Abstract

A hydrocyclone assembly comprises at least one hydrocyclone (1) having at least two through flow members (2, 3) for distribution of liquid between the outside and the interior of the hydrocyclone, and circular cylindrical pipes (4, 5) of the same number as that of the through flow members of the hydrocyclone, the through flow members of the hydrocyclone being connected to the pipes, respectively. According to the invention each through flow member (2, 3) defines an annular end portion (6), which extends around a radial bore (7) in its associated pipe (4, 5) and abuts sealingly against the mantle surface of the pipe via a gasket (8) extending around said bore in the pipe.
