High-pressure fluid-flow system having compact two-bolt and four-bolt flanged and modular connectors

摘要

A one-piece block connects flanged fluid-flow connectors. Each connector includes a central port and at least two tabs, the tabs having apertures for affixing the connector to the block. The dimensions of the block and the connector are such that the block can accommodate a given number of connectors in a smaller space than required in the prior art. Moreover, the maximum working pressure of the connector can still be as large as about 5000 psi. Channels formed within the block allow fluid communication from one connector to another.
