AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing mechanical pipe couplings support segments in a preassembled state on the outer circumference of the ring seal, limiting the ability to achieve a more compact design and increasing turbulence due to the center leg being in the fluid flow path.
Method used
The segments are supported in a spaced relation on the lobes of the seal, allowing for a more compact coupling design and retracting the center leg out of the fluid flow path by deforming the seal when seated, thereby reducing turbulence and head loss.
Benefits of technology
This design enables a more compact coupling with reduced turbulence and head loss by supporting segments on the seal lobes and retracting the center leg, facilitating easier pipe insertion and enhancing fluid tightness.
