摘要： In various embodiments, the stabilizing face ring joint flange and assemblies thereof can be adapted to include a ring joint gasket and resist leaks when a fluid flowing through a pipe at high temperatures and pressures. The stabilizing face ring joint flange assembly with the ring grooves in each flange can be situated in such a way that once full compression is achieved on the ring groove by the gasket, raised faces of the two flanges can meet to ensure that the rotation of the pump or any potential perpendicular loading do not provide a stress on the gasket that would cause the gasket to deform or cause a seal to be lost.

摘要： A system for providing a sterile fluid connection between a first fluid channel and a second fluid channel. The system includes first and second coupling elements located at an orifice of each the first and second fluid channels, respectively. The first and second coupling element each include a foil that may be peeled off their respective orifices. The system additionally includes a connecting element configured to accommodate the first and second coupling elements and to press the orifices of the first and second fluid channels against one another. Additionally, this connecting element has a recess arranged essentially in the plane of the orifices of the fluid channels for passing the foils through the connecting element.

摘要： A flanged joint is described. The flanged joint has a first flange member with a first sealing surface and a second flange member with a second sealing surface. The flanged joint further has a hollow-metal gasket between the first flange member and the second flange member, and a spacer between the first flange member and the second flange member. The spacer defines a minimum distance between the first flange member and the second flange member. The flanged joint can be configured to seal a metal-conveying volume.

摘要： Implementations of the present disclosure relate to a blind flange and a method of installing same for isolating hazardous energy in order to provide a safe environment for workers to conduct maintenance or repair work on a facility. The blind flange has a body that defines one or more modified bores. The one or more modified bores are alignable with flanged-connection apertures of one side of a flanged connection. The one or more modified bores are configured to receive and releasably hold a connection member therein, so as to connect to only one side of the flanged connection. The modified bores allow a blind flanged-connection to be disassembled and reassemble in less time than known blind flanged-connections when one side of the blind flanged-connection is disconnected from the blind flanged-connection. Furthermore, the blind flange of the present disclosure allows the blind flange to remain connected to one side of a flanged connection while the other side is disconnected.

摘要： A fluid-device connecting structure includes a first fluid device having a first connection part, a second fluid device having a second connection part, an annular seal member to connect the first and second connection parts, and a coupling member to keep the first and second connection parts in a connected state. The coupling member includes a first coupling segment and a second coupling segment, each including at one end a first hinge part or a second hinge part. The first and second connection parts each have a cylindrical outer shape. The first coupling segment has a U-like shape having an opening and surrounds the first and second connection parts over a range more than 180 degrees of an entire circumference of each of the first and second connection parts.
