    摘要: The invention relates to a connection system for connecting lines requiring angular orientation to land based or subsea production structures, the system including a connector (200) and a connector receiver (100) secured to a production structure surface (110) adapted to receive the connector. The connector receiver includes guide slots (108) for receiving guide keys (208) of the connector. The guide slots serve to guide the connector into angular and axial alignment with the connector receiver and to provide a soft landing preventing damage to the connecting ends.

    摘要: A plumbing apparatus for placing and supporting a vertical pipe in relation to an installation surface, comprising a plumbing target placement tool, and a plumbing target guide having a pair of securing rods and a pipe supporting member, the plumbing target placement tool allows the securing rods to be precisely embedded into the installation surface over an installation point. The pipe supporting member is attached to the securing rods in vertical alignment with the installation point, and allows the vertical pipe to be vertically inserted, to be supported perpendicularly to the installation surface an in vertical alignment with the installation point. The plumbing apparatus further comprises a horizontal pipe alignment guide that allows horizontal pipe to be positioned along a guide line that runs through the installation point, the horizontal alignment guide being attached to two additional securing rods placed astride the guide line with the horizontal pipe centered therebetween.

    摘要: A tool to manage flanges during installation and dismantling of flanges includes a first ring support structure and a second ring support structure spaced apart along a tool axis. First and second mechanical arms are retained on the first and second ring support structures. Each of the mechanical arms has an extendible arm joint that is operable to adjust an axial distance between the first and second ring support structures. A guide shaft is coupled to the first and second ring support structures. The guide shaft is positioned to guide a relative movement between the first and second ring support structures during operation of the extendible arm joints of the first and second mechanical arms.

    摘要: A pipe laying device (T) connected to the jib (F) of a transport machine and carrying the pipe to be laid (T) to tight-fit it into a laid pipe (To).
    This coupling head (1) comprises a vertical axis (YY) swiveling link (11) and a horizontal axis (Z) tilting link (12). It comprises a guide rail (2) with a bearing (21) for positioning and attachment to the end of the laid pipe (To) and aligning the pipe to be laid (T) with the laid pipe (To) and a carrier (3) forming a telescopic tube (30) tight-fitted to the guide rail (2) and operating in relation to it; the carrier (3) carries the pipe to be laid (T) and tight-fitted to the laid pipe (To).
    The guide rail (2) is connected to the coupling head (1) through the telescopic tube (30).

    摘要: A pipe processing tool that is configured to deform the end of a pipe so that the circumferential shape of the end of the pipe generally matches the circumferential shape of an adjacent pipe end. Matching the circumferential shapes of the pipe ends is advantageous during a pipe attachment process. The pipe processing tool can include a deformation ring with a plurality of pipe deformation members. Each pipe deformation member faces radially inward and is actuatable in a radial direction toward and away from the center of the deformation ring in order to permit engagement with the pipe. Each pipe deformation member is individually and separately actuatable from the other pipe deformation members so that the circumferential shapes of the pipes can be altered by controlling suitable ones of the pipe deformation members.
