Abstract: A flexible joint includes a pair of generally tubular members and a ring (e.g., gimbal ring). The tubular members are pivotally connected to the ring by pivot pins such that the pivot axes of the tubular members is generally perpendicularly related to each other to form a hinge. A support structure may interconnect the pivot pins and may be configured to support the pivot pins across the joint to maintain a generally perpendicular hinge orientation. A conduit may connect the tubular members.

Abstract: A gimbal joint includes a gimbal ring, a first fitting pivotally connected to the gimbal ring such that the first fitting pivots about a first axis, and a second fitting pivotally connected to the gimbal ring such that the second fitting pivots about a second axis substantially orthogonal to the first axis. The gimbal ring further includes a separable sealing element having a cylindrical portion with a first rounded end and a second rounded end. The gimbal ring, the first fitting, the second fitting, and the separable sealing element define a fluid pathway.

Abstract: A flexible connection is described for use between a vertical, large diameter cold water conveying pipe and a floating platform that supports the cold water conveying pipe or another pipe to permit the pipe and the platform to rotate in roll and pitch directions relative to one another without imposing excessive bending moments or strain on the cold water pipe. The flexible connection also contains internal and external pressure across the connection. The flexible connection includes an articulation mechanism that interconnects the vertical cold water conveying pipe and the platform or a pipe on the platform, and a flexible, fluid impermeable bellows.

Abstract: A gimballed joint includes an annular bellows seal circumscribed about a joint centerline mounted within forward and aft shrouds. The forward and aft shrouds have devises with lugs and a threaded hole is disposed through each of lugs. A ring circumscribed about the lugs has counterbored holes. Each of the counterbored holes is aligned with one of the threaded holes. Pins having heads and shanks extending inwardly therefrom are disposed through and the heads engage the counterbored holes. Externally threaded portions of the shanks are threaded into internally threaded holes in the each of the lugs. A key is disposed through a key hole extending inwardly through each of the heads and through threaded together portions of external threads of each of the externally threaded portions and internal threads of each of the internally threaded holes. In one embodiment wear bushings are disposed in the counterbored holes between the heads and the ring.

Abstract: A flexible joint has a bellows, a first support cover connected with one end of the bellows, a second support cover connected with another end of the bellows, a pin fixed to the first support cover, a cap fixed to the second support cover, and a buffer member constructed of wire mesh and disposed between the first support cover in combination with the pin and the second support cover in combination with the cap. The buffer member includes two portions different in modulus of elasticity. Due to the structure, gap generation between the first support cover combined with the pin and the second support cover combined with the cap is prevented.

Abstract: A flexible fluid-conducting assembly includes a pair of pipes which respectively terminate in free end regions which are adjacent but spaced from each other so as to define a predetermined gap between themselves. A flexible, fluid-tight, tubular sheet surrounds and is fluid-tightly fixed to the free end regions of the pipes and bridges the gap therebetween to prevent fluid from escaping through said gap outwardly beyond the fluid-tight, tubular sheet. An internal structure is fixed within the pipes internally thereof at their free end regions and extends through the gap for maintaining substantially unobstructed flow of fluid through the pipes while connecting the pipes to each other for at least limited turning movement, one with respect to the other, about at least one axis which is situated in the gap between the free end regions of the pipes.

Abstract: To compensate for the different motions that two expanding and contracting flues impose on an interconnected communicating duct, three center pinned expansion joints are added to the ductwork. Each of these expansion joints, coupled to adjacent duct segments, enable the duct to adjust to all axial, rotational and togglelike motions that result from movement of the associated flues. This adjustment is accomplished, moreover, without distorting, warping, or shearing the casing.

Abstract: A pipe includes at least one first section connected to a second section by a hinged element allowing a predetermined angular movement of the first section relative to the second section under a predetermined minimum force. The hinged element includes two end pieces connected respectively to the first section and to the second section and hinged with each other to allow the angular movement, and a tube having ends connected to the end pieces so as to be elastically deformable under the predetermined force according to the predetermined angular movement. The sections and the end pieces themselves are rigid under the predetermined minimum force. A treatment facility include such pipes.
