the second shoulder of the ring made of a refractory material; and (d) a third ring (4) made of a metal alloy, which is positioned on the upper edge of the first ring (2).
Abstract:
An energy diffusion sealing ring [872] for use with a hydrocyclone or pump is provided. The energy diffusion sealing ring [872] comprises a sacrificial suspension matrix [872A] comprised of a polymer, elastomer, or combination thereof, and a number of packed inserts [872B] suspended in the matrix [872]. The matrix [872] serves as delivery means for the inserts [872B] into one or more recessed portions [833, 841]. The inserts [872B] comprise a hard material (e.g., ceramic or carbide) and form wear bodies which slow and dissipate kinetic energy of escaping slurry by way of creating paths of resistance. As the suspension matrix [872A] erodes over time, a plurality of interstices [872C] between the inserts [872B] are formed. Escaping slurry [852] slows as it traverses three-dimensional serpentine paths defined by said interstices [872C], thereby reducing its potential to wear surrounding components. Methods for manufacturing an energy diffusion sealing ring [872] and for dissipating the energy of slurry [850] are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A method for producing a gasket framework (10) includes creating a strip (50) having a warp (20) and a weft (30) obtained using a yarn (40) made of semi-rigid synthetic material and susceptible of being folded. The method also includes compressing a multiple points (P) of the yarn (40) made of synthetic material.
Abstract:
Extruded or molded profiles comprising a polyolefin composition consisting of 85% by weight or more of a copolymer of 1-butene with ethylene (A) having an ethylene copolymerized content up to 18 % by mol, and having Mw/Mn lower than 3, hardness shore A (measured according to ISO 868) lower than 90, no melting point (TmII) detectable at the DSC after cancelling the thermal history, melting enthalpy (ΔHf), measured by DSC after 10 days of aging at room temperature, comprised between 4 and 15 J/g; and up to 15% by weight of a propylene copolymer or a composition of copolymers of propylene (B) having a melting point from about 126°C to 200°C, isotactic index greater than 90%.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a sealing arrangement for metal components, wherein the sealing arrangement has an electrical insulating effect, and wherein the sealing arrangement comprises a ceramic layer and a base soldering material disposed thereon, to which germanium is added. The addition of germanium advantageously ranges from 0.1 to 5.0 mole %, preferably between 0.5 and 2.5 mole %. A particular embodiment of the invention provides for the use of a solder which additionally comprises silicon in the range from > 0 to 2.5 mole %, preferably between 0.1 and 0.9 mole %. Furthermore, solder having a further addition of 10 to 40% by volume of Al 2 TiO 5 , preferably between 20 and 30% by volume of Al 2 TiO 5 , has proven to be particularly suited for said sealing arrangement. The use of the particular solder composition inside the sealing arrangement generally results in reproducibly tight and insulating joints having the following properties: a) the exiting of solder is prevented and the running of solder is reduced, b) the porosity in the solder (primarily individual pores or narrow pore lines) is clearly reduced, c) the soldered connections have sufficient electrical resistance, and d) the soldered connections are generally sufficiently gas-tight (leakage rate during He leak test -3 mbar*1*s -1 ).
Abstract:
A gasket material comprising polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and a thermoplastic polymer having a melting point lower than the melting point of PTFE. Preferred thermoplastic polymers comprise fluorinated thermoplastic polymers, and most preferred fluorinated thermoplastic polymers comprise fluorinated ethylene propylene and perfluoroalkoxy copolymer. The PTFE component preferably comprises full density PTFE, and a filler material may optionally be added. The PTFE component is present in the gasket material in an amount from approximately 50% to less than 100%, based on the total weight of the gasket material, and the thermoplastic polymer is present in an amount from greater than 0% to approximately 20%, based on the total weight of the gasket material.
