  • Patent number: 10859196
    Abstract: A retractable fitting with a stopcock has a stopcock housing for connection to a pipe or process chamber. The housing has a connection opening into the pipe or process chamber. A shut-off body is rotatable about a pivot axis relative to the stopcock housing, and has a passage hole that merges in an open state of the stopcock into the connection opening of the stopcock housing, the connection opening being closed by the shut-off body in a closed state. A support element in the passage hole is introduced in the open state through the connection opening into the pipe or process chamber. A plurality of flushing lines are operable to conduct a flushing medium, the plurality of flushing lines being accessible from outside of the stopcock and being connected to and/or opening into the passage hole of the shut-off body at least in the closed state of the stopcock.

  • Patent number: 9506787
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for measuring the differential pressure in a flowing fluid. The invention has a housing having two coaxial openings and an inner space. The inner space can be accessed by at least one of the openings. A measuring nozzle is arranged in the housing and has a flow channel with a cross-sectional constriction, and a differential pressure sensor comprising two measuring inlets for sensing a difference between pressures at the measuring inlets. A first one of the measuring inlets is in connection with the flow channel. A second one of the measuring inlets is in connection outside of the measuring nozzle with the inner space, and with a shut-off body. The shut-off body includes the measuring nozzle and is rotatably mounted in the housing about a rotation axis. The shut-off body, in a first rotational angle position, connects the flow channel to the two openings, and in a second rotational angle position blocks a flow between the two openings.

  • Patent number: 9335189
    Abstract: A device for introducing an object into a pipe is disclosed. The device includes a guide that is disposed on a pipe and a positioning unit that is movably guided on the pipe in an introduction direction by means of the guide. The positioning unit that supports a carrier that can be introduced into the pipe by moving the positioning device in the introduction direction. The positioning device is coupled to the pipe with a linear one-way clutch operable in a blocked state when the positioning device is moved against the introduction direction.
