    摘要: A clamp for coupling two tubular members together includes an annular body. The clamp also includes a plurality of fixed segments that are configured to be secured at least partially within a recess formed in an inner surface of the body. The fixed segments are circumferentially offset from one another with respect to a central longitudinal axis through the body. The fixed segments are configured to exert a downward force on a first hub of a first tubular member. The clamp also includes a plurality of clamping segments that extend radially through the body. The clamping segments are circumferentially offset from one another. The clamping segments are axially offset from the fixed segments. The clamping segments are configured to actuate between a retracted position and an extended position. The clamping segments in the extended position are configured to exert an upward force on a second hub of a second tubular.

    摘要: A method of installing a 3-piece pipe coupling to connect a first pipe element to a second pipe element includes the steps of bringing the 3-piece pipe coupling into engagement with a first connection groove located proximate a first pipe element end of the first pipe element and with a second connection groove located proximate a second pipe element end of the second pipe element, the 3-piece pipe coupling comprising three pieces; and tightening the 3-piece pipe coupling about the first and second pipe element ends with a fastener extending through a first fastener pad and through a second fastener pad formed at respective distal ends of two pieces of the three pieces comprising the 3-piece pipe coupling.

    摘要: A connection element for an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine includes a connection element body extending in the direction of a connection element longitudinal axis. An inner circumferential surface of the connection element body delimits an exhaust gas passage of the connection element and a connecting flange extends radially outward from the connection element body and surrounds the longitudinal axis. The connecting flange has an abutment surface oriented in the direction of a first axial end of the connection element body. A section of the connection element body defines the first axial end thereof. A centering section has a centering outer circumferential surface and a depression surrounds the longitudinal axis and has a depression surface which is offset axially in the direction away from the first axial end with respect to the abutment surface.

    摘要: Sealing assemblies are described herein useful for high temperature applications, as well as applications involving aggressive chemical reactants, byproducts and/or reaction environments. The assemblies include an outer ring having an interior surface having two inwardly extending projections defining a seal receiving area, an inner ring having an exterior surface having two outwardly extending projections defining a seal receiving area; and a center sealing ring configured to be positioned within the seal receiving areas of the outer ring and the inner ring. When the sealing assembly is installed in a high temperature application, the elastomeric center sealing ring is enclosed within the outer and the inner rings so as to protect the center sealing ring while allowing for thermal expansion of the center sealing ring. In further embodiments, bonded sealing ring bodies are disclosed as well.

    摘要: A reusable clamp for retaining conduit sections or sanitary fittings having circular flanges together includes two gland members movable between open and closed positions. The gland members include two handles projecting outwardly from the gland members and two sets of locking detents formed on a latch finger connected to one gland member and the outer periphery of the other gland member. The locking detents engage to prevent movement of the gland members away from the closed position until a latch release arm coupled to the latch finger is depressed towards one of the handles, which causes the locking detents to disengage from one another and enables re-opening of the clamp when desired. The latch release arm and one or more of the handles also include tie-receiving loops to prevent accidental opening of the clamp unless desired by the end user.
