A non-metallic pressure vessel is disclosed that includes a bottom dome having an upper wall defining an interface channel, a top dome having a lower wall defining a downwardly projecting securement flange dimensioned and aligned for vertical engagement within the interface channel of the bottom dome, and a flexible diaphragm retained within the interface channel of the bottom dome by the downwardly projecting flange of the upper dome.

A tube comprising a tag (30). The tag (30) comprising tube service data and at least one more data of the following group of data: tube identification data, tube manufacture data, and tube operation data. The tag (30) allows the data to be read, written, and updated electronically, and the tag (30) provides data for servicing the tube (10). A method for servicing such a tube, the method comprising: providing the tag (30) on the tube (10); reading electronically the data from the tag (30) for servicing the tube (10); servicing the tube (10) according to the data read; and writing electronically the data to the tag (30) to update at least the tube service data.

An insulated solution injector may include an outer tube and an inner tube arranged within the outer tube. The outer tube and the inner tube may define an annular space therebetween, and the inner tube may define a solution space within. The annular space may be configured so as to insulate the solution within the solution space. As a result, the solution may be kept to a temperature below its decomposition temperature prior to injection. Accordingly, the decomposition of the solution and the resulting deposition of its constituents within the solution space may be reduced or prevented, thereby decreasing or precluding the occurrence of a blockage.

A heat-shrinkable slitted tube includes a tube main body capable of bending into a tube shape and which shrinks due to application of heat; and a heat-resistant tape which, in a closed state where the tube main body is deformed so as to close a slit extending in a length direction, fastens together areas proximate to two end portions of the tube main body so as to maintain the closed state. In the heat-shrinkable slitted tube, in a case where, by affixing the heat-resistant tape to the tube main body such that one of the end portions is positioned at a short-direction center portion of an indicator of the heat-resistant tape, the other end portion is brought together with the end portion to achieve the closed state, the heat-resistant tape is affixed so as to intervene between the areas proximate to the two end portions.

A grounding pipe clamp secures a pipe and accommodates various attachment configurations to secure a range of conductor sizes. The grounding pipe clamp includes a bolt, a main body, and clamping pads. The bolt has a first leg and a second leg. The main body has a first end portion, a middle portion, and a second end portion. The first end portion has a slot that receives the first leg of the bolt. The second end portion has a L-shaped cutout that receives the second leg of the bolt to secure a pipe between the main body and the bolt. The clamping pads are secured to the first leg of the bolt and the second leg of the bolt. The clamping pads secure the conductors positioned on the main body.

A fibre-reinforced polymer component is provided which comprises a main portion comprising fibre-reinforced polymer and at least one surface and at least one raised feature extending from said surface. The at least one raised feature consists of non-reinforced polymer and is shaped to incur visually perceptible damage when the component is subject to an impact with an energy above a predetermined impact energy threshold and to resist an impact with an energy below the predetermined impact energy threshold. The at least one raised feature thus provides a clear visual aid as to when a component has experienced an impact with an energy above the impact energy threshold. Because the raised feature consists of polymer without fibre reinforcement, it is more fragile than the fibre-reinforced polymer main portion 204 and thus reduces the energy at which impacts may be detected.
