Flanged Joints TRIZ Cases

Temporary centering bolts align pipe pieces and fittings through flange openings, then are removed for reuse and faster assembly.

Pathways linking an undercut to the seal surface lower differential pressure, helping fracture plug and liner seals resist swab-off at high flow rates.

Laser welding joins flow tube housing halves while preserving a defined mounting gap, improving orifice positioning and bidirectional sensor accuracy.

A single-piece threaded connector joins in-line pipes within the outer profile, cuts welds and nuts, and keeps a center passage for cables or pipes.

Removable centering elements and pins align pipe pieces and flange rings precisely, simplifying assembly while enabling tool reuse.

A stepped inner and outer sealing surface retains a toroidal seal, cutting leak risk and assembly effort in clamped pipe joints.

Metal retaining rings and a fabric layer help rubber slip seals resist extrusion, gas explosion, and temperature-driven deformation.

Axially translatable pipe bodies and an energized metal seal close connection gaps in frac lines, preventing leakage and pressure loss.

Conductive polymer end fittings, adhesive bonding, and a bridge clamp cut aircraft waste tube weight and cost while keeping joint resistance low.

Pivoting clamps replace bolt-hole alignment, letting heavy pipe flanges connect face to face with adjustable clamping force and safer handling.

Integral lugs and a spring-like V-profile help the clamp keep its shape under load, improve contact uniformity, and adapt to thermal expansion.

Asymmetrical ratchet rings let a flange camlock tighten one way, resist accidental release, and provide clear click feedback.

A duct extension and flange support let aircraft duct flanges self-align, enabling one-person V-band coupling in confined spaces.

Flexible arcuate flanges in oval carrier openings securely hold and release containers with oblong or other non-round caps.

Opposed flanges and axially compressed seals keep the decompressed pipe gap sealed despite radial tolerances and thermal expansion.

A segmented crossfire tube links adjacent double-walled combustors for flame transfer while removing extra fixing members to cut weight and complexity.

Embedded fiber optic sensors measure gasket compression directly in real time, helping detect load loss and leakage without added flange hardware.

Curved adapter, gasket, and clamp surfaces seal pipes under angular misalignment while holding gasket position and reducing backpressure.

A containment recess and sliding skirt limit slip-joint separation under pressure and vibration while preserving tolerance to length deviation.

Ramped flange surfaces lock adjacent turbine cases against axial and rotational movement while improving shear-wave and impact resistance.
