The present invention relates to a sampler for taking samples from a molten metal bath, particularly a molten steel bath, the sampler comprising: a carrier tube having an immersion end; a sample chamber assembly arranged on the immersion end of the carrier tube, the sample chamber assembly comprising a cover plate and a housing, wherein the housing comprises an immersion end having an opening; an inflow conduit having a first end for receiving molten metal and a second end, opposite the first end, wherein the second end is in communication with the opening, wherein the opening is configured to receive the molten metal from the inflow conduit; a measuring head, wherein the sample chamber and the second end of the inflow conduit are at least partly arranged in the measuring head; and a de-oxidant material arranged along a central axis of the inflow conduit, wherein at least part of the de-oxidant material is arranged near the second end of the inflow conduit inside the measuring head, and wherein the inflow conduit comprises first coupling means, arranged on the second end of the inflow conduit, wherein the de-oxidant material comprises second coupling means, to interact with the first coupling means on the inflow conduit to anchor the de-oxidant material in a position along the central axis of the inflow conduit. The invention also relates to a sampler for taking samples from a molten metal bath, particularly a molten steel bath, the sampler comprising:
a carrier tube having an immersion end;
a sample chamber assembly arranged on the immersion end of the carrier tube, the sample chamber assembly comprising a cover plate and a housing, wherein the housing comprises an immersion end having an opening;
an inflow conduit having a first end for receiving molten metal and a second end, opposite the first end, wherein the second end is in communication with the opening, wherein the opening is configured to receive the molten metal from the inflow conduit;
a measuring head, wherein the sample chamber and the second end of the inflow conduit are at least partly arranged in the measuring head; and
a metal bushing, wherein the metal bushing coupling the inflow conduit to the sample chamber.

An arcuate sweep elbow pipe connector section is disclosed as part of the piping system used to deliver water from a source to a fire sprinkler head. The arcuate sweep elbow pipe connector section is integrally formed at one end with a first connecting section and integrally formed at a section end with a second connection section. The connecting sections are positioned ninety degrees relative to each other and the arcuate sweep elbow pipe connector section optimizes water flow through both connecting sections.

A bioinert piping (1) that has a flow path (2) provided inside and a main body portion (10) between end portions (8, 8) includes a resin tube (4) that forms an inner wall of the flow path (2) over an entire length of the flow path (2), and a metal tube (6) that accommodates the resin tube (4) inside so as to cover the outer peripheral surface of the resin tube (4) over at least an entire length of the main body portion (10). The metal tube (6) is plastically deformed toward an inner side so that the outer peripheral surface of the resin tube (4) and an inner peripheral surface of the metal tube (6) are in liquid-tight contact with each other.

A single piece structural connector is provided that includes a single machined aluminum piece having first and second circular ends including a plurality of bolt holes and a center hole. The connector also includes an alignment dowel positioned on the center hole. The alignment dowel is configured to tightly fit into a center hole of a pipe plate.

An improved flow conduit with gradually expanding caliber is described, where the conduit radius r grows with conduit length 1 so that the conductance remains constant or r.sup.4/l is constant, or alternatively, where the flow is near constant conductance flow, where or r.sup.n/l is constant, where n>4. The radius can expand over a portion of the conduit.

A vibration suppressing piping member suppresses vibration caused by a pulsating discharged gaseous fluid. The piping member includes a tubular portion and flange portions at both ends of the tubular portion. A bent portion is formed between the two flange portions. The two flange portions are directly connected to each other.

Cryogenic turbopump feed line, comprising a main channel able to transport a cryogenic fluid, a plurality of secondary channels parallel to and disposed around the main channel in which the plurality of secondary channels are disposed on the periphery of an external perimeter of the main channel.

An improved arcuate sweep elbow pipe connector section having an increased flow capacity and is a replacement for conventional ninety degree elbows as part of the piping system used to deliver water from a source to a fire sprinkler head. The arcuate sweep elbow pipe connector section is integrally formed at one end with a first connecting section and integrally formed at a section end with a second connection section. The connecting sections are positioned ninety degrees relative to each other and the arcuate sweep elbow pipe connector section optimizes water flow through both connecting sections.
