Abstract
A sealing device for sealing a pipeline arrangement, a method for the production of a sealing device, and a pipeline system including a sealing device and a pipeline arrangement. The sealing device includes a seal and data medium assigned to the seal with electronic data memory to which seal specific information can be or is written.
Claims9
A pipeline system comprising,
- a pipeline arrangement and a sealing device for sealing the pipeline arrangement,
- the pipeline arrangement having two pipeline units with a pipeline central axis and a clamping device,
- wherein each pipeline unit comprises:
- a pipeline having a pipeline outer surface,
- a pipeline end face,
- a pipeline outer diameter, and
- a pipe socket with a pipe socket inner diameter, wherein the pipe socket is provided with a flange section having a flange section end face and a pipe section having a pipe section inner surface,
- wherein the clamping device clamps the flange sections of the pipe sockets of the two pipeline units axially to each other,
- wherein the sealing device has in a position of use, a seal located axially between the flange section end faces of the pipe sockets,
- wherein the sealing device has a data medium assigned to the seal and comprising an electronic data memory to which seal-specific information can be or is written,
- wherein the seal of the sealing device has a sealing outer surface, which extends radially around a sealing device central axis, on which a seal section is arranged, and wherein the seal section comprises the data medium,
- wherein the sealing device forms a transition between the pipeline units which are clamped to one another,
- wherein the sealing device comprises a seal insert that defines an axial minimum distance between the two pipeline units, and
- wherein the transition between the pipeline units is defined by clamping forces which are set by the seal insert such that a curvature with respect to a pipeline inner diameter forms an obtuse angle.
