Flanged Joints TRIZ Cases

A double fabric faced drain flange uses injection molded plastic cores to fuse preformed fabrics, creating a composite plumbing fixture.

Stamping and bending form the clip element, which projection welds to the clamping head to eliminate separate assembly steps.

A conveying pipe uses an interference fit between a roughened collar and pipe end to create a durable mechanical bond.

Contoured bearing surfaces in drilling riser flange assemblies enable pivotable movement between bolted components.

Encapsulated adhesive components activate under crimping pressure to prevent rotational separation without blunting mechanical features.

An adapter bridges planar wafer rings and varied flange types, eliminating inventory complexity from multiple ring designs.

A branch body connects a head and a connection body to reduce sealing points, lowering leakage risk in high pressure hose systems.

A gasket design for compact flanges creates an internal test chamber between inner and groove seals.

Vulcanizing an elastomeric layer onto metal pipe surfaces eliminates expensive flange manufacturing costs while maintaining stable connection reliability.

Segmented backup rings and dynamic hinges resolve alignment difficulties while maintaining secure sealing on flanged riser connections.

Circumferential grooves in the flange capture excess solder, preventing residue accumulation at the plug-in region and eliminating post-machining costs.

Changing implementation pointers executes analytics functions without modifying source code, reducing integration complexity.

A self-closing cryogenic coupling device incorporates a fluidic circuit to purge the sealed dead volume with pressurized inert gas.

A polyethylene shroud surrounds pipe flanges with flexible seals and drip tubes to capture leaked fluids.

Composite gasket with metal core and elastomeric seal maintains electrical isolation and contains media during fire conditions.

An interlock mechanism couples a retention member with a valve member to prevent accidental spillage when disconnecting fluid conduits.

Axial straps loop around coupling elements to prevent rapid separation of duct sections under high pressure.

Segmented cooling tubes use metallurgical bonding to maintain structural integrity under vibration while delivering airflow to bearings.

Segmented spherical bearings accommodate thermal expansion while preventing fluid leakage in gas turbine engine pipe connections.

A tube flanging method expands and bends the tube edge using a forming mold to create a linearly integrated cross section.

Joule heating fuses the single-material seal to collars, preventing creep-induced leaks without re-tightening.

Curved transition surfaces reinforce flanged fittings, preventing structural failure during hot tapping.

A turbine engine casing flange features a partial frusto-conical profile to distribute induced loading across the load-bearing surface.

A flange assembly with a frangible gate enables secure air cannon mounting on bulk material equipment.

A rotary lock block connector uses a driving ring to engage fan-shaped grooves for rapid riser string assembly.

Segmented polymeric strip applies uniform compression to flanges, resolving the trade-off between secure fastening and one-hand operability.
