  • Patent number: 4598856
    Abstract: A process of making round tubes covered on the inside with a sleeve of a thickness on the order of 20 to 30% of the total thickness of the tubes. The components of the tube consist of steel of strong mechanical characteristics and of an interior of stainless steel or a noble alloy.

  • Patent number: 4592950
    Abstract: The invention concerns a composite assembly forming a thermal protection or dissipation screen comprising a hot wall and a cold wall, wherein it includes between said hot wall and said cold wall at least two adjacent elements called vaporizer superheaters of a refractory material, each comprising within itself a socalled reactive substance capable of releasing at a given temperature specific to each element a non flammable gas or vapor, each of said elements being separated from the other by a wall sealed from the temperature of release of vapor or gas of the element located the closest to said hot wall but capable of becoming porous as soon as such temperature is exceeded, each element due to the presence of said reactive substance evolving from the vaporizer function to the superheater function depending on development of the thermal aggression to which it is submitted.

  • Patent number: 4586693
    Abstract: The apparatus comprises a disk shaped shut-off flap located in the passage of a main body. The shut-off flap is mounted such to a rocking shaft that the flap can be lifted off its seat during one phase of movement of the rocking shaft and may be rotated into an open position during a further phase of movement of the rocking shaft. The operating means comprises a linear drive in the shape of a control rod including a control groove. A follower and driving means engages the control groove and the shut-off flap. Accordingly the shut-off flap is guided for above lift off and rotating movements. This linear drive allows an impeccable sealing between the inner space of the shut-off apparatus and the environment.
