Abstract:
A dissimilar metal connection arrangement (25, 30) comprising a dissimilar metal connection (25, 30) between a first member (23a, 29a) made of a first metal and having a first end, and a second member (23b, 29b) made of a second metal different from said first metal with regard to its metallurgical behaviour, and having a second end, whereby the first end of the first member (23a, 29a) is fixedly connected to the second end of the second member (23b, 29b). An increased lifetime of the connection is achieved by arranging a heating means (26, 26') at said dissimilar metal connection (25, 30) for controlled heating of said dissimilar metal connection (25, 30).

Abstract:
A tubular connector includes a first tubular member that includes a female end; a second tubular member including a male end insertable into the female end, each of the first and second tubular members including a bore that extends there through; a clamp positionable about the first and second tubular members to urge the male and female ends into sealing engagement; a housing that at least partially encloses the clamp such that a chamber is defined between the clamp and the housing; and a plate positionable between an axial end of the clamp and the housing.
Abstract:
A connector 116 comprised of a body 116A adapted to be positioned adjacent two hubs 112A, 112B, a primary locking means for connecting the two hubs 112A, 112B together and at least one actuatable reaction member 130 that is operatively coupled to the connector body 116A, wherein, when actuated, an inner surface 130S of the at least one actuatable reaction member 130 is urged toward an outer surface 112S of one of the two spaced apart hubs 112A, 112B and wherein a line of travel 133 of the at least one actuatable member 130 is axially spaced apart 134 from a sealing interface that is to be established between the two hubs 112A, 112B.
Abstract:
A dismantling joint for joining a first pipeline component to a second pipeline component including a first half and a second half, the first half including a cylindrical spigot having an outer face and a flange extending outwardly from the outer face of the spigot, the flange having an inner face and an outer face remote from the inner face, and the second half including a socket adapted to slidably receive therein the spigot of the first half, the socket having a proximal end and a distal end remote from the proximal end, the proximal end being opposed to the inner face of the flange of the first half; and forcing means arranged between the inner face of the flange of the first half and the proximal end of the spigot to engage the inner face of the flange of the first half and the proximal end of the socket of the second half adjacent the outer face of the spigot to force the first and second halves away from each other.
Abstract:
A pipe clamp (1) for joining submerged pipes provided with flanges, the pipe clamp (1) including at least two segments (11, 13, 15) connected by at least one hinge (2, 3) and the pipe clamp (1) further being provided with a threaded bolt (5) arranged to open and close the pipe clamp (1), and the pipe clamp (1) being provided with at least one strain gauge (71-76) arranged to measure the tension of the pipe clamp (1) around the flange of the pipe when the pipe clamp (1) is closed by means of the threaded bolt (5). A method of tensioning a pipe clamp (1) and a use of strain gauges (71-76) to measure the tension of a pipe clamp (1) are described as well.
Abstract:
Pipe joint, which is formed from the end portions of the pipe sections (1, 2) to be joined together, said end portions having a collar (3, 4), and from flange parts (9, 10) which, as seen from the junction, are placed on different sides of the collars and tightened with applicable fixing means, such as with screws (17) and nuts (18), which collar (3, 4) of the pipe section is formed from the wall of the end of the pipe section by shaping with shaping means (F). The joint surface (7, 8) of the collar (3, 4) of at least one of the pipe sections (1, 2) to be joined is arranged to be divergent by the amount of an angle (α, β) from the plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (L) of the pipe section. The invention also relates to a method and to a flange part arrangement.
Abstract:
반도체 제조 공정 시 메인장비 내의 진공상태를 유지시키기 위한 다수개의 진공배관 라인이 설치되고, 이러한 진공배관라인들은 지속적인 진동이 발생되며 그 진동에 의한 풀림 현상 없이 기밀 상태를 유지하면서 진공배관의 연결 상태를 견고하게 유지시킬 수 있도록 한 개량된 진공 배관용 클램프에 관한 것이다. 진공 배관용 클램프는 센터링을 사이에 두고, 제1 배관의 제1 플랜지와 제2 배관의 제2 플랜지가 서로 접촉된 상태에서 분리 가능하게 고정시키기 위한 것으로, 내경으로 상기 제1 플랜지와 제2 플랜지의 제1 삽입홈이 형성되는 반원형의 제1 클램프를 포함한다. 반원형의 제2 클램프는 내경으로 제1 플랜지와 제2 플랜지의 제2 삽입홈이 형성된다. 연결링크는 제1 클램프와 제2 클램프의 자유단에 회동 가능하도록 양단이 힌지 결합된다. 록킹부재는 제1 클램프에 일단이 힌지 결합되며, 타단은 제2 클램프에 분리 가능하게 서로 결합된다. 제2 클램프의 자유단에는 고정홈을 갖는 고정 단턱이 제공되는 것을 특징으로 한다. 적어도 하나 이상의 보조고정부재는 제1 클램프와 제2 클램프의 외주면 일측에는 출입공이 관통되되, 상기 출입공을 통해 출입 가능하게 제공된다.
