285294100 | Sleeve | 8 |
20100007141 | METHOD OF JOINING A PAIR OF TUBULAR ENDS - A method of joining a pair of tubular ends ( | 01-14-2010 |
20100038901 | Exhaust manifold to housing connection - An improved method and apparatus for mating an exhaust manifold to a mating component, such as a housing, is provided. The exhaust manifold is connected to the housing by a series of weld joints. The apparatus may include a tube member for connecting the exhaust manifold to the housing, and an insert member positioned partially within the housing. In an embodiment, the insert member includes a notch to allow a portion of the insert member to be positioned within the housing and an exterior portion of the insert member to be positioned exterior to the housing. | 02-18-2010 |
20120043755 | System and Method for Relieving Stress at Pipe Connections - A pipe attachment assembly for attaching a pipe to another structure so stresses are reduced within the assembly includes a sleeve positioned either within or outside the pipe which is composed of a material stronger than the pipe material, and an elastomeric bonding material which fills a gap between the pipe and the sleeve. The elastomeric bonding material transfers forces which are externally imposed on the pipe to the sleeve. This reduces bending, compression, tension, or torsion of the pipe in response to external forces, which in turn reduces the risk of a pipe failure at or near the termination or a breach where the pipe forms a joint with other pipes or containers. Various configurations may further improve the transfer of shearing stresses from the pipe to the sleeve, for example varying the width and/or the shear modulus of the elastomeric bonding material along the length of the pipe. | 02-23-2012 |
20130168958 | HEAT-SHRINKABLE TUBE COVERING - A sleeve is provided for covering a pipe joint formed between two pipes that are coupled to one another to form a tube. The sleeve comprises a heat-shrinkable material that is configured to conform to the first and second pipes when heated to cover the pipe joint. | 07-04-2013 |
20150145242 | ALTERNATIVES TO WELDING RETENTION SLEEVES ON STEEL TUBES - A retention sleeve comprising a predetermined material and shape which provides a predetermined tensile capability may be placed about a tube to be disposed in an umbilical without the use of a welded retention sleeve by selecting a high strength glue or epoxy and using that high strength glue or epoxy to affix the retention sleeve at a predetermined position along a length of a tube disposed in an umbilical. | 05-28-2015 |
20150377390 | PIPING COMPONENT AND PIPE - A piping component according to an embodiment includes a first joint member and a second joint member. The first joint member has a first covering portion. The first covering portion covers one of end portions of a bonding unit between the first joint member and a first piping unit, located in an insertion direction of the first piping unit, from a side of a hollow of the first joint member. The second joint member has a second covering portion. The second covering portion covers one of end portions of a bonding unit between the second joint member and a second piping unit, located in an insertion direction of the second piping unit, from a side of a hollow of the second joint member. | 12-31-2015 |
20160076677 | MECHANICAL RESTRAINT MEMBER - A mechanical restraint member for retaining the relative position of a first conduit in a piping system relative to a second conduit in the piping system. The mechanical restraint member has a flexible substrate having a first outer side, a second inner side and first and second axially spaced apart ends, and a first bonding agent provided on at least a portion of the second inner side. | 03-17-2016 |

20130285372 | Method and Device for Connection of Two Pipe Elements for Fluid Transport - The present disclosure describes a device for connection, by means of an injected assembly fluid, of a first and a second pipe elements for transport of liquid or gaseous fluid, the second element having a socket receiving an end of the first element, comprising a diffusion part for diffusion of the injected assembly fluid, the diffusion part being adapted to be arranged on a circumference of the first element and against an edge of the socket, said diffusion part having at least one opening for the injection of assembly fluid into said diffusion part. The diffusion part forms a chamber for collecting said assembly fluid and for distributing it circumferentially. The device comprises directing means allowing to actively direct the assembly fluid towards a connection space between the socket and the first element. | 10-31-2013 |
