Abstract:
A pipe end protector for protecting pipe threads provided on a female pipe end of a pipe component for exploration and production of a hydrocarbon well, said pipe end protector comprising a main body and an annular flexible axial lip seal, wherein the main body is made from a first polymeric material having a first elastic modulus, and the lip seal is made from a second polymeric material having a second elastic modulus which is lower than the first elastic modulus.
Abstract:
A magnetic quick connect for a fluid delivery system includes a male coupling member and a female coupling member. The male coupling member defines a first outer fluid communication path and includes a first magnetic material. A first inner member is disposed within the first outer fluid communication path and defines a first inner communication path. The female coupling member defines a second outer fluid communication path and includes a second magnetic material. A second inner member is disposed within the second outer fluid communication path and defines a second inner communication path. The male and female coupling members are detachably held together by an attractive force between the first and second magnetic materials such that the first and second outer communication paths are held in fluid communication, and the first and second inner communication paths are held in fluid communication.
Abstract:
A plug-in coupling for a pipe, especially for water conduits, includes a coupling sleeve receiving the pipe end, includes a sealing ring which is inserted into the coupling sleeve, and includes a locking ring which is mounted upstream of the sealing ring in the plug-in direction of the pipe end and forms retaining claws which protrude with respect to the pipe end and are inclined in the plug-in direction. The plug-in coupling also includes an annular body which is similarly mounted upstream of the sealing ring and is supported axially in the plug-in direction in relation to the coupling sleeve. The annular body includes a protective ring for surrounding the face end of the pipe end from the outside, which protective ring is connected via a predetermined breaking connection.
Abstract:
A protective cap assembly for hydraulic ports of a component includes a plurality of caps, each cap of the plurality of caps installable over a hydraulic port of the component, and a web interconnecting the plurality of caps. A hydraulic system component includes a plurality of hydraulic ports configured for a fluid flow therethrough and a protective cap assembly for the plurality of hydraulic ports. The protective cap assembly includes a plurality of caps, each cap of the plurality of caps installable over a hydraulic port of the component and a web interconnecting the plurality of caps.
Abstract:
A fluid transmission fitting (100) is described comprising a flat-faced female coupler (47) with a frontal annular seal (400) to protect from the introduction of impurities, when uncoupled, during the step of coupling-uncoupling and when coupled to a flat-faced male coupler (48).
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a quick release end cap device for manually attaching to, or removal from, a hose line, pipeline or pipeline termination bank. The quick release end cap device is useful to identify the contents of the hose line, pipeline, or pipeline termination bank. The end cap device is interchangeable among and between hoses, pipelines and pipeline termination banks. The end cap is further advantageous in that it does not require any tools and is designed to capture drips when the quick release end cap is attached to the pipeline, hose line, or pipeline termination bank. The end cap device comprises a generally cylindrical housing, a cavity area on the housing designed for insertion of an interchangeable identification card, and a recess within the housing to engage a drip pad. The housing includes at least one flexible locking tab to facilitate the quick release feature of the end cap device. The identification card is reusable and adaptable to visually display identification information about a pipeline, hose line, or pipeline termination bank when the quick release end cap is applied to the termination end of a hose line, pipeline, or pipeline termination bank.
Abstract:
A positive completion coupler insert (100) configured to be inserted into a coupler (150) is provided according to the invention. The coupler insert (100) includes a conduit support insert (110) configured to be retained in a coupler bore (151) of the coupler (150) and a conduit support (140) configured to fit into and be retained by the conduit support insert (110). The conduit support (140) is configured to generate a first audible sound when inserted to a first insertion point in the conduit support insert (110) and is configured to generate a second audible sound when inserted to a second insertion point.
Abstract:
A lock member capable of contacting an engaging projection of an inserted pipe section from a direction of the pipe axis and relatively rotatably attachable between an annular wall portion of a receiving pipe section and the engaging projection of the inserted pipe section includes engaging stopper portions projecting therefrom for contacting an inward surface of the annular wall portion from the direction of the pipe axis. The annular wall portion has attachment/detachment recesses formed therein for allowing inserting and removing movements of the engaging stopper portions in the direction of the pipe axis. An elastic urging member is provided between an extending portion projecting from the lock member to the outside of the pipe through an inner peripheral surface of the annular wall portion and the outer peripheral surface of the inserted pipe section, and an outward surface of the annular wall portion.
Abstract:
To mount a partition cover (2) in a pipe joint (1), a nut (12) is screwed onto a joint body (11) to sandwich the partition cover (2) between the joint body and the nut. At this time, the partition cover is supported so as not to press a sleeve (13). As such, an opening (1a) of the pipe joint is sealed while preventing the sleeve from being deformed due to the partition cover being mounted.
Abstract:
A coupling device for connecting a first fluid line to a second fluid line may include a first connecting piece having a first outer latching contour on its outside and may be connected to at least one of the first fluid line and the first outer latching contour. The coupling device may also include a second connecting piece having a second outer latching contour on its outside and being connected to at least one of the second fluid line and the second outer latching contour. A sleeve may also be provided in which both connecting pieces may be inserted on opposite ends thereof. The sleeve may have inner latching contours on its inner side, the inner latching contours being complementary to the outer latching contours and latching with the outer latching contours when the connecting pieces are inserted. The sleeve may be enclosed by a protective cover.
