Abstract:
A compliant heating system includes a dynamic component including a heat exchanger; a pressure vessel shell encompassing at least a portion of the heat exchanger; and a compressive seal expansion that connects the dynamic component and the pressure vessel shell.
Abstract:
The present application discloses methods and apparatus for installing fitting components, such as a conduit gripping device, on a conduit to form an assembly. The assembly is joinable with at least one other fitting component to form a fitting. The present application also discloses methods and apparatus for evaluating characteristics of components of a mechanically attached connection. Characteristics that may be evaluated include, but are not limited to, the position of a conduit gripping device on a conduit, an amount of axial compression or stroke of the conduit gripping device, an amount of clamping force applied to the conduit gripping device as the conduit gripping device is compressed, and an amount of torque applied to members that compresses the conduit gripping device.
Abstract:
Provided is a pipe connecting sealing member including a projection part includes a body part that is provided between the outer surface of the pipe and the inner surface of the connector to which the pipe is inserted, and is formed to extend in a ring shape along a circumferential direction; and the projection part that is formed in a spiral shape forming an unlimited orbit and projects along the outer surface of the body part.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Rohrkupplung mit einer eine Dichtungskammer begrenzenden Dichtungsanordnung (1, 2; 1', 1", 2), die innerhalb eines Stützkörpers angeordnet ist, der zumindest benachbart zu einer Seite der Dichtungsanordnung (1, 2; 1', 1", 2) Spannelemente (9a, 9b) für ein Ende eines eingesteckten Rohrs (5) abstützt, die mit dem eingesteckten Rohr (5) in Eingriff bringbar sind, wobei die die Dichtungsanordnung (1, 2; 1', 1", 2) in einer Außenhülse (6) als Stützkörper aufgenommen ist, die innenseitig wenigstens ein Paar von gegeneinander federvorgespannten Spannelementen (9a, 9b) in Form von Klemmelementen aufnimmt, das über eine durch die Außenhülse (6) geführte Spannschraube (11) quer zur Achse der Druckkupplung gegen das Ende des eingesteckten Rohrs (5) verspannbar ist, wobei die Spannelemente (9a, 9b) in Verspannrichtung in der Außenhülse (6) geführt sind.
Abstract:
A sealing arrangement and a method for testing the integrity of a sealing arrangement of a flexible pipe are disclosed. The method includes locating a first annular sealing element and a second annular sealing element in a joint between two elements of a flexible pipe, with a region of the joint therebetween; and pressurizing the region between the first sealing element and the second sealing element through a port extending towards the region to a predetermined pressure of 0.2 MP or greater.

Abstract:
The present invention concerns a rotatable coupling (60) for connecting pipes, comprising a first hollow female element (61) suited to be connected, for example, to a first pipe portion (51), and a second tubular male element (6) with a first end portion at least partially housed inside the first female element (61) so as to define an inner space for the passage of a fluid, and with a second end portion suited to be connected to a second pipe portion (52). Said first and said second element (61, 6) can be rotated with respect to each other, said second tubular male element (6) comprising a first abutment surface (6S). Furthermore, the rotatable coupling (60) comprises a third hollow tubutar element (12) housed inside the first female element and provided with a second abutment surface (1S) substantially opposite the first abutment surface (6S) so as to define a first interspace (I), and the third tubular hollow element (12) can be translated along a direction substantially orthogonal to the first and the second abutment surface (6S, 1S) between a closed configuration, in which the first and the second abutment surface (6S, 1S) are positioned at a minimal mutual distance, and an open configuration, in which the first and the second abutment surface (6S, 1S) are positioned at a distance that exceeds said minimal mutual distance.
Abstract:
A crimp fitting comprises a metal tube wall that forms both a cylindrical tube portion and an adjacent annular O-ring channel portion. The tube wall has a first wall thickness along the cylindrical tube portion and a second wall thickness along at least part of the O-ring channel portion. The second wall thickness is less than the first wall thickness. The cylindrical tube portion and O-ring channel are configured and adapted to encircle a cylindrical end portion of a tube when such end portion of the tube is inserted into the fitting.
