Abstract (en)

[origin: JPH02168597A] PURPOSE: To make arrangement of torch and drawing in process easy and highly reliable by installing a variable airtight capacity in the upstream of a valve to close a connection sleeve of a torch and balancing the pressure of the capacity and the pressure in the downstream of the valve before opening the valve and arranging a torch. CONSTITUTION: The pressure applied to a capacitor in the upstream of a valve 5 and the pressure applied to the downstream are made equal by opening a cock 13. Then, the valve 5 is opened, a torch 4 is slid on a guiding axis 4, and a nozzle 12 is introduced into a variable airtight capacity surrounded with a sleeve 3 and a seal 2. The seal 2 has a C-shaped cross-section and is made of a metal and the nozzle 12 is efficiently cooled through the sleeve 3 and the seal 2.

Abstract (fr)

Ce dispositif comprend en combinaison au moins un joint d'étanchéité circulaire (2) intercalé entre la paroi interne de la manchette (3) et le nez (12) de la torche (4) et entourant celui-ci, des moyens (6, 13) pour équilibrer les pressions de part et d'autre de la vanne (5), et des moyens (18, 23) pour refroidir le joint. Lesdits moyens pour équilibrer les pressions de part et d'autre de la vanne comprennent un tuyau (6) de mise en communication contournant la vanne (5), et un robinet (13) intercalé sur ce tuyau.
