    摘要: A subsea clamp connector for connecting the ends of two tubular members to each other, the clamp connector including first and second clamping elements, which are pivotable into a closed position in clamping engagement with the ends of the tubular members; and a replaceable locking unit for locking the clamping elements in the closed position. The locking unit includes an operating shaft, a first retaining member mounted to the operating shaft and configured for engagement with a shoulder on a holding member fixed to the first clamping element, and a second retaining member mounted to the operating shaft and configured for engagement with a shoulder on a holding member fixed to the second clamping element. The locking unit is detachably mountable to the clamping elements by insertion of the operating shaft sideways into slots provided in the holding members.

    摘要: A tubular joint comprising first and second tubular members, an annular sealing element positioned between the tubular members and a clamping device for clamping the tubular members to each other with an end face of the first tubular member in contact with an end face of the second tubular member. The sealing element comprises an annular metallic body. Two sealing surfaces on the metallic body are designed to mate with tapered sealing surfaces on the tubular members. A first spring-energized polymeric seal member is mounted to the metallic body and configured to be in sealing contact with a radially extending sealing surface on the first tubular member. A second spring-energized polymeric seal member is mounted to the metallic body and configured to be in sealing contact with a radially extending sealing surface on the second tubular member. Seal members are prestressed upon clamping of the tubular members to each other.

    摘要: Provided is a method for determining a filter change schedule for a gas turbine. The method includes determining differential pressure variation across filters and a time elapsed since a last filter change, where the differential pressure variation and the time elapsed are each associated with at least one filter disposed in the gas turbine. The method also includes estimating a future power loss and/or a future fuel consumption caused by the differential pressure variation. Moreover, the method can include determining the filter change schedule based on a cost of the filter change, the time elapsed, a cost of the future power loss, and optionally a cost of the future fuel consumption, a cost of emission variation, and a cost of production loss.

    摘要: An arrangement for metering the flow of fluid in a flowline or jumper for transport of hydrocarbons, wherein the flowline or jumper is subjected to internal and external loads and forces which are taken up by the wall of the flowline or jumper. A metering pipe loop is adapted for installation of a flow metering instrument, the metering pipe loop having an inlet and an outlet respectively connected in fluid flow communication with the flowline or jumper on either side of a plug effectively directing all fluid in the flowline or jumper into the metering pipe loop, whereby the flow metering instrument installed in the metering pipe loop is isolated from the path of load which is defined by the flowline or jumper.
