Abstract
An arrangement for equalizing an offset between two pipe flanges, includes an arrangement for equalizing an offset between two pipe flanges, having adjustment rings, each having a recess which extends along an axis and about which a ring material extends in a circumferential direction, wherein at least two of the adjustment rings have two contact surfaces, the contact surfaces having flat, substantially circular contact surfaces at least along circular tracks concentric to the axis. A cross section of the ring material has a varying axial ring material thickness in the circumferential direction such that at least two of the adjustment rings have a wedge shape having an angular offset of the two contact surfaces relative to each other. The arrangement has at least three adjustment rings to flexibly compensate for different offset phenomena.
Claims12
An arrangement (ARR) for compensation of an offset (OFT) between two pipe flanges (FLG) comprising:
- adapting rings (AJR) which each have a recess (HOL) which extends along an axis (X) and around which a ring material (AMT) extends along a circumferential direction (CDR),
- the adapting rings (AJR) in each case having two bearing faces (CSF),
- the bearing faces (CSF) are planar substantially circularly annular bearing faces (CSF) at least along circular paths which are concentric with respect to the axis (X),
- a cross section of the ring material (AMT) along the circumferential direction (CDR) having a changing axial ring material thickness (ART) in such a way that at least four of the adapting rings (AJR) have a wedge shape with an angular offset (AOF) of the two bearing faces (CSF) with respect to one another,
- wherein the arrangement (ARR) comprises at least four wedge-shaped mutually adjacent adapting rings (AJR).
