摘要:
A weak link arrangement (1) designed for location on an umbilical (6, 7) extending on the seabed between respective structures potentially subjected to environmental hazards, like being snapped by an iceberg, which umbilical includes communicating fluid pipes and electric cables, is described. The weak link arrangement (1) includes a seabed frame (2) supporting an umbilical having a weak link multiconnecting structure (3) (UTA) installed in line, which weak link multiconnecting structure (3) (UTA) ensures continuous communication through the fluid pipes and electric cables until emergency disconnection takes place. Such disconnection is initiated by accidental pull in the umbilical, which pull activates disconnecting means and cable severing means.

A frangible closure coupling is used with or on pipe of a tank that contains a potentially dangerous fluid, such as liquid natural gas. The closure coupling mitigates the uncontrolled release of fluid from the tank in the event of a rupture of a pipe attached to the tank.

A bi-directional hose break-away assembly includes a first adapter section and a second adapter section that are operatively connected by a hose section. A first valve assembly is disposed within the first adapter section and a second valve assembly is disposed within the second adapter section. The first and second valve assemblies are operatively connected by a stem connector so that the first and second valve assemblies will close in the event a maximum tensile load is exceeded, thereby preventing spillage of liquefied chemicals.

The present invention relates to a container for holding viscous substance. More particularly the present invention relates to a squeezable tube (1) with an enclosable head (3). It is an object of the present invention to provide a tube which is easily recyclable and has relatively better stress crack resistance and squeezability. Surprisingly it has been found by the way of present invention that a mixture of Linear Low Density Polyethylene, Linear Medium Density Polyethylene and Ethylene Vinyl Acetate when used in certain weight percentage gives both the stress-crack resistance and the squeezability required for making a tube integral with head/cap. The tube of the present invention is recyclable together with the head/cap, thus making the process sustainable.

A control valve for connection units for flexible hoses comprises a plurality of petals rotatable between a position of complete opening and a position of complete closing, wherein rotatable petals of different shape and sizes alternate in pairs along the circumference of the connection unit. The petals of smaller size have a substantially triangular shape with straight lateral sides and a rounded end which fluid-tightly abut against corresponding straight lateral, sides and curved parts of the petals of larger size when the valve is closed.
摘要:
A control valve for connection unit for flexible pipes, comprising a plurality of sectors, (slices or petals), rotatable between a complete opening position and a complete closing position is described. The aforesaid plurality of rotatable sectors comprises at least two series of rotating sectors of different shape and dimensions disposed in an alternate way along the circumference of the connection unit. The smaller sectors can be controlled in such a way to close slower than the bigger ones. The shape and dimensions of the rotational sectors are such to consent a partial overlapping of the borders of the adjacent sectors for a better tightness between the sectors themselves.
摘要:
A device for automatic closure of control valves in separable connection units for flexible pipes is described. The device comprises, for every sector of the control valve, a slidable body operating on the valve sector to cause closing and opening rotation thereof, elastic means housed within a first chamber to activate the sliding body to cause the closing rotation of said valve sector, a braking fluid housed in a second chamber to brake the movement of said sliding body in the closing direction and fluid dynamic communication means between said chambers to permit the controlled transfer of the braking fluid from the second chamber to the first chamber during the movement of the sliding body in the closing direction. The fluid dynamic communication means comprise a passage duct with an enlarged part and a cartridge with external grooves of variable length inserted in said enlarged part.
摘要:
A high-pressure fluid conduit that conducts high-pressure fluid from a high-pressure fluid source to a high-pressure fluid container through a hose unit during open or normal operation. This high-pressure fluid conduit has a safety feature that is activated when the high-pressure fluid conduit fails due to exposure to a predetermined force. The safety feature closes off the flow of high-pressure fluid from the high-pressure fluid source and closes off the escape of high-pressure fluid from the hose unit that entered the hose unit during open or normal operation. In addition, when the hose unit fails, fluid flow from the high-pressure fluid source and high-pressure fluid flow from the high-pressure fluid container is prevented.
摘要:
The present invention relates to safety mechanisms for high-pressure fluid delivery systems. Particularly, the invention relates to a breakaway device which prevents uncontrolled “whipping” of the conduit ends upon a rupture. A heat dissipating coupling, permitting operation of the conduit system at desired temperatures, is also included, as is a breakaway device provided with such a heat dissipation feature.
摘要:
A break-away coupling within a fuel dispensing line configured to arrest the flow of fluid when broken away. The coupling includes a first end configured to engage a fluid dispensing nozzle and a second end configured to engage a fluid dispensing system. Then, a break-away body is disposed between the first end and the second end and the coupling includes a sensor configured to determine if the first end is separated from the second end in any manner. Such a separation may be caused by a large force applied to one end, such as a truck driving away with the fueling nozzle will engaged in the fuel talk. Thus, upon separation at the break-away point, the sensor may trigger a shut-off procedure at the fuel dispensing system.
