Snap Ring Joint Technologies (SRJ) will design, develop & produce a weld free, cold process,pipe to pipe coupling device that would be directly suitable to oil and gas applications. It willbe suitable for use on subsea & topside offshore environments as well as being directly suitedto onshore operations.The device will include metal seals that will satisfy direct demands from the market.Currently, the only pipe to pipe coupling solutions require hot process operations such aswelding & machining around pipe or section replacements, requiring lengthy & safety criticalplant shutdowns to carry out the work. Once a weld has been completed the join must then bex-rayed to confirm soundness. Both welding and X-raying require lengthy operation times andcritical safety considerations which increase expense.SRJ aims to develop the device to meet industry standards in seal soundness, internalpressures and seal integrity that requires no welding. This will deliver an 87.5% reduction indowntime to the operators & up to £300k per application whilst critically being certifiable toLloyds Regulatory Type Approval as a permanent solution. The device is set to be useful forpipe repair, and replacement during the maintenance of current assets, but primarily will be ofhigh value to infrastructure expansion and the development of new oil and gas refineries.

Snap Ring Joint Technologies （SRJ）将设计、开发和生产一种无焊接、冷加工、管对管耦合装置，该装置将直接适用于石油和天然气应用。它既适用于海底和海上环境，也适用于陆上作业。该设备将包括金属密封，以满足市场的直接需求。目前，唯一的管对管耦合解决方案需要热加工操作，如管道周围的焊接和加工或部分更换，需要长时间和安全关键的工厂停工来完成工作。一旦焊接完成，连接处必须进行x射线检查以确认其可靠性。焊接和x射线都需要很长的操作时间和关键的安全考虑，这增加了费用。SRJ的目标是开发设备，以满足密封可靠性，内部压力和密封完整性的行业标准，不需要焊接。这将为运营商减少87.5%的停机时间，每次应用最多可节省30万英镑，同时重要的是，作为一种永久性的解决方案，它获得了劳埃德监管类型批准的认证。该设备将用于管道维修和现有资产维护期间的更换，但主要是对基础设施扩建和新油气炼油厂的开发具有很高的价值。
