Publication number: 20250290780Abstract: A device for arranging on a fluid-conducting line and for attaching a flowmeter, in particular an ultrasonic flowmeter, for detecting a measurement variable of the fluid conducted by the line has a first and a second connection, and a measurement region arranged between the first connection and the second connection. The first connection, the measurement region, and the second connection define a flow path for the fluid through the device, and a flow-influencing element arranged in and/or on the flow path is configured to cause fluid flowing into the device via the first connection with a substantially laminar flow to have a substantially turbulent flow in the measurement region.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2023Publication date: September 18, 2025Applicants: Sartorius Stedim Biotech GmbH, Levitronix GmbHInventors: Matthias Bode, Norbert Aue, Edgar Hoffmann, Maciej Bober

Publication number: 20250277686Abstract: A system for detecting a measurement variable of a fluid being conducted in a fluid-conducting line, having a flowmeter for detecting the measurement variable, a flow-through device for arranging on the fluid-conducting line and for attaching the flowmeter. The flowmeter has a first and second connection and a measurement region which is arranged between the first connection and the second connection and which can be coupled to the flowmeter. The first connection, the measurement region, and the second connection define a flow path for the fluid through the flow-through device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2023Publication date: September 4, 2025Applicant: Sartorius Stedim Biotech GmbHInventors: Matthias Bode, Norbert Aue, Sina Götemann, Ana Raquel Santos de Matos Fortuna, Svenja Firneisen

Patent number: 11668418Abstract: A connection device has a line portion having, at its end, a radially outwardly projecting abutment flange for abutting against a corresponding abutment flange of a further line portion which is to be coupled to the line portion, and a ring-segment chain comprising a plurality of ring segments connected to one another in a pivotable manner in a common ring plane, wherein the ring-segment ends which form the chain ends can be latched to one another to give a ring-form connection clamp. The line portion is designed in the form of a tubular connection stub with first thread means spaced apart axially from the abutment surface of its abutment flange and in that each ring segment has a radially inwardly projecting clamping flange and second thread means, which are spaced apart axially from said clamping flange and correspond to the first thread means.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2021Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: Sartorius Stedim Biotech GmbHInventors: Norbert Aue, Sebastian Handt, Sebastian Purmann, Volker Limpert

Patent number: 11480279Abstract: The invention relates to an annular connection clamp with a first clamping flange (22) which protrudes radially inwards and with an axial counter bearing (24) which is spaced from the clamping flange and which is made of a first and a second half-ring segment (20), each half-ring segment having a first and a second segment end. The first segment end of the first half-ring segment (20) has latching means (281) of a first type, and the second segment end of the second half-ring segment has corresponding latching means (282) of a second type, said latching means being pushed into each other in a tangential direction, thereby being latchable together. The second segment end of the half-ring segment (20) has latching means (282) of a second type, and the first segment end of the second half-ring segment (20) has latching means (281) of a first type, said latching means being pushed into each other in a tangential direction, thereby being latchable together.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2017Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: Sartorius Stedim Biotech GmbHInventors: Norbert Aue, Sebastian Handt, Sebastian Purmann, Volker Limpert

Patent number: 11193613Abstract: The invention relates to a connection device comprising —a line portion (10) having, at its end, a radially outwardly projecting abutment flange (14) for butting against a corresponding abutment flange of a further line portion which is to be coupled to the line portion (10), and—a ring-segment chain (42, 22, 38) comprising a plurality of ring segments (22, 38) connected to one another in a pivotable manner in a common ring plane, wherein the ring-segment ends which formed the chain ends can be latched to one another to give a ring-form connection clamp (42). The invention is distinguished in that the line portion is designed in the form of a tubular connection stub (10) with first thread means (16) spaced apart axially from the abutment surface (141) of its abutment flange (14), and in that each ring segment (22, 38) has a radially inwardly projecting clamping flange (24) and second thread means (26), which are spaced apart axially from said clamping flange and correspond with the first thread means (16).Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2017Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: Sartorius Stedim Biotech GmbHInventors: Norbert Aue, Sebastian Handt, Sebastian Purmann, Volker Limpert
