A cylindrical shaped circumferential rib is integrally formed as a base protruding on the outer circumferential surface of a resin pipe. An annular sealant is externally fitted on one end portion of a metal member which is inserted in and fixed to the base to interpose the sealant between the one end portion and the inner circumferential surface of the base, allow the outer circumferential surface of the one end portion to press and restrict the movement of the sealant toward the inner side in the radial direction and toward the trailing end side of the one end portion in the insertion direction, and allow the inner circumferential surface of the base to press and restrict the movement of the sealant toward the outer side in the radial direction and toward the insertion direction distal end side of the one end portion.

A high strength joint material. A material for a joint between a ceramic body and a metal body. A material for a joint between a ceramic body and a ceramic body.

A shape memory alloy (SMA) sealing ring is deformed to provide a shape between a radially inner sealing portion and radially outer sealing portion thereof which has at least one peak and at least one trough. When the shape memory behaviour of the SMA is activated, this shape provides a sealing connection between a first and second member.

A system for producing chemicals, such as, ethylene or gasoline, at high temperature (above 1100 degrees C.) having a feedstock source. The system includes a chemical conversion portion connected with the feedstock source to receive feedstock and convert the feedstock to ethylene or gasoline. The conversion portion includes a coil array and a furnace that heats the feedstock to temperatures in excess of 1100 C. or 1200 C. or even 1250 C. or even 1300 C. or even 1400 C. A method for producing chemicals, such as ethylene or gasoline, at high temperature.

An apparatus and method for manufacturing glass objects comprising a glass blowing pipe and a metal mounting device configured to melt with glass to form a glass piece that is easily removed from the glass blowing pipe without the need to break the glass from the headstock of the glass blowing pipe, wherein the metal mounting device comprises a contact patch and a number of slits to secure the metal mounting device to the glass. A method for manufacturing a glass object utilizing a metal mounting insert is described. A glass object having a metal mounting insert for installation and use in other applications is also described.

A pipe coupling apparatus adapted to allow for the connection of older, common sewer or drain pipe made of concrete, clay or the like to that of the newer style polymers such as ABS, CPCV, PVC and the like. It accomplishes this through a novel connection method that eliminates having to cut off the bell end of the older sewer or drain pipe and provides for a method of stabilizing the alignment of the two connected pipes. The apparatus incorporates a pipe coupling and a flexible polymer transition sleeve, and depending on the dimensions of the pipes involved, may require an optional spacer seal ring. The assembly time is greatly reduced over the prior art methodologies and the coupled pipes are less likely to leak. It is available in both eccentric and concentric configurations.

A pipe fitting having a first body and a second body that together at least partially define a fluid flow passage. The first body defines a first portion of the fluid flow passage that extends from a first end of the fluid flow passage to a first internal opening. The second body defines a second portion of the fluid flow passage that extends from a second internal opening to a second end of the fluid flow passage. The first body has a first interface surface that surrounds the first internal opening, the first interface surface having a plurality of anti-rotation grooves. The second body has a second interface surface that surrounds the second internal opening and engages with the first interface surface. The first internal opening is in fluid communication with the second internal opening. The second interface surface has a plurality of anti-rotation fingers that are each received by and engage with a corresponding one of the anti-rotation grooves. Rotation of the second body relative to the first body is resisted by the engagement of the anti-rotation fingers with the anti-rotation grooves.

The disclosure relates to adapters, systems, and methods to connect a metal component and a ceramic component. The systems and methods generally include a metal header, a header seal and a zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA) header.
