PIPELINE CONNECTION POINT Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC F16L17/02 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: connection point consists of female and male connection elements conjugated by means of insertion of head and branch of corresponding elements. The first end of each connecting element is designed for attachment to a pipeline. At operation the conjugated connection point forms a rectilinear passage for fluid medium between pipelines; this passage is composed of through channels made in each connection point conjugated along the first lengthwise axis. At conjugation during operation the head and the branch are matched along the second lengthwise axis inclined to the first one. At conjugation during operation packing facilities corresponding to packing rings adjoin both the branch and head on all sides from the point of the through channel and branch crossing. The packing is made so, that fluid medium inside the passage imparts equal force counteracting disconnection of the said connection elements.

EFFECT: increased reliability of connection.
