Abstract: A device for gas-tight connection includes: a first connection point with a terminal surface; a second connection point with a stationary, predetermined reference surface of a pipe flange connection, which is arranged relative to the terminal surface by an offset angle which is compensated for by an angular offset compensation; and a flanged disc unit. The first connection point includes a central ball-and-socket joint arrangement as an angular misalignment compensation. The central ball-and-socket joint arrangement has a tube section with a convex distal end region configured to interact in an articulated manner with a concave annular region, corresponding thereto, of the flanged disc unit. A side surface region of the flanged disc unit includes at least one adjusting screw for adapting to the offset angle so as to adjust a local distance to a counter-disc fixedly fastened coaxially to a pipe section adjacent to the convex distal end region.

Abstract: A cable connector housing for hazardous areas includes: a first part; a second part; a first cable gland; and a second cable gland. The first part connects to and separates from the second part. When the first part is connected to the second part a cavity is formed within which a cable connector is housable. The first cable gland connects to the first part. The first cable gland connects to a part of a first cable that is for use in a hazardous area. The second cable gland connects to the second part. The second cable gland connects to part of a second cable that is for use in the hazardous area. The first part, second part, first cable gland, and second cable gland are arranged such that when the first part is connected to the second part, a connector housing is formed that for use in the hazardous area.
