Pipe Elements TRIZ Cases

Concavely curved transition surfaces eliminate acute angles and dead spaces, preventing dirt accumulation in pig handling devices.

A magnetic leak arrestor uses a spool with a magnetic collar to seal metal pipe risers and well bores.

A manway cover alignment tool uses a height adjuster to position the cover plate relative to the flange plate.

Bamboo charcoal fibers in the woven layer resist bacterial growth and remove odors, preventing contamination during outdoor irrigation.

A pipeline inspection gauge pivots on a knuckle mechanism to maintain radial alignment with the pipe wall.

A pipe plug uses a non-rotational compression body to transmit activation force without friction losses.

A frustroconical insert deflects a highly ductile housing wall outward to engage tube surfaces.

Segmented male and female couplers with a spring-loaded valve prevent accidental toxic releases when breakaway forces exceed predetermined thresholds.

Offset inner and outer wave structures maintain uniform wall thickness while damping brake fluid pressure variations to reduce noise.

Integrates a filter between a fluid device and joint using an annular groove and projection to reduce system size and leakage risks.

Segmentation separates a ferromagnetic core tube from a non-ferromagnetic outer shell to resolve corrosion versus reliability contradictions.

A shield intercepts leaking hydraulic fluid at high pressure, redirecting the spray away from personnel to prevent injury.
