Abstract:
An exhaust pipe connecting structure includes a first exhaust pipe, a second exhaust pipe, a seal member, and a gasket. The second exhaust pipe is a separate part from the first exhaust pipe. The second exhaust pipe is connected to the first exhaust pipe and defines an exhaust passage together with the first exhaust pipe. The seal member is located between the first exhaust pipe and the second exhaust pipe in a connecting portion where the first exhaust pipe and the second exhaust pipe connect. The gasket is arranged between the seal member and the exhaust passage in the connecting portion where the first exhaust pipe and the second exhaust pipe connect together. The gasket has a heat resistant property.
Abstract:
A pipe joint comprising two sealing surfaces (6, 36) one positioned on each of two end portions (2, 4) of two pipes and a sealing device comprising a sealing ring (18). The sealing surfaces (6, 36) form a cylindrical sealing space in which the sealing ring (18) is compressed. In connection with the sealing ring there is in one of the pipe end portions arranged a circumferential cavity (34) partially receiving the elastic material of the sealing ring (18). The sealing surfaces (6, 36) form sealing space portions having a small and substantially equal space width on either side of the sealing ring (18) in the axial direction of the joint for forming supports for carrying transverse loads on either side of the sealing ring.
Abstract:
A method for joining nonmetallic pipes underground, with the pipes having mating pairs of bells and spigots, by fitting between mating spigots and bells dry distortable bands of an open celled material (preferably reticulated polyurethane foam) having a particulate water reactive material (preferably portland cement) impregnated therein and engaging each of the bands between one of the bells and its mating spigot. On wetting of the bands with water, the water reactive material therefor forms a water impervious hard sealant.
Abstract:
A peripheral sealing gland is configured to form a seal between an elongate member and a substantially flat surface having an aperture into which the elongate member extends. The sealing gland includes an at least partially frustoconical shaped skirt through which the elongate member is to pass and defining an upper seal structured to deform about and form a first seal to a periphery of the elongate member. The sealing gland includes a flange depending from a lower periphery of the skirt and having an endless lip seal, and a ring configured to bear on the flange so as to apply a pressure to the endless lip seal to form a second seal against the flat surface. The sealing gland includes a resealable split extending from the upper seal to a peripheral edge of the flange, and a compression clamp configured to close the resealable split, forming the first seal.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a peripheral sealing gland to form a seal, between an elongate member and a substantially flat surface. The gland has an at least in part tapered skirt or frustoconical shaped skirt through which the elongate member is to pass and defining at the upper periphery of the skirt and deformable upper seal to deform about and seal to a periphery of said elongate member. A flange depends from the lower periphery of the skirt including on its outward from the skirt presented surface, at least one endless lip to seal when brought into contact, against said substantially flat surface. A compression ring is able to bear on said flange, to be fastened to said substantially flat surface to capture the flange therebetween.
Abstract:
A method of protecting pipes with bell and spigot joints (having metal parts) from corrosion by fitting between the spigot and bell at least one dry band of open celled material (preferably reticulated polyurethane foam) having a particulate alkaline material (preferably Portland cement) impregnated therein and engaging the band between the bell and the spigot. On wetting of the band, the alkaline material is hydrated to protect the metal.
Abstract:
A system of protecting pipes with bell and spigot joints (having metal parts) from corrosion be fitting between the spigot and bell at least one dry band of open celled material (preferably reticulated polyurethane foam) having a hydratable cement (preferably Portland cement) impregnated therein and engaging the band between the bell and the spigot. On wetting of the band, the cement is hydrated to form a water impervious hard sealant in the joint which releases alkalinity to protect the metal.
