  • Publication number: 20230184611
    Abstract: A connection socket for fluid-conducting line systems, and including a fluid channel extending along a fluid channel axis. The fluid channel may be connected to guide channels on at least a first and second connection ends of the connection socket. A measurement section is located between the first and second connection ends and a sensor system is provided therein to measure the pressure of a medium flowing within the fluid channel. The sensor system includes a connection interface for connecting to a control unit and measuring pressure in the fluid channel. For pressure measurement, at least two strain measurement sensors are arranged around the fluid channel axis on an outer wall of the measurement section. A control unit may be connected to the sensor system for measuring the pressure of a fluid in the connection socket.

  • Patent number: 11491526
    Abstract: A shaping tool for connecting to a shaping device for deforming a portion of a workpiece. The shaping tool includes a clamping device having multiple clamping segments and a compressing head having a depression on one end for forming a portion of the workpiece. The compression head and the clamping device being integrally connected to each other, circumferentially, as a wholly exchangeable single tool unit and being axially movable relative to each other. The compression head additionally, on an opposing side from the depression, an attachment feature for connecting the single tool unit to a shaping piston of a shaping device.

  • Patent number: 10655763
    Abstract: A pipe connection for connecting metal thin-walled pipeline. The pipeline has a shaped connecting segment that increases from the end of the connecting segment in the form of a frustum forming a circumferential sealing surface and a shoulder defining a stop surface adjacent to the sealing surface. The pipe connection also includes a connection stub having a connection thread and a connection bore, which decreases in size and defines a circumferential connection surface for contacting the sealing surface. A union threaded part includes a clamping thread and a passage opening, which has, on the inner circumference, a circumferential clamping surface for contacting the stop surface. The cone angle of the connecting segment in the region of the sealing surface and the cone angle of the connection bore in the region of the connection surface are in the range of about 38° to 50°.

  • Patent number: 8745869
    Abstract: A screwed pipe connection for connecting a pipeline including a connection end having a formed wall region. The screwed pipe connection includes a connection part and a union joint part. Proceeding from the end face of the connection end of the pipeline, an outside cross-section of the pipeline increases and is larger than the nominal outside cross-section, then decreases again. Proceeding from the end face, a clear inside cross-section of the connection end is larger than the nominal inside cross-section and decreases to the nominal inside cross-section. The wall thickness on the end face is smaller than the nominal wall thickness, and wherein an inner material difference, resulting from the deviation of the inside cross-section from the nominal inside cross-section, and an outer material difference, resulting from the deviation of the outside cross-section from the nominal outside cross-section, deviate from one another by a maximum of 30 percent.
