pipe sections and is shown attached to a discharge assembly 50 for purposes of this description the discharge assembly 50 essentially describes an apparatus inside a flange section 80 also for purpose of this description the pipe joint 100 hereinafter u201c joint u201d essentially describes an apparatus that includes a butt joint between the ends of two pipes thereby forming a continuous conduit from one pipe to the other for use in transporting a gas or fluid the terms u201c heat shielded u201d merely describe one of the functions of some of the components of the joint and in this case refer to shielding or dissipating thermal energy that would transfer from the gas fluid to the components of the joint primarily by convection the pipe joint 100 is connected to the discharge assembly 50 at a pipe 52 which could be a five inch schedule 40 pipe but other types and sizes of pipes could also be used turning now to fig2 shown therein is a cross sectional elevation view of the pipe joint 100 and the discharge assembly 50 taken along cross sectional line a a as best seen in fig3 within the pipe joint 100 is a fluid conduit 102 which will be described in more detail below.
