Pipe shield device
A pipe shield device includes an elongated main body having a top surface, a bottom surface, a first end, a second end and a pair of side edges. The main body is constructed from stainless steel spring metal having high impact resistance and cut resistance properties. The main body includes a resilient memory and transitions between a rolled position in a resting state and an unrolled position in a non-resting state. The main body includes a spring tension for self-securement onto a pipe via the rolled memory tension.
Threaded tubular end protector
A thread protector that has an external sleeve having threads disposed on an inner side to engage with pin threads disposed on a pin end of a tubular member. The thread protector also has a flange disposed on a first end of the external sleeve to engage with the pin end of the tubular member, the threads on the inner side of the external sleeve are disposed axially adjacent to the flange and radially adjacent to the end of the pin end of the tubular member. A method of protecting the pin threads of the pin ends of the tubular members. The method includes screwing the thread protector on the pin threads of the pin end of the tubular member.
ENCAPSULATED SYSTEM FOR PRESSURIZED FLUID PROCESSES
Fluid management systems for handling pressurized fluid connect various subsystems or subunits without the need to use reinforced tubing. The system utilizes one or more segments of unreinforced conduit that are encapsulated at various points along a length of the segment with one or more rigid encapsulating members. The unreinforced conduit may be made a disposable element while the rigid encapsulating members may be re-used. In one aspect, the encapsulating member may include a two-part valve body that surrounds and encapsulates a portion of the unreinforced conduit. In another aspect, the encapsulating member may include a two-part jacket that surrounds and encapsulates a portion of the unreinforced conduit. The two-part valve bodies and two-part jackets may be joined at various points within the system as part of the overall flow system.

Helical Strake Attachment for Tubular Structural Members
A helical strake pole system that includes a tubular pole having a longitudinal axis and threaded attachment points. The system further includes a helical strake fin disposed circumferentially around a portion of the tubular pole along the longitudinal axis. The system further includes couplers disposed on the tubular pole. The couplers are configured such that each coupler has a first portion with a slot configured to receive an upper portion of the helical strake fin and a second portion configured to removably coupled to a threaded attachment point of the tubular pole. In addition, each coupler is configured to position a portion of the helical strake fin substantially perpendicular to a surface of the tubular pole.
Wire harness, and exterior member
A wire harness including: an electrical wire; and an exterior pipe through which the electrical wire is inserted, wherein the exterior pipe is provided with a plurality of discharge holes configured to outwardly discharge foreign matter that has entered between the exterior pipe and the electrical wire. An exterior pipe through which an electrical wire is to be inserted, the exterior pipe including: a body with a plurality of discharge holes configured to outwardly discharge foreign matter that has entered between the body and the electrical wire, wherein the plurality of discharge holes are provided in an aligned arrangement.
Filament reinforced tapes useful as underwater pipe wrap
A member for use in undersea applications comprising a plurality of conduits assembled into a bundle; the bundle being wrapped with a pressure-sensitive tape comprising a backing, a layer of corrosion-resistant filaments on one surface of the backing, and pressure-sensitive adhesive layer that coats the filaments and binds them to the backing.
