A wire harness pipe includes an aluminum pipe, a heat shrink tube that coats the outer surface side of the aluminum pipe, and an adhesive layer that is disposed between the aluminum pipe and the heat shrink tube.

A cover for a heat source according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a first portion covering at least a portion of the heat source, and a second portion including a first latch and a second latch. Each of the first and second latches are configured to engage a fluid conduit. An assembly is also disclosed.

A trap door cap for sealing around a trap door of a trap is disclosed. The canister includes a closed end and side walls extending from the closed end, wherein the side walls and the closed end together define a cup-shaped body having an open end opposite the closed end. The trap door cap further includes a seal configured to selectively apply a pressure-tight seal around an exterior surface of the trap at a longitudinal location of the trap inward of the trap door and a pressure-tight connection between the seal and the open end of the cup-shaped body, wherein the side walls, the closed end, the seal, and the pressure-tight connection together form a pressure-tight inner volume within the canister.

A protector includes a shell portion that is formed from a resin and covers an outer side of an electric wire and a protection portion that dampens an impact applied from outside the protector. The protection portion is formed from a resin and formed integrally with the shell portion.

A system and method of predicting impending failure of a pressure vessel include a pressure vessel, a fluid source, a line coupled to the pressure vessel and to the fluid source, an apparatus, a sensor and a controller. The apparatus includes a conduit and a containment structure. The containment structure includes a cavity separated from an interior of the conduit by a portion of a conduit wall of the conduit. The sensor is configured to determine a value of a physical property in the cavity. The controller is in signal communication with the sensor and configured to detect a change in the value. The method includes determining a first value of a physical property in the cavity, experiencing a failure of the conduit wall, determining a second value of the physical property in the cavity, and detecting a difference between the first and second values.

An assembly for forming a mechanical interface for fastening tubular components includes a tubular pipe having at least one end with an external surface provided with groove structure. A tubular attachment is provided with a first engagement structure configured to be aligned with the groove structure on the tubular pipe. The tubular attachment is axially force fit on the outer end of the tubular pipe, and radially fastened thereto in response to at least one tool applied to the external surface of the tubular attachment. Also disclosed is a method for forming the mechanical interface between the tubular pipe and the tubular attachment.

A method of manufacturing a composite connector for a fluid transfer conduit is provided which comprises applying continuous fibre reinforcement, oriented at least partially circumferentially and pre-impregnated with a thermoplastic polymer to a tubular mould portion which extends substantially parallel to a central axis C; applying at least one further mould portion to form a complete mould in which the continuous fibre reinforcement is enclosed and injecting a thermoplastic polymer into the mould to form a connector with a tubular hub portion and a flange portion which extends from the hub portion at an angle to the central axis C. The tubular hub portion comprises a tubular seal section with an inner layer and an outer wherein the inner layer comprises the continuous fibre reinforcement and the outer layer comprises the injected thermoplastic polymer.
