Abstract: Device with valve function which can be brought into and out of a pipeline and parked in the same. The device comprises a channel for throughflowing fluid, a valve (2) which is medium controlled and/or remote-controlled, a parking brake/packer seal unit (9) which with limited force can be brought to bear against the wall of the pipeline, a cylindrical wire anchor (1) with an external diameter which is slightly lesser than the internal diameter of the pipeline and can be brought into pressure contact with the pipeline.

Abstract: Self-driven vehicle for pipelines comprising: a cylindrically designed vehicle body (1) through which and/or around which the pipeline's (10) medium flows, a drive unit (2) on the vehicle body (1) which resiliently bears against the pipeline's (10) internal surface, a hydraulic system which powers the drive module (2), a power supply system for operation of the hydraulic system, and a controller (22) which at least controls the vehicle's movement in the pipeline (10).

Abstract: The shut-off device is a hollow cylinder upon which is disposed a brake for fixing the position of the device in the pipeline and a seal which seals the area between the hollow cylinder and the wall of the pipeline. A valve is positioned in the hollow cylinder which allows flow of the pipeline fluid through the hollow cylinder when open but can be closed to stop the flow of pipeline fluid through the cylinder. The device is movable through the pipeline.

Abstract: A centering apparatus for use by the laying of heavy tubes of relatively large dimensions, especially for centering the spigot end of a tube relatively to the socket end of a positioned tube, and comprising a clamping device with at least two interconnectable members adapted to be attached to the socket end, and a guiding device for slidable guiding of the spigot end into the socket. The guiding device includes a number of brackets mounted to the interconnectable member enclosing the lower peripheral part of the socket end, which brackets project axially from said member and have guiding surfaces forming a chute onto which the tube to be laid down can be lowered to be pushed in centered position towards the adjacent tube end.
