Abstract: A flange connection set includes a modified compact flange, having a channel for external-internal seal tests, coupled to a connecting component, and coupled between the compact flange and the connecting component, there is a KX sealing ring with a radius closer to the radius of the conduit. Different types of keys provide the flange connection the ability to withstand high shear and torsional loads without affecting its operation, while also resisting high bending moment loads and preserving the integrity of the sealing ring and the fasteners.

Abstract: A directional gate type block valve includes a valve body, a gate type straddle, a transmission stem and four seats for process fluid sealing, wherein the transmission stem drives the gate type straddle allowing 3 position options for gate type straddle, directing or even completely sealing the system. This directional gate type block valve provides the exploration system the simplification of using only one equipment for directing the process fluid, besides allowing its use in a wide range of permissible working pressures. Other advantages due to its simple geometry are given by the low cost of manufacture, assembly and test of the directional gate type block valve.
