FULL-FACE FLARE JOINT FOR LINED PIPING SYSTEM
20190063647 · 2019-02-28 ·

A full-face flare joint for a lined piping system having a connector portion of a metal piping being flared radially outwardly at a predetermined angle to form a pipe lap with a first surface and a second surface. The first surface is configured to engage a pipe flange. Further, a pipe lining extends out of the connector portion and is flared radially outwardly over the second surface of the pipe lap thereby forming a liner flare. A full-face flare component with a bottom portion is attached to the liner flare so that the bottom portion of the component forms an angle of about 90 with an inner surface of the pipe lining.

Tube with coupling

The present invention relates to a tube with coupling according to which liquid leakage and the like can be suppressed as much as possible when couplings are connected. A tube with coupling (10) according to the present invention is a tube with coupling (10) obtained by forming a coupling (30) on a leading end portion (22) of a tube (20) through injection molding, and the leading end portion (22) of the tube (20) is arranged at a position set back from a leading end portion (32) of the coupling (30), at least a portion of the leading end portion (22) of the tube (20) being covered by the coupling (30). It is desirable that a flange (36) is provided so as to protrude outward at a position set back from the leading end portion (32) of the coupling (30) and the leading end portion (22) of the tube (20) is arranged at a position set further back from the flange (36).

Optimized connection assembly between two portions of a cryogenic line, comprising a double sealing barrier, a fluid expansion chamber and a detector for detecting the presence of the fluid in said chamber

A connection assembly between two portions of a line including an inner conduit for transporting a cryogenic fluid, the assembly including two flanges which are respectively arranged at the ends of the line portions and which are configured to be held in contact with one another by virtue of a fixing arrangement. The contact zone between the two flanges includes at least two grooves for positioning seals and at least one conduit opening out, for the one part, between the two seals and, for the other part, into an expansion chamber for the cryogenic fluid. The expansion chamber is arranged in one, or in the vicinity of one, of the first connection flange and the second connection flange. The expansion chamber includes a detector for detecting the presence of the cryogenic fluid in the expansion chamber or a recess configured for the installation of such a detector.

Pipe connection having a reverse hub
10041614 · 2018-08-07 · ·

A pipe connection in which at least one of the flanges has a reverse hub between the outer portion of the flange and the inner portion of the flange that extends outward to form to the weld neck. The reverse hub tapers down toward the sealing face of the flange, rather than away from the face of the flange. This taper may follow a spline curve which is empirically determined to reduce stresses that are caused by rotation of the outer portion of the flange around the gasket. The reverse hub eliminates material that would be required for a positive hub and thereby reduces the weight of the flange. By reducing the stresses resulting from rotation of the outer portion of the flange around the gasket, the thickness of the flange may also be reduced, further reducing the weight of the flange.

Irrigation pipe and method of fabrication
10030797 · 2018-07-24 · ·
