Flanged Joints TRIZ Cases

Rotational adjustment in arcuately extending rigid tubes accommodates tolerance stack-up between orthogonal fluid connections.

Segmented gaskets with nested seal rings distribute radial forces across multiple barriers, reducing stress on individual components.

An L-shaped lip-ring seal design manages thermal expansion through a constrained cross-sectional geometry that directs radial movement away from the axis of rotation.

A unitary elastomeric valve sleeve eliminates fatigue failure at material interfaces by ensuring homogeneous properties throughout the component.

A retaining clamp with interconnected segments and a locking mechanism secures ducting joints through uniform axial loading.

A spherical annular seal member with a solid lubricant reduces frictional noise and surface damage during high-temperature exhaust pipe movement.

A cut-in fitting uses a split flange ring and band clamp to attach to existing pipe runs without cutting.

Offset cross junctions in frac manifold missiles reduce vibration and turbulence, minimizing erosion and leakage from abrasive fluids.

Constricting collar with shaped grooves engages flange retention pins for secure axial and transverse reinforcement.

A spherical seal member integrates a metal wire net with expanded graphite to prevent abnormal noise and leakage at high temperatures.

A clamping collar retaining tab features an undulation between fastener and attachment portions to enable elastic deformation during tightening.

A clamping collar uses an inverted threaded rod to drive two nuts toward each lug, enabling precise tightening with a single hand tool.
