Patent number: 11721232Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method according to which a user is trained in flange and gasket assembly. A simulator models placing a gasket in between a pair of flanges and inserting a plurality of bolts into the pair of flanges. The user simulates tightening one or more of the plurality of bolts, in accordance with a particular tightening pattern, in order to create a proper seal, although the user may tighten the bolt in any order. The simulator provides simulated stress values for each bolt in the plurality of bolts to guide the user in proper flange and gasket assembly. The simulated stress values are based on an empirical, mathematical model and take into account elastic interactions between bolts. The assembly training ends when the user completes the tightening pattern or makes an irreversible error. The user is then provided with a score.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2021Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: TEADIT N.A., INC.Inventors: Jose Carlos Carvalho Veiga, Carlos Daniel Braga Girão Barroso, Igor Meira, Leonardo Rocha de la Roca

Patent number: 10094474Abstract: An isolation gasket that includes a metal core (100) defining an inner serrated annular section (105) that is radially spaced from an outer serrated annular section (110); and an annular groove (115) formed between the inner and outer serrated annular sections; and a first material (135) accommodated in the annular groove (115). In certain embodiments, a second material (125) is coupled to the inner serrated annular section (105); and a third material (130) is coupled to the outer serrated annular section (110). In one embodiment, the second material (125) has a first thickness (160) and the third material (130) has a second thickness (165) that is less than the first thickness (160). In one embodiment, the metal core (100) defines a first inner diameter (180) and the second material defines a second inner diameter (157) that is less than the first inner diameter (180).Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2017Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: Teadit N.A., Inc.Inventor: Jose Carlos Carvalho Veiga

Publication number: 20130313788Abstract: A spiral wound gasket for sealing flanged joints. The spiral wound gasket has improved sealability with a spiral sealing element that includes a metallic strip and a relatively soft filler material, wherein the axial width of the relatively soft filler material is greater than the axial width of the metallic strip. The spiral wound gasket also has improved sealability with a controlled gasket density and in which the metallic strip has a uniform and symmetrical “V” or “W” cross-sectional shape.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2013Publication date: November 28, 2013Applicant: Teadit N.A., Inc.Inventors: Jose Carlos Carvalho Veiga, Nelson Kavanagh

Patent number: 6823579Abstract: The present invention comprises a portable platform (10) for use in gasket manufacture, comprising a shaft connected to a motor and can receive at least one mandrel, and a surface to receive at least one molding tool, the mandrel being activated by the motor to turn in relation to the platform (10) and to the tool, and to move gasket-forming elements, such as metallic or non-metallic strips, among others, to be processed by the tool. Moreover, as much the mandrel as with the tool are replaceable respectively between mandrels and tools with different characteristics. Thus, the same platform (10) may produce different types of gaskets, and, consequently, speed up and facilitate the gasket replacement process.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2002Date of Patent: November 30, 2004Assignee: Manegro Administracao E Participacoes LTDA.Inventor: José Carlos Carvalho Veiga
