A transition adapter for a conduit system includes a body having a first end, a second end, and a hollow core. The transition adapter further includes a first threaded portion configured for connection to a conduit fitting or a cord grip fitting, a second threaded portion configured for connection to a conduit body, and a flange surface for receiving a gasket of the conduit fitting or the cord grip fitting.

A plug for connecting capillaries includes at least one capillary tube, at least one sealing, and at least one pressure piece. The capillary tube includes a first inner diameter and an open end section. The sealing includes a second inner diameter, a first end section and a shape adapted to seal the open end section of the capillary tube when connected. The pressure piece is adapted to exert at least axial pressure and/or force to at least a part of the sealing. The pressure piece is also adapted to host the first end section of the sealing in abutment with the open end section of the capillary tube so that the capillary tube and the sealing are aligned.

A compression fitting includes a nut with a threaded end for receiving a threaded tube and a receiving end for holding a plunger head; and a plunger with an inner bore for receiving a capillary tube and the plunger head for engaging a ferrule positioned within the receiving end between the plunger head and the threaded tube, the plunger slidingly engaged with the nut to force the ferrule from the nut.

A fitting for a fluid line that will contain pressurized fluid can include first and second fitting elements with respective sealing surfaces and an indicator element for indicating when a fluid seal has been formed. A fitting for a fluid line that will contain pressurized fluid can include first and second fitting elements with a sealing structure secured in one of the first and second fitting elements, wherein the sealing structure is axially resiliently compressible, one example of which includes a bellows element.

Fluid coupling (10), comprising: a first member (20) configured for connection with a first fluid conduit (16); a second member (30) configured for connection with a second fluid conduit (18); a nut (50) disposed at least partially around the first member (20), the nut (50) configured to engage the second member (30); and a sleeve (60) configured to rotate the nut (50) and cause or facilitate engagement between the nut (50) and the second member (30).

A temporary piping system is disclosed for use in a high pressure fluidic system. The temporary piping system including a connection pin including a first sealing surface, a connection box including external threads and a second sealing surface for engaging the first sealing surface of the connection pin to create a fluidic seal, an outer sleeve including internal threads for threadingly engaging the external threads of the connection box to secure the box with respect to the inner pipe to maintain the fluidic seal, and a locking system for preventing the connection box from being separated from the connection pin.

A fluidic connection assembly and methods for quickly connecting or disconnecting a tube to a port by hand and without the use of tools. A body is adapted to receive a tube therethrough, and may have at least two sides which are hinged. Each of the hinged sides has corresponding latching portions or projections located near a lower end of the body. These projections are adapted to fit into a port or other fitting and be securely held in place. The assembly may include a tube extending through a body and through a spring located between the end of the body and the end of the tube, whereby the spring exerts a force directly or indirectly against the end of the tube and against the body, thus holding the tubing securely and sealingly engaged in the port when the assembly is connected. The body may further comprise an additional body or an adapter, and/or a cap and latch. A second spring may be used to push a projecting member into a groove or notch of an adapter when an end of the adapter is inserted into one end of the latch or the body. The fluidic connection assembly is useful in analytical instrument systems, such as for in vitro applications and/or in high pressure applications, among other things, and may be used in methods for connecting, or disconnecting, tubing or a fluidic connection assembly from a port or other fitting or connection.

A kit for connecting to a processing container a device for feeding a liquid or semi-liquid food product, including at least: an internally hollow pipe having a first end and a second end, wherein at least one between the first and the second end includes an enlarged, external terminal portion; a receiving element provided with a hole for receiving at least the enlarged, external terminal portion at one end of the pipe and with an abutment for stopping the end of the pipe inside the hole; a pushing portion for pushing and locking the enlarged, external terminal portion at the end inside the receiving hole in order to allow locking the enlarged, external terminal portion against the abutment.

A torquing tool for rotating bolts connecting a pipe flange in a subsea environment, comprising a first guide for guiding movement of the torquing along a pipe, a socket for engaging a first bolt, a shaft for transferring torque from a motor to the socket, and a first protruding member for insertion between the pipe and a second bolt of the pipe flange, to prevent the torquing tool from rotating due to counter torque created while applying torque to the first fastener. The torquing tool can further comprise a second protruding member adjacent the socket, wherein the second protruding member can be inserted between the pipe and a third bolt of the pipe flange. The torquing tool can further comprise an angled shaft for transferring torque from the motor to the socket, wherein an axis of rotation of the motor is different from an axis of rotation of the socket.

A first peripheral wall end portion of a conversion adapter is connected to a tubular body across a gasket, and has either an annular protrusion to be pressed into an annular groove on a side surface of the gasket, or an annular groove to allow an annular protrusion projecting from a side surface of the gasket to be pressed thereinto. The first peripheral wall end portion has either an internally threaded portion to allow an externally threaded portion of the tubular body to be screwed thereinto, or an externally threaded portion to allow a nut to be screwed thereonto. The nut also allows an externally threaded portion of the tubular body to be screwed thereinto. A second peripheral wall end portion of the conversion adapter has an externally threaded portion to allow another nut to be screwed thereonto, and then, to allow the sleeve to make contact with the inside.
