Abstract
The procedure utilises a collar (22) fixed onto the mains pipe with one half having a slot (22b) through which a bore blocking device may be inserted, the collar being so shaped inside as to fit around a shaped seal or seal combination (1) that makes a leakproof joint with the mains pipe and the blocking device; the collar retains a seal, e.g. an O-ring (2), for an inserted branch pipe (13), and a seal, e.g. an O-ring (3), the branch pipe. A clamp (4), a washer (5) separating the O-ring (3) and the clamp, a nut (6), and a seal, e.g. an O-ring (7), seal and retain the branch pipe (13) after a cutter has been inserted to provide an aperture in the mains pipe.
Description
PROCEDURE FOR TAPPING INTO FLUID PIPELINES UNDER PRESSURE
DESCRIPTION
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
The object of this Patent Application is a procedure for tapping into fluid pipelines under pressure which displays noteworthy advantages and innovations in comparison with current procedures used for the same or similar purposes.
More precisely, in this invention a procedure has been devised that allows the branch pipe to be connected directly to the mains pipe without the need to use intermediary accessories, so that both the branch accessory and the thread between the collar and this accessory are eliminated, resulting in a saving in material, easier assembly and a more reliable joint without the thread between the collar and the accessory, since this thread must be leaktight once installation is complete.
BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION
With regard to the current state of technical knowledge, a known system for tapping into mains pipes under pressure consists of a collar fitted with the sealing elements needed for tapping under pressure, the end of which has a female thread for screwing in an elbow or other type of accessory, to which the branch pipe is connected.
Another known system uses a collar of the type described in the previous paragraph, but one which ends in a tube to which an accessory for connecting to the branch must be fitted.
Yet another known system consists of a collar without any sealing elements, to which is fitted a device allowing the connection to be made under pressure, to which in turn is fitted an accessory for making the connection to the branch pipe.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The procedure for tapping into fluid pipelines under pressure, the object of this invention, consists of a collar fixed onto the mains pipe by some traditional means.
The upper half of this collar has a slot through which a spatula may be inserted, the collar being suitably shaped inside to house a multiple seal that makes a leakproof joint with the mains pipe and the spatula, together with an O-ring seal which
kes a leakproof joint with the branch pipe.
In addition, placed on top of the collar there is an O-ring seal which will make a leakproof joint with the branch pipe; a clamp which will hold the branch pipe and prevent it from coming out once assembled, there being a gripping system on the inside of the clamp and a conical surface on the outside, the whole clamp being split axially so that it can easily deform and adjust to the pipe; and a washer separating the O-ring and the clamp.
Fitted outside the collar there is a nut which screws onto the outer surface of the collar, the nut having inside it a conical surface that coincides with that of the clamp and an Oring seal to give an extra guarantee against leakage once the assembly is installed; and a further O-ring seal for the same purpose.
The installation process consists first of fixing the collar onto the pipe to be tapped. Then, the O-ring, washer, clamp and nut are removed from the collar, and by means of a threaded adapter a suitable pipe drill is installed on top of the collar. This drill must have the sealing elements needed to prevent leakage once the pipe is pierced.
When the pipe has been drilled and the drill bit is withdrawn, the spatula is inserted by sliding it over the multiple seal, thus allowing the drill to be removed without leakage. The parts previously removed from the collar, i.e. the
O-ring, washer, clamp and nut, are replaced, the nut being screwed down until it touches the spatula but without pressing on it, and the branch pipe is inserted until it butts against either a shoulder inside the collar or the spatula itself.
Once the other end of the branch pipe has been closed by means of a valve or other type of closure, the spatula is removed, so that the pressure entering the branch pipe pushes the pipe outwards. But it is held in by the clamp, which closes onto it because of its conical surfaces, with the detail that the assembly remains leakproof thanks to the O-ring seal located inside the collar.
Finally the nut is screwed right down, drawing the pipe inwards as far as it will go, and the clamp closes even more, gripping the pipe tighter until installation is complete.
This arrangement means that later, if necessary, this collar can be used as a shut-off valve by unscrewing the nut just enough and inserting the spatula.
A set of plans accompanies this application to complement the description that follows and to aid in understanding its characteristics. These figures, which are non-restrictive and for illustration only, show the major details of the invention.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Figures 1 to 7 show views in vertical section of the successive stages in the process of installing the invention.
Figures 8 to 12 show views in vertical section of various ways in which certain elements of the invention may be implemented.
DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERENTIAL IMPLEMENTATION
With reference to the above-mentioned figures and in accordance with the numbering adopted, in this implementation a collar 22 is shown, which is fixed onto the mains pipe by some traditional means.
The upper half of this collar has a slot 22b through which a spatula 12 may be inserted, the collar being suitably shaped inside to house:
- A multiple seal 1 making a leakproof joint with the mains pipe and the spatula 12.
- An O-ring seal 2 making a leakproof joint with the branch pipe 13.
Placed outside the collar there is:
- An O-ring seal 3 to make a leakproof joint with the branch pipe 13;
- A clamp 4 to hold the branch pipe and prevent it from coming out once assembled. The clamp has a gripping system 4a on the inside and a conical surface 4b on the outside. The clamp is split axially so that it can easily deform and adjust to the pipe.
- A washer 5 separating the O-ring and the clamp.
- A nut 6 screwed onto the outside of the collar; inside the nut is a conical surface 6a that coincides with that of the clamp.
- An O-ring seal 7 to give an extra guarantee against leakage once the assembly is installed. Inside the nut there is a further O-ring seal 8 for the same purpose.
The installation process is as follows:
The collar is firmly fixed onto the pipe to be tapped (figure 1).
The O-ring 3, washer 5, clamp 4 and nut 6 are removed from the collar, and by means of a threaded adapter 9 a suitable pipe drill 10 is installed on top of the collar. This drill must have the sealing elements needed to prevent leakage once the pipe is pierced (figure 2).
When the pipe has been drilled and the drill bit 11 is withdrawn, the spatula 12 is inserted by sliding it over the multiple seal 1, thus allowing the drill 10 to be removed without leakage (figures 3 and 4).
The parts previously removed from the collar (O-ring 3, washer 5, clamp 4 and nut 6) are then replaced, the nut 6 being screwed down until it touches the spatula 12 but without pressing on it, and the branch pipe 13 is inserted until it butts against either a shoulder 14 inside the collar 22 or the spatula 12 itself (figure 5).
Once the other end of the branch pipe 13 has been closed by means of a valve or other type of closure, the spatula 12 is removed, and the pressure entering the branch pipe 13 pushes the pipe outwards. But it is held in by the clamp 4, which closes onto it because of its conical surfaces 4b, 6a, so that the assembly remains leakproof thanks to the inner O-ring seal 2 (figure 6).
The nut is screwed right down, drawing the pipe inwards as far as it will go, and the clamp closes even more, gripping the pipe tighter until installation is complete (figure 7).
Later, if necessary, this collar can be used as a shut-off salve by unscrewing the nut just enough and inserting the spatula.
In a preferential implementation of the invention, the collar is composed of two half-collars fixed together by screws or other fasteners. The upper half-collar 24 is fitted with the tapping elements described above (figure 8).
In another form of implementation, the collar is made of two totally different parts: an upper seating 15 that bears the tapping system, and a lower deformable clamp 16 which adjusts to the girth of the pipe and fixes the seating to the pipe. The seating and clamp may be joined together by screws 17 or other fasteners (figure 9).
Another form of implementation is envisaged in which the upper part of the collar, in either the half-collar version or the seating version, is made up of two parts: one is the halfcollar or seating itself 18, housing the multiple seal, and the other is a body 19 with all the tapping elements described above. Between the body and the multiple seal some system is envisaged to prevent turning, whether through friction, a twistproof lug, or some other system (figure 10). In addition, one of the parts that make up the collar may be coated with some insulating material in order to prevent galvanic corrosion.
In one variant implementation, the multiple seal is replaced with two independent seals: one 20 to make a leakproof seal with the mains pipe, and the other 21 to make a leakproof seal with the spatula and slot (figure 11).
In another variant implementation, the nut is ribbed 14 to enable it to be tightened by hand or with a hook spanner (figure 8).
In yet another variant the open clamp is replaced with a closed clamp 23 or ring, which can be factory fitted on a branch pipe of the required length (figure 12).
Furthermore, the outer shape of the collar allows a version of the adapter 9 to be attached which has a groove 9a inside, with an O-ring 9b that slides over the outer surface of the collar 22a (figures 2 and 3).
This allows the adapter to be raised to uncover the slot 22b without leakage. The advantage of this system is that when the pipe is being drilled the adapter reinforces the upper part of the collar, which otherwise would be weakened by the slot.
