IMPROVEMENTS RELATING TO GAS TIGHT COUPLINGS
Patent
·
OSTI ID:4117466
A coupling between a pair of ducts is designed in which the ducts are provided with chamfered mating surfaces to form an annular joint, servo apparatus are carried on one duct to operate hook members engaging the flange on the other duct, and channels are provided around one of the mating surfaces. In operation, gas under pressure is passed into the channel to test the seal. A possible variant of this design is described in which a flexible hosing is interposed between the two ducts. This method of coupling can be used for gaining access to a fuel channel of a gascooled reactor without coolant loss, as for a charging machine such as that described by Patent Serial No. 854,764. Drawings are included. (D.L.C.)
