Fabrication of formed hoses is provided which include an innermost elastomer layer, a first fiber-reinforcement region, and multiple second fiber-reinforcement regions. The first fiber-reinforcement region has a first fiber-reinforcement density, and is disposed, at least in part, at a bend region of the formed hose, and the multiple second fiber-reinforcement regions have a second fiber-reinforcement density, and are disposed at least at the first and second end regions of the formed hose. The second fiber-reinforcement density is greater than the first fiber-reinforcement density, and results in the first and second ends of the formed hose being less radially-deformable than the bend region of the hose. This facilitates providing a mechanical fluid-tight connection with a hose barb fitting when the formed hose is slid over the hose barb fitting, absent any clamp over the formed hose and hose barb fitting connection.

There is provided a safety lock for a hose connector and valve on a flow line having an anchor that is in a fixed position relative to the valve, a movable body movably attached to the anchor, and a shroud and an actuator blocking member carried by the movable body. The shroud is sized and positioned on the movable body to limit access to the hose connector when the movable body is in a first position, and to permit access to the hose connector when the movable body is in a second position. The actuator blocking member is sized and positioned on the movable body to prevent the valve actuator from moving from a second to a first position when the movable body is in the second position, and to permit movement of the actuator when the movable body is in the first position.

An anchor of an anchoring arrangement for a protective sleeve which locates, in use, over a conduit assembly, the conduit assembly including a conduit end connector configured to engage and fasten an end of a conduit to a conduit connection assembly. The anchor comprises a mounting element which is configured, in use, to be removably mountable on and around at least a portion of the conduit end connector, the mounting element having an outer side; and at least one fastening groove formed in and extending around the outer side of the mounting element. Each fastening groove is configured to receive, in use, a portion of a co-located protective sleeve and at least one securing element such that the securing element captures a portion of a co-located protective sleeve between the securing element and the mounting element within a cooperating fastening groove.

A coupling including a tubular body with two ends of the body each including a portion of internal threading for joining to a tubular element, and a central portion separating the two ends each including a portion of threading and having a wall thickness greater than the wall thickness of the ends of the body. The coupling includes an extension segment that extends from one of the ends of the tubular body, after the portion of internal threading, the extension segment having same outside diameter as that of the tubular body and an inside diameter greater than or equal to that of the portion of internal threading. Moreover, the extension segment includes a housing, including an opening onto an external surface of the coupling, in which an electronically responsive identification tag is housed.

A conduit for an offshore cable assembly that includes a conduit body that has at least one longitudinal strength member embedded therein. The at least one longitudinal strength member extends the length of the conduit body. A plurality of cables, hoses, or a combination are received inside of the conduit body.

A lock mechanism of a tubular body includes a housing to which a tubular body is mounted, a lock member locking and unlocking the housing and the tubular body, and a ring member rotatably attached on an outer periphery of the housing and moving the lock member between a lock position and an unlock position. When a locking portion of the lock member is locked to a locked portion of the housing, the lock member is retained in the unlock position. When the tubular body is inserted in the housing to unlock the locking portion and release an urging force accumulated in the lock member, the lock member moves to the lock position together with the ring member to lock the tubular body. When the ring member is slid in an axis direction of the tubular body after being locked, the tubular body can be locked with one touch.

A clamp comprising: a first arcuate portion; a second arcuate portion hingedly connected to the first arcuate portion; and a ratchet mechanism for locking the first and second arcuate portions in a closed position; wherein the ratchet mechanism comprises a linear rack provided with the second arcuate portion and a pawl provided with the first arcuate portion for receiving the linear rack; wherein the linear rack comprises one or more asymmetrical teeth and the pawl comprises a finger which is configured to engage with the teeth of the linear rack. The pawl is formed by a module which is detachably connected to the first arcuate portion
