Abstract: In one aspect, an unloaded annular flexible seal is provided to receive an end of a conduit and to provide a seal between the conduit and a flange of a machine. The seal has a base having an inner surface, an upper surface, an outer surface, and a lower surface, and a leg having an inner surface, an upper surface extending from the inner surface of the base, an outer surface extending from the lower surface of the base, and a lower surface. A surface area of the outer surface of the leg is greater than a surface area of the lower surface of the leg. In another aspect, the seal is included in a seal assembly that also includes an annular back-up member having an L-shaped cross section, including a back-up member base and a back-up member leg configured to sit in the groove of the flexible seal.

Abstract: A tube seal assembly is provided to connect a tube and an adapter in order to circulate a fluid. The tube seal assembly can include various components such as a locking flange, a tube retainer, a seal guard, and an elastomeric seal. Bolts are used to secure the components of tube seal assembly together through the use of a load and to secure the tube seal assembly to the second tube. Teeth on the tube retainer are angled to dig into the first tube to prevent the tube from separating from the adapter during a blowout. The tube seal assembly can be configured to connect to any existing tube in order to be more serviceable in the field.

Abstract: A clamping apparatus includes a grommet having a slit and adapted to conform to a surface of a tubular member. The clamping apparatus further includes a clamping bracket having a clamping arcuate portion adapted to abut at least a portion of a surface of grommet and a base bracket having a base arcuate portion adapted to abut at least a portion of the surface of the grommet. The clamping bracket further includes at least one recessed portion and at least one clamping bracket hole. The base bracket further includes at least one base bracket hole. The at least one clamping bracket hole is adapted to coaxially align with the at least one base bracket hole to receive a fastening member. The base arcuate portion and clamping arcuate portion define a passageway between the clamping and the base bracket to receive the grommet along with the tubular member coaxially therein.
