  • Publication number: 20080000081
    Abstract: Method for the production of a pressure-bearing part including a reducing piece, especially for housings of fittings, pumps, heat exchangers, distributors, and filters, including the steps of testing a blank for being defect-free, and producing the reducing piece from a blank. Blank is tested for flawlessness (defects) before reducing piece is produced from it. As blank itself has a simple geometry, the test of the blank for flawlessness can be performed in a simple manner. advantageously blank is a section of a pipe or a forging blank from which reducing piece is produced by way of turning, milling, or forging. Test of the blank for flawlessness can be performed by way of a method for nondestructive material testing, preferably by an ultrasonic volume test using a vertical probe.

  • Patent number: 6943299
    Abstract: This invention relates to a device (2) for establishing an electroconductive contact with an especially elongated, for example substantially cylindrical body, for example a pipe or a cable. The inventive device comprises a base body (4) that consists at least partially of an elastic material and that is meant to be put on the body to be contacted. A contact element (22) that is held, when mounted, on a side of the body to be contacted facing the base body (4), is designed to establish an electroconductive connection with the body to be contacted. According to the invention, retainers are integrally formed with the elastic material and substantially positively enclose the contact element (22) at least on two opposite zones of its rim on the side facing away from the base body (4), thereby retaining it on the base body (4).

  • Patent number: 6870107
    Abstract: A device for electrically conductively contacting a sectionally shipped outer conductor of a coaxial cable is provided. The device includes a main body that can be clamped about the cable that is to be contacted. In a non-installed position, the main body is open in a circumferential direction to form ends, which are provided with angled-off or bent-away tongues made at least in part metal. In an installed position, sealing surfaces of elastic material are formed on surfaces of the tongues that face one another. In the installed position, the tongues can be interconnected by at least one screw or bolt. The device also includes a mechanism for limiting a screw-in extent of the screws such that a compression of the elastic material of the sealing surfaces is effected in a defined manner when the screws are tightened.

  • Patent number: 6441303
    Abstract: The invention related to a device (2) to set up an electrically conducting contact, and in particular, of an elongated, illustratively, a substantially cylindrical body, for instance a pipe or a cable, and comprises a base structure (4) to rest against the body (42) to be contacted and a contact element (40) held at a side of the base structure (4) which in the assembly position faces the body (42) to be contacted, this contact element implementing an electrically conducting connection with the body (42) to be contacted. The invention provides adjusting means to adjust the position of the contact element (40) relative to the edges of the base structure (4). The invention reliably precludes, at manufacture of the device (2), that there will be slippage of, or projection by the contact element (40) beyond the edge of the base structure (4) when the contact element (40) is affixed to the base structure (4). This feature simplifies manufacture and saves the time and costs of refinishing work.
