Description

The Client (UKAEA) wishes to develop a remotely operable pipe connection which can be made with a misalignment of up to 5° and with the minimum of delay to establish a high integrity seal.

The desire for speed and misalignment differ from the traditional approach in the reactor industry. The connection will be operated (connected/disconnected) by remote means and/or equipment.

To reduce development costs and time UKAEA are ultimately seeking to identify a Consultant that has experience in pipe connectors in different industries to provide knowledge transfer, to enable new ideas and to meet the need.
