Abstract: A sealing system including a first end and a second end with flexible bellows extending therebetween. The first end includes a base plate with an inner ring having an inner diameter. The inner ring is configured to receive a pipe therethrough. The pipe has an outer diameter, which is smaller than the inner diameter of the inner ring. The bellows of the sealing system has a first length in a first position and second length in a second position. Upon axial expansion of the pipe, the bellows is configured to move from the first position to the second position. The sealing system may also comprise a mechanical protective element, such as a shroud which extends around the bellows. Movement of the bellows can be further limited with rods extending from the shroud to a surrounding substrate or a cable fixing a maximum distance between the pipe and the shroud.

Abstract: A flexible pipe loop including three flexible tube members: a first flexible tube member connected to a pipe run, a second flexible tube member connected to the first tube member, and a third flexible tube member connected to the second flexible tube member, the second flexible tube member and the third flexible tube member arranged such that they are substantially parallel. The configuration of the three flexible tube members permits six degrees of freedom of the flexible pipe loop.

Abstract: A flexible pipe loop for use in a pipe run, which is divided at allocation along its run, said loop comprising: a first flexible tube member comprising a first and second open end, wherein the first open end is to be connected to the pipe run at the divided location such that the first flexible tube member is in fluid communication with the pipe run; a second flexible tube member comprising a first and second open end, wherein the first open end is connected to and in fluid communication with the second open end of the first flexible tube member; a third flexible tube member comprising a first and second open end, wherein the first open end is connected to and in fluid communication with the second open end of the second flexible tube member such that the third flexible tube member is disposed substantially in parallel with the second flexible tube member, wherein the second open end of the third flexible tube member is to be connected to and in fluid communication with the pipe run; wherein the first flexibl

Abstract: A pipe guide is described for providing axial alignment to two pipes connected by an expansion joint. The pipe guide comprises a pipe guide sleeve that covers the expansion joint and is connected at its first end to the first pipe. It also comprises a guide ring that is connected to the second pipe and slidably engages the interior of the pipe guide sleeve. In one embodiment, the pipe guide also comprises restraint rods to limit the axial extension and compression of the pipe guide.
