Joint for submarine connections
The present invention concerns a rotatable coupling (60) for connecting pipes, comprising a first hollow female element (61) suited to be connected, for example, to a first pipe portion (51), and a second tubular male element (6) with a first end portion at least partially housed inside the first female element (61) so as to define an inner space for the passage of a fluid, and with a second end portion suited to be connected to a second pipe portion (52). Said first and said second element (61, 6) can be rotated with respect to each other, said second tubular male element (6) comprising a first abutment surface (6S). Furthermore, the rotatable coupling (60) comprises a third hollow tubular element (12) housed inside the first female element and provided with a second abutment surface (1S) substantially opposite the first abutment surface (6S) so as to define a first interspace (I), and the third tubular hollow element (12) can be translated along a direction substantially orthogonal to the first and the second abutment surface (6S, 1S) between a closed configuration, in which the first and the second abutment surface (6S, 1S) are positioned at a minimal mutual distance, and an open configuration, in which the first and the second abutment surface (6S, 1S) are positioned at a distance that exceeds said minimal mutual distance.
Gas Pipe Joint
A gas pipe joint contains: a connection pipe, a first threaded pipe, and a second threaded pipe. The connection pipe includes a first part and a second part, the first part has a first threaded orifice, and the second part has a second threaded orifice. The first threaded pipe includes a first coupling section, a first nut section, and a second coupling section. The second threaded pipe includes a second nut section and a third coupling section, the second nut section has a second screwing portion, and the third coupling section has at least one second recessed portion and a second groove. The third coupling section has a second shoulder. The second shoulder has a second lower gasket. The first groove has two first loops, and the second groove has two second loops.
Connecting tubular members
A tubular connector includes a first tubular member that includes a female end; a second tubular member including a male end insertable into the female end, each of the first and second tubular members including a bore that extends there through; a clamp positionable about the first and second tubular members to urge the male and female ends into sealing engagement; a housing that at least partially encloses the clamp such that a chamber is defined between the clamp and the housing; and a plate positionable between an axial end of the clamp and the housing.
HOSE CONNECTOR
A hose connector has: a cap, a connecting pipe and an assembly pipe. The cap has an inner ring and an outer ring, and the inner ring is provided with an inner threaded hole. The cap further has a socket hole connected with the inner threaded hole, the outer ring is provided with an outer threaded section. The connecting pipe has an inserting portion at one end and a first threaded portion at another end. The inserting portion has a neck section and a stopping ring. The inserting portion is disposed in the socket hole of the cap. The stopping ring comprises at least one protrusion facing the groove. The assembly pipe has a through hole and a convex ring at one end and a second threaded portion at another end. The second threaded portion of the assembly pipe engages with the inner threaded hole of the cap.
HOSE CONNECTOR
A hose connector has a first connecting joint, a second connecting joint, and a connecting duct. The first connecting joint comprises an inner neck rim having an inner threaded aperture and a containment space connecting to the inner threaded aperture. The first connecting joint further comprises a threaded outer wall, and a bottom surface of the neck rim has a plurality of engaging grooves. The second connecting joint comprises a hollow base having a neck section connected to a lip, and the neck section is configured for insertion in the containment space of the first connecting joint. A top surface of the lip has a plurality of engaging protrusions pushing against the neck rim or engaging with the engaging groove. The connecting duct comprises an outer threaded section and an enlarged flange, and the connecting duct is mounted through the neck section and the lip.
DYNAMIC SLEEVE SEAL FITTINGS
A dynamic sleeve seal fitting may comprise a first sleeve having a tongue portion, a second sleeve having a groove configured to receive the tongue portion, and a first seal member coupled to at least one of the tongue portion or the groove and configured to generate a seal between the first sleeve and the second sleeve in response to inserting the tongue portion into the groove.
HOSE CONNECTOR
A faucet connector has a first tubular body is provided with an assembly aperture, and the first tubular body is convexly disposed on the inner wall of the assembly aperture. A second tubular body is formed with an inserting portion at one end, and the inserting portion is penetrated by an inner threaded aperture. The second tubular body is disposed at the assembly aperture. A third tubular body is formed with a ring at one end, the third tubular body has a threaded portion at the other end, and the third tubular body is placed at the first tubular body inside the assembly aperture of the tubular body. The threaded portion of the third tubular body is locked to the inner threaded hole of the second tubular body, so that the ring fits the inserting portion at both ends of the lip.
MECHANICAL SEAL FOR SEALING A FLUID-CONDUCTING CHANNEL AND/OR SPACE AND METHOD FOR MONITORING THE WEAR OF A MECHANICAL SEAL
The disclosure relates to a mechanical seal for sealing a fluid-conducting channel and/or space extending in a stationary component and/or a rotating component from the environment, having a slide ring which is supported in the axial direction against a counter ring in a sealing manner and, to compensate for wear on its front-end seal face or on a counter face, is supported against the counter ring elastically and movably in the axial direction with this seal face;
having a position sensor to detect the position of the slide ring in the axial direction. The disclosure is characterized in that a temperature sensor is provided on a leakage side of the seal face facing away from the channel and/or space, which sensor at least indirectly detects a temperature which is dependent on the magnitude of a leakage flow passing from the channel and/or space via the seal face.
ADJUSTABLE MULTI-PORT CONNECTOR AND VALVE
A multi-fitting rotatable fluid connection apparatus comprising a fluid entry fitting and first and second fluid discharge fittings. The fluid entry fitting comprises a first end connector threaded for attachment to a fluid source, and first and second distribution connectors. The first fluid discharge fitting has a first intake connector which receives fluid from the first distribution connector. A first rotation member is coupled between the first intake connector and the first distribution connector such that the first fluid discharge fitting is rotatable about a first axis of rotation. The second fluid discharge fitting has a second intake connector which receives fluid from the second distribution connector. A second rotation member is coupled between the second intake connector and the second distribution connector such that the second fluid discharge fitting is rotatable about a second axis of rotation.
Sealing material and joint
A first projection is formed on the outer periphery of a bulb part, a second projection is formed on the socket rear end of the bulb part, a tapered part is formed with a decreasing diameter from the inner periphery of a heel part to the inner periphery of the second projection, and a third projection is formed on the tapered part.
