Wellbore flow monitoring using a partially dissolvable plug
A partially dissolvable plug is to be deployed in a position in a wellbore formed in a subsurface formation. The partially dissolvable plug comprises a first portion comprising a dissolvable material that is to dissolve over time after exposure to a downhole ambient environment in the wellbore and a second portion comprising a non-dissolvable material that is to create a flow restriction as the flow of fluid passes through the partially dissolvable plug. The first portion is to prevent a flow of fluid from downhole to a surface of the wellbore until at least a portion of the dissolvable material is dissolved. A flow rate is to be determined based on a detected change in a downhole attribute that is to change in response to the flow of fluid passing through the partially dissolvable plug after at least a portion of the partially dissolvable plug is dissolved.
Heat exchanger tube plug
A heat exchange plug that plugs the aperture of a tubesheet with a leaking tube while also securing the tube against movement that could damage other tubes of the tubesheet. A cylindrical housing member with two different diameter body section can be inserted so that the wider diameter section is positioned in the aperture of the tubesheet and the smaller diameter section is located in the tube. An eccentric ring at the end of the housing member can engage the tube and prevent rotation as an insert member is advanced into the rear of the housing member via a threaded shank of the insert member that engages a threaded inner bore of the housing member. A ramped surface of the housing member deforms the wall of the larger diameter section of the housing member outwardly to plug the aperture while the smaller diameter section secures the tube in place.
Cover
A cover for a connector, wherein the cover is adapted to be locateable over at least a portion of the connector, and wherein the connector has a fluid pathway formed therethrough. The connector has a first portion and a second portion, and wherein, when the cover is located over the portion of the connector, ingress of impurities into the fluid pathway is prevented.
DRAIN PLUG WITH PERIMETER LABYRINTH FOR CASINGS OF ROTARY ELECTRIC MACHINES AND CORRESPONDING CASING
The present invention relates to a drain plug (100) with a head (200) comprising at least one transversal through-bore (210) and at least one contact surface (220) concentric to the drain plug (100) longitudinal axis, and by a body (300) comprising at least one through-bore (310) adjacent and complementary to the through-bore (210) of the head (200), at least one annular through-channel (320) of perimeter platform (330) and limited by the surface (220). The body (300) also has one or more sets of alternating fluid-conducting channels, formed by the alternation of annular channels (340, 360, 380), of perimeter platforms (330, 350, 370, 390), of longitudinal walls (331, 351, 371), and of longitudinal openings (332, 352, 372, 382). This invention also relates to a corresponding casing for rotating electrical machine.
Push-in Tube Connector Port
A push-in tube connector port for connecting a tube to a pressurized fluid system is provided. The push-in port includes a central recess for receiving the tube, a sealing arrangement inside of the recess, a locking ring engaged within the recess, and a tube gripping ring having an inwardly directed gripping edge. The locking ring has a U-shaped cross-section. A number of circumferentially distributed slots subdivides an outer ring wall of the locking ring into a number of outer ring wall portions configured to be elastically deflected towards the center by the flange of an insertion end opening, when the annular double ring component is pressed into the recess, and to elastically flex back outwardly once the outer ring wall portions have passed the flange such that an upper edge of each of the outer ring wall portions engages an inner surface of the flange to secure the locking ring in the recess.

System and method for installing a manifold plug
The present disclosure relates to an insert and system of installing the same. The insert includes a tapered core and a cylinder. The core releasably secures to an installation device which includes a depth stop or a depth control to control the installation depth of the insert. The insert may be provided in a tray that allows for easier handling of the inserts and installation thereof in installation holes, for example in a hydraulic manifold. In some cases, the core includes a threaded hole to releasably secure the insert to the installation device, thus allowing the installation device to pull the core into the cylinder. The core and cylinder may be made of metallic materials such as steels, steel alloys and others. In some cases the insert can withstand blow out pressures of 40,000 psi or higher.
