Arrangement and a method for inserting and removing a head of a measuring device to and from a process space
An arrangement and method are disclosed for inserting and removing a head of a measuring device to and from a process space. The arrangement includes a measuring device with a measuring head and a retractor tool connected to a valve member. The retractor tool includes rails, a cradle for receiving the measuring device and arranged to slide along the rails, and a driving mechanism for moving the cradle. A valve lock mechanism prevents opening of the valve member if the measuring device is not at a location barring a fluid flow from the process space, and the head of the measuring device is insertable to the process space when the measuring device is received in the cradle.

Connecting device and tapping assembly as well as a container and method for beverage dispensing
Device 5 for connecting a gas line 6 to a bag-in-container type of container 3, comprising a first 61 and a second part 62, movably connected to said first part 61, wherein one of the first or second part 61, 62 comprises a coupling opening 60 with coupling elements 67 for connecting the device 5 to a part of a bag-in-container type container 3 extending inside coupling opening 60. The connecting device 5 comprises a connecting element 70, movable between an extended position wherein the connecting element 70 extends partly inside coupling opening 60 and a retracted position in which the connecting element 70 extends less or not into coupling opening 60, the connecting device 5 further comprising a mechanism 72 for moving the connecting element 70 between the extended and the retracted position by relative movement of first and second parts 61, 62.
Articulating drill method and apparatus for cutting openings in nested strings of underwater piping and or tubing for overturned wells or platforms
A method and apparatus for angularly drilling during a tapping procedure into a pressurized multiple strings of coaxially situated tubulars for wells and/or platforms which have overturned wherein the tapping occurs underwater via a diver or remotely operated vehicle.
Structure of nozzle for fluid tank piping
A structure whereby a piping nozzle can be simply attached to a tank body is disclosed. A cylinder of a nozzle body is inserted through the interior and exterior of the tank body via a nozzle body insertion hole in the tank body. A skirt is provided on an end portion of the cylinder, and expands annularly from the end portion of the cylinder in the interior of the tank body. A sealing member is interposed between an inner surface of the tank body and the skirt around the nozzle body insertion hole. A spacer member is disposed on an outer surface of the tank body around the cylinder. By tightening a nut on a male screw of the cylinder of the nozzle body, a portion of the tank body around the nozzle body insertion hole is sandwiched by the skirt of the nozzle body and the spacer member.
Above ground water tank fill/drain system
A trench is dug under an above ground water storage tank either before erection of the walls or after the wall is erected. A (rectangular) sump is preferably made of ? inch steel. It serves as a conduit from an inner tank liner port to an outside tank fill or drain port. The system eliminates hoses hung over the top edge of the tank wall. A pump can fill the tank from the outer port. The tank can be drained using head pressure of the water and/or a pump.
