A swivel flange fitting for a high-pressure flow line has a fitting body, a hub, and a rotatable flange. The fitting body has a central conduit with internal threads proximate to a terminus of the central conduit. The hub is threaded into the fitting body. The hub has a central conduit, a portion having a nominal outer diameter, and an end. The portion has external threads engaging the fitting body internal threads. The end has an enlarged outer diameter relative to the nominal outer diameter, a flange-type union face, and an inward-facing shoulder. The rotatable flange has a central passage having an outward-facing shoulder and a plurality of openings adapted to accommodate threaded connectors for applying axial load to the flange. The flange outward-facing shoulder is adapted to bear on the hub inward-facing shoulder to transmit axial load applied to the flange from the flange to the hub.

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.

A pipe fitting for conveying a medium, including an inlet at which the medium enters in a first direction perpendicular to an inlet cross section, and an outlet at which the medium leaves in a second direction perpendicular to an outlet cross section, wherein the two directions enclose an angle. The pipe fitting has three parts, wherein in each case two parts bearing against one another at a contact point, wherein in each case two parts at their contact point being rotatable relative to one another about the axis of the flow direction at the contact point in order to change the angle, and wherein the two contact points being spaced apart from one another in the flow direction.

A swivel joint includes a first pipe section and a second pipe section. The pipe sections may define a flow path via which fluid passes through the swivel joint. One or more surfaces proximate a junction of the first pipe section and the second pipe section may be selectively coated to resist wear from erosion, corrosion, and or abrasion.

A firefighting monitor that has a first section, a second section joined to the first section by a first pivot connection, and a plurality of ball bearings positioned in the first pivot connection between a pair of bearing seats. Wherein, the bearing seats define an arc of contact with each of the plurality of ball bearings, the center of the arc of contact defining a tangent angled with respect to a flow axis defined by the first pivot connection.

A thermal expansion compensating device has a conduit with a first opening and a second opening for connection to a first pipe and a second pipe of a hot water system, respectively, the first and second pipes being formed by removing a section from a length of pipe of the hot water system. A pre-tensioning force is applied to the device to axially displace the first opening from the second opening until after connection of the openings of the pipes. A resiliently deformable pipe segment defines a portion of the conduit between the first opening and the second opening and is resiliently deformed to a tensioned position by the application of the pre-tensioning force. Once the hot water system is activated, the pipes axially thermally expand such that the first opening moves towards the second opening and the pipe segment moves from the tensioned position towards a rest position decreasing the stress on the device.

Provided is a swivel joint for flare system of offshore plant which can be semi-permanently operated even with grease injected once.

The swivel joint for flare system of offshore plant proposed comprises a cylindrical body; and first and second connecting members coupled to opposite sides of the cylindrical body, respectively.

The swivel joint has an advantage that it can be actually semi-permanently used with the grease initially injected and then the sealing made.

A conduit coupling includes a first connector at a first end of the conduit coupling, a second connector at a second end of the conduit coupling, and a stem between the first connector and the second connector. A first end of the stem is attached to the first connector. A second end of the stem is attached to the second connector. The stem is bent at a particular bend angle along a bend plane. The first connector includes an indicator that indicates an orientation of the bend plane.
