Flush joint coupling using foil jacketed annular cone, backfilled with carbon dioxide, eliminates inherent connection problems of conventional bayonet type joints used for vacuum jacketed assemblies.
Joint absorbs all significant torque, is as rugged as heavy metallic pipe, and has thermal insulation comparable to length of flexible pipe. Design is adaptable to any pipes transporting gases or liquids, including those which are noxious or corrosive.
