The present invention relates to a pipe (1, 3) having a pipe element (3) for conveying a medium in a flow direction (A) and having a flange element (1) for connecting the pipe element (3) to a connection partner, wherein the pipe element (3) has a pipe body (30) with a media passage opening (31) for conveying the medium in the flow direction (A), wherein the flange element (1) has a flange body (10) with a media passage opening (11) for conveying the medium in the flow direction (A), wherein the flange element (1) is arranged at one end of the pipe element (3) in such a way that the media passage openings (11, 31) at least substantially overlap. The pipe (1, 3) is characterized by a sensor element (21) which is arranged in the flange body (10) in such a way that at least a portion of the sensor element (21) can be in contact with the medium.

Systems, apparatus and methods for hot tapping into pressurized, coated duct systems for transporting corrosive substances are disclosed. A branch line may be installed in such systems without shutting down or depressurizing the system using the disclosed systems, apparatus and methods without compromising the system coating or resistance to corrosion from the transported substances. Cut edges created when ductwork is cut to install a branch line are captured and sealed between two gaskets, avoiding the need for recoating with difficult to apply corrosive protection materials such as fluoropolymer coatings.

A connecting apparatus for creating a connection to a measuring instrument or to a valve block/valve with a measuring instrument, and a connection to a pipeline or to a metering orifice device installed in a pipeline comprises: a first connecting device that provides a sealing connection to the pipeline or to the metering orifice device with a first recess extending through in the longitudinal direction, and a second connecting device that provides a sealing connection to the measuring instrument or to the valve block/valve with a second recess extending through in the longitudinal direction. The first and second connecting devices are interconnected with sealing effect. The connecting unit is designed so that the sealing connection can be created solely by rotation of the connecting unit without rotating the first and second connecting devices.

A pipe joint for coupling to at least one pipe is disclosed in the present invention. The pipe joint includes a main body and at least one positioning socket. The main body has a runner and at least one opening communicated with the runner. The runner has an insertion area adjacent to the opening. The positioning socket has a head, an inserting portion, a pipe channel, a radial threaded hole and a bolt. The inserting portion is inserted into the runner via the opening. The pipe channel runs through the head and the inserting portion in an axial direction of the positioning socket. The threaded hole is formed on the head and communicated with the pipe channel. The bolt is adapted to engage with the threaded hole for abutting against the outer surface of the pipe.

The invention concerns a pipe joint formed between a pin section (10) and a box section (20); the pin and box sections each having a tubular pipe section, engaging at respective first ends in end-to-end arrangement and having a seal element partially therebetween, the box section including a collar extending from the first end, the collar being generally cylindrical, axially aligned with the tubular box pipe section and having an inner diameter of the same size as the outer diameter of the pin section, enabling the collar to be placed about the pin section, the pin and the box sections being secured together by means of a plurality of securing means housed in the collar and actuable to exert radial pressure to urge the pin and box into sealing arrangement, the collar (22) of the box section (20) including a test port, comprising a housing atrium, defined by an atrium wall, housing a test plug (60); the housing atrium (61) and the seal element (53) being fluidly linked by a box conduit; the plug comprising a plug body and a plug seal housed between the plug body and the housing atrium wall to seal the housing atrium from atmosphere and having therethrough a plug conduit connectable at a first end to a pressure test apparatus and fluidly linkable at a second end to the box conduit; the plug being moveable between a first position forming a fluid link between the plug conduit and the box conduit, and a second position closing the fluid link.

Provided is a multi-port gas flow rate control apparatus. The multi-port gas flow rate control apparatus includes a gas supply chamber configured to supply a measurement gas input through one gas inflow channel while allowing the measurement gas to diverge into a plurality of flows, a plurality of gas divergence flow channels each having one side connected to the gas supply chamber and configured to transfer the measurement gas flowing through the gas supply chamber to a plurality of gas sensors, respectively, and a gas measurement chamber configured to accommodate the plurality of gas sensors, including the plurality of gas divergence flow channels configured to connect to the gas supply chamber to the plurality of gas sensors to transfer a gas outflow diverging through the gas supply chamber to the plurality of accommodated gas sensors, and configured to discharge the gas outflow sensed by the plurality of gas sensors.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include a coupling mechanism. The coupling mechanism may include a connection section including a first opening, an inner flange, and an outer flange, wherein the connection section is configured to connect to a first pipe, a sleeve portion including a second opening and configured to connect to a second pipe, and a channel extending through the coupling mechanism between the first opening and the second opening, wherein the first opening is angled relative to the second opening, wherein the inner flange includes a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the inner flange includes a width larger than a width of the second end of the inner flange.
