Liner for insulating high temperature process piping against thermal fatigue failure

Provided herein is a liner that can be loosely inserted in process pipe to form a lined pipe and to decrease the rate of heat transfer between process fluids flowing through the liner and the process pipe. The liner provided herein can reduce applied thermal loading on the outer pipe resulting from, for example, turbulent mixing between fluids having different temperatures (with or without stratification), circumferential thermal gradients, and/or longitudinal thermal gradients. An annulus between the process pipe and liner can be at least partially filled by process fluids, thereby creating a thermal buffer to further decrease the rate of heat transfer between the fluids and the process pipe.

Problem to be solved is to fasten a flexible hose to a nipple so as to prevent the flexible hose from slipping off by coupling a plurality of belt-like bodies divided in the same shape. A hose joint sleeve of the present invention includes a sleeve main body that is deformable in a radial direction and is provided to hold a flexible hose between the sleeve main body and a nipple of a hose joint, the hose joint sleeve being configured to press and tighten the flexible hose toward an outer peripheral surface of the nipple with radial contraction and deformation of the sleeve main body.

BENDING ANGLE CALCULATION METHOD AND CALCULATION APPARATUS

Provided is a bending angle calculation method capable of saving a worker time and effort. The bending angle calculation method includes: an image capturing step (S1) of capturing an image of a pipe in which a first pipe and a second pipe are joined together by a joint; a derivation step (S3) of deriving, from the image, a laying direction straight line corresponding to a laying direction of the pipe; and a calculation step (S4) of calculating, as a bending angle at the joint, a crossing angle between a laying direction straight line of the first pipe and a laying direction straight line of the second pipe.

Pipe coupling

A pipe coupling includes a sleeve and a clamping ring. The sleeve includes a flange at least one end. The clamping ring is mounted to the flange. The clamping ring carries a seal and includes two spaced apart bolt engagement portions. The clamping ring further includes two separate clamping ring portions that are removably connected together at a coupling portion of each respective separate clamping ring portion so that each clamping ring portion is separable from the other one. The two separate clamping ring portions function as a unitary ring when the coupling portions are brought into abutting contact such that the coupling portions are fixed relative to each other.

PRE-ASSEMBLED COUPLING ASSEMBLY WITH CAP

A cap configured for engagement with a coupling, the cap defining an inner end and an outer end, the cap defining an axis extending from the inner end to the outer end, the cap defining a raised lip, a sealing surface, and a groove, the raised lip axially positioned at the inner end, the sealing surface positioned between the raised lip and the groove.
