A coupling device includes male and female couplings having first and second circumferential grooves on surfaces of the respective couplings that face each other when the couplings are fitted together. The coupling device further includes an engaging member. When the male coupling is pushed into the female coupling, the engaging member is retracted into the second groove, allowing the male coupling to be inserted into the female coupling, and when the couplings are fitted together, the engaging member is pushed into the first groove by coil springs so as to be fitted into both of the groove, thereby preventing separation of the male and female couplings in the axial direction. Countersunk head screws support respective divided pieces of the engaging member. Slotted head setscrews are screwed in at boundaries between the adjacent divided pieces to press the divided pieces against the bottom of the first groove.

A high pressure swivel joint used in pipe assemblies transferring high pressure fluid. The swivel joint comprises a first pipe section and a sleeve-like second pipe section. The first pipe section is inserted into the second pipe section and the sections are relatively rotatable. A wear ring is positioned within a recess formed in the inner wall of the first pipe section. A second wear ring is positioned within a recess formed in the inner wall of the second pipe section.

A conduit coupling assembly having an arcuate clamp ring having first and second longitudinal edges, a spanner configured to extend across a longitudinal ring gap between the first and second longitudinal edges, a connecting assembly configured to tighten the spanner and clamp ring to the fluid conduit from a non-actuated position to a tightened position, an arcuate gasket configured to be positioned between the clamp ring and spanner on an outer side of the gasket and the fluid conduit on an inner side of the gasket, and the gasket comprising a spanner recess in the outer side of the gasket configured to receive at least a portion of the spanner.

A piping joint connects a resin tube to a connection pipe having a protrusion formed on an outer peripheral surface of a distal end portion of the connection pipe. The piping joint includes a housing press-fitted into the resin tube and an elastically extendable and contractible seal member into which the connection pipe is inserted such that sealing is performed between the connection pipe and the seal member. The housing has a first housing portion positioned in one end portion and having an outer peripheral surface side press-fitted into the resin tube and a second housing portion positioned in the other end portion. The seal member has a first seal portion inserted on an inner peripheral surface side of the second housing portion.

An apparatus for connecting two pipes in fluid communication includes a connector body having opposing open ends, with each open end configured for receiving a free end of a pipe, and a mechanical interlock arrangement for preventing or limiting axial movement of the connector body relative to a free end of a pipe when the free end of the pipe is received in an open end of the connector body. A mechanical seal arrangement provides a metal-to-metal seal between a pipe inserted into one of the open ends and the connector body.

The invention relates to a connector unit for connecting capillaries, in particular for high-performance liquid chromatography, wherein a sealing element sealing the capillary protrudes at least partially into the interior of the capillary, while a portion of the sealing element that protrudes axially from the capillary can be subjected to a compressive force that is introduced via the capillary to obtain an axial or radial plastic and/or elastic deformation.

An assembly for connecting a line includes a connector for detachable connection of a line, a line that can be connected to the connector, and an intermediate element for connection to the connector and the line. The intermediate element is secured on the line in such a manner that it separates the line and the connector from one another.
