Child	Description
flame arrestor	An arrestor which is a trap over an opening, e.g. of a ventilation system or a pipe, to prevent flames from entering the system.
funnel	A hollow cone with a tube extending from the smaller end and that is designed to catch and direct a downward flow.
guide post	An artefact which is an upstanding tapered shaft or rod fixed to a permanent guide base and intended to be used to guide equipment to the seabed.
ignitor	A device which is intended to initiate a spark that ignites a combustible mixture.
line blind	A functional unit used to blind off a process stream.
pig launcher	A pressure vessel intended for sending a pig into a pipeline.
pig loop	A flowloop that allows a pipeline pig to move from one pipe to another.
pig receiver	A pressure vessel intended for receiving a pig from a pipeline.
pig transmitter	A transmitter intended to detect a pig passage and transmit a signal representing the measured value.
pig trap	A facility on a pipeline for inserting and retrieving a scraper or pig.
piping spool	Is a piping assembly of piping components to be pre-fabricated as one item.
spark arrestor	A device which removes incandescent particles from a gas stream. Spark arrestors are fitted to vehicles and stationary engines which are operated in potentially flammable atmospheres.
spring support	Is a support (item) intended to carry the load of piping components.
flange	A physical object that is a projecting flat rim, plate, collar or rib.
manifold	A physical object that contains a chamber with several openings.
seal	A physical object intended to reduce or prevent the passage of fluid through an opening.
thermowell	A physical object that is a pressure-tight receptacle adapted to receive a temperature sensing element, provided with external threads or other means for pressure-tight attachment to a vessel or pipe.
christmas tree	A physical object that is an assembly of pipes and piping parts, with valves and associated control equipment that is connected to the top of a wellhead and is intended for control of fluid from a well.
nozzle	A physical object that has a protruding part through which a stream of fluid is directed.
pipe	A physical object that is a long tube or hollow body intended for conduction of liquid, gaseous or finely divided solid materials, or used for structural purposes.
pipe bend	A physical object that is used to change piping direction with a non-standard radius.
pipe flange spade	A physical object that is a circular plate with no central opening and holes to match mating flanged ends. It is also equipped with a handle.
pipe tee	A physical object that has three piping ends in T-shape, including a branch at 90 degrees.
pipeline	A fluid conductor that consists of pipe, possibly also including pumps, valves, and control devices, intended for conveying liquids, gases, or finely divided solids.
riser	A physical object that is a vertical or near vertical pipe for the upward flow of liquid or gas.
spectacle blind	A physical object that consists of two discs with equal thickness and outer diameter connected with a flat bar. One of the discs has a hole, while the other disc is without hole.
spool piece	A physical object which is a short section of pipe used to connect ends of pipes/pipelines.
spacer	A physical object that is intended to keep other physical objects at a predefined distance and hence having a spacer function.
pipe support	A support intended to support one or more pipes.
buckle initiator	A structure to control the formation of lateral buckles along a pipeline or flowline.
diverter	A 'device' that is providing diversion of something from an expected course or direction.
drain port	A drain port is a collection port that can be installed in pressure sensing lines for transmitters, steam lines, etc. to be able to remove liquids from the system that otherwise would create problems for the instruments.
drain pot	A 'liquid outlet port' that allows liquid to leave a container under gravity
turret	Equipment installed subsea related to a ships turret system
casing	An enclosure that can maintain a pressure difference.
lightning arrestor	A lightning arrestor is a device used on electric power systems and telecommunication systems to protect the insulation and conductors of the system from the damaging effects of lightning.
pipe reducer	An 'artefact' that has different nominal pipe size at the two ends, intended to connect pipes or piping components.
sample bomb	A cylinder that is specially designed to collect and store high pressure gas samples from the field & transport the same to laboratories
sample cooler	A 'cooling device' that is intended for cooling a sample.
segment	A feature which is each of several parts into which a thing is or can be divided or marked off.
sleeve	A sleeve or pipe of larger diameter installed around a pipeline, intended to protect or guide
tap	A fluid regulator that controls the flow of liquid or gas from a pipe or container. Taps are often attached to a sink or bath.
tree cap	A tree cap is a barrier to keep the subsea environment clean in case of any leaks above the annulus or production swab valves. It includes a mechanism to indicate the metal seals have been set within the seal bore of subsea tree.
