SEPARABLE CONNECTION FOR CONDUIT SEGMENTS CONVEYING FLUID UNDER PRESSURE

摘要

An improved separable connection, between conduit segments for conveying therethrough a fluid under pressure, is provided by flange and socket means that permits telescoping to initially locate the axes of the conduit segments within a plane, and then employing cam means to move the axes of the conduit segments into axial alignment while simultaneously moving the conduit segments axially toward each other to effect compression of seal means therebetween to effect a fluid-tight seal of the connected conduit means.
