Multipartite mechanical press for flanged connections with wedge-actuated movement mechanism

摘要

A multipartite mechanical press is presented, preferably bipartite for flanged connections that allows the handling of flanged connections on pipes for addition/removal of elements to/from the line, such as filters, plates, flow regulators, measurement elements, orifice plates and valves. The multipartite design allows a totally mechanical installation, without the need for any type of modification to the pipeline, or by destructive procedures of removal or addition of material. For installation of the multipartite mechanical press requires the existence of flanged connections in the pipel in question. The operation of the press is totally manual, i.e. operation does not require the use of mechanisms activated by any electrical, pneumatic, fuel-based, etc. means.
