Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for measuring separation and/or orientation between two relatively movable members (e.g., two flanges). The apparatus measures at least one of separation and orientation between a first member and a second member that are movable relative to each other. The apparatus comprising at least one distance measuring device, which comprises a first assembly removably attachable to the first member and a second assembly removably attachable to the second member. The first assembly and the second assembly are configured to provide the distance between the first member and the second member. A method for measuring separation and/or orientation between a first member and a second member is also provided, comprising the steps of: providing a distance measuring device comprising a first assembly removably attachable to the first member and a second assembly removably attachable to the second member; attaching the first assembly to the first member and attaching the second assembly to the second member; measuring the distance between the first assembly and the second assembly; and determining the distance between the first member and the second member, wherein the first assembly and the second assembly are configured to provide a distance between the first member and the second member.
Abstract:
Gaskets for sealing two mating surfaces have an inner ring (26) positioned between two inner sealing deformable layers (28,30) and an outer ring (32) positioned exterior and concentric to the inner ring (26), the outer ring being positioned between two outer sealing deformable layers (34,36). The two inner sealing deformable layers (28,30) are configured to compress a greater amount than the two outer sealing deformable layers (34,36) when a compressive force is applied. In a compressed configuration, the two inner sealing deformable layers fill in the crevices of the mating surfaces of a corroded flange connection thereby avoiding immediate maintenance for the damaged flanges. The inner and outer rings (26,32) have grooves and ridges on upper and lower surfaces to retain and receive portions of the inner and outer sealing deformable layers in a sealed flange connection.
Abstract:
A cover assembly 100 for a flange joint 20 and methods related thereto are disclosed. In an embodiment, cover assembly 100 includes a unitary cover box 120 including a first open end and an inner cavity 123. The unitary cover box 120 is configured to receive a flange joint 20 through the first open end into the inner cavity 123. In addition, the cover assembly 100 includes a first end cap 140 including a throughbore extending axially therethrough, wherein the first end cap 140 is configured to be coupled to first open end.
Abstract:
A tool for aligning flanged conduit (71s, 71f) connections comprises first and second engagement devices for engaging first (72f) and second (72s) flanges respectively. A driving device (40) induces relative movement of the engagement devices to align the flanges (72s, 72f). The first engagement device can be in a first configuration, engaging a single orifice (73) of the flange, or a second configuration where the device can separate into at least two parts (52a, 52b) for engagement with at least two flange orifices (73), wherein the first engagement device is selectively actuable to change configuration between the first and the second configuration.
Abstract:
Le système comprend un collier de serrage (10) ayant une bande de serrage (14) apte à être serrée autour des extrémités (12A, 12Ά) aboutées des deux tubes (12, 12'). Le collier (10) comprend une patte de retenue (30), qui présente une portion de fixation (32) par laquelle ladite patte de retenue (30) est fixée à la bande (14) du collier et qui s'étend sensiblement axialement vers une portion d'attache (34) de ladite patte de retenue (30) par laquelle ladite patte de retenue est apte à être attachée au premier tube (12) au voisinage de la première extrémité (12A) de ce dernier.
Abstract:
A method of forming a drain fixture is disclosed along with the resulting structure. The method includes the steps of aligning two preformed fabrics on top of each other, with connecting elements positioned between the fabrics and bonded to each of the two fabrics, positioning the connected two fabrics in a mold and centering the connected, fabrics inside the mold by means of the connecting elements, injecting a plastic material through openings in the connecting elements, and filling the space between the two fabrics with the plastic material
