pipeline joined by coupling boxes / sleeves Explanation: This is what Ernst all has to say on "Muffen": Muffe, Hülse f / bushing, sleeve Muffe, Stutzen m / muff Muffe f, Kupplungsmuffe f, Hülse f / coupling box o. sleeve Muffe f (Elektr) / coupler of conduits Muffe des Muffenrohres (Rohr) / faucet, socket end Muffe f für Leitungsenden (Elektr) / boot for protecting terminations Since your context rfeers to high pressure gas pipelines, I think they may be referring to piplines where the sections are joined by a coupling box or sleeve. |
