Method for manufacturing a pipe for a pipeline, wherein at least part of the pipe is manufactured by additive manufacturing process, wherein at least one space for an ultrasonic transducer is formed inside the material of the pipe during the additive manufacturing process. The additive manufacturing process is interrupted before the space in closed, and the ultrasonic transducer is inserted in the open space, and the additive manufacturing process for manufacturing the pipe is continued. The invention also relates to such a pipe.

A seal for a fluid level sensor assembly mounted in a pipe includes a seal body arranged to be sealingly fitted around a sensor, the seal body having a first side defining a first lip and a second side defining a second lip, the second lip being thinner than the first lip, and a spring mounted to the seal and arranged to move the seal body along the sensor, when mounted around the sensor, such that the second lip provides a seal around the sensor and the first lip wipes the sensor to remove debris thereon.

A guided wave radar level gauge adapted for mounting on a nozzle of a tank, including an attachment collar with an opening configured to be aligned with the nozzle and to be secured by means of an annular clamping device, and a transmission line probe attached to an exterior end of a probe connector. The GWR level gauge further comprises an annular sealing gasket fitted in the collar opening, the annular sealing gasket having a central opening through which the central probe connector extends, and a distancing sleeve arranged around the exterior end of the probe connector and having a radially protruding collar portion, wherein processing circuitry is configured to detect an impedance change caused by tank content or condensate which has passed through the central opening of the sealing gasket and collected in an annular space immediately surrounding the radially protruding collar portion.

A fluid level sensor assembly includes a first pipe component defining a flow path for the fluid and configured to be attached to a valve to control flow of the fluid from the first pipe component, and a fluid level sensor arranged in or on the first pipe component to detect a level of fluid in the first pipe component and to generate a command signal for operation of the valve according to the level detected. The assembly also includes an insert fitted to an end of the first pipe component and extending axially from the end to be fitted to an inlet of the valve, in use, wherein the insert is configured to secure the first pipe component against rotation relative to the valve inlet when the insert is fitted to the inlet.

The present disclosure relates to a measuring system including: an automation field device embodied for determining and/or monitoring a process variable of a medium; a connection unit, which includes a connection plug, which is electrically connected with the field device, and a cable, which is connected to the connection plug with a cable connection and which serves for supplying the field device with electrical energy and/or for transmitting information between the field device and a superordinated unit; and a protective cover, which surrounds the connection unit and the field device connected with the connection unit in a protection section, wherein by means of the protective cover the impact resistance of the measuring system in the protection section is increased.

A coupling member for coupling components within a coolant circuit includes a conduit having a first end configured to couple to a first component and a second end configured to couple to a second component, wherein, in use, a coolant fluid passes from the first component to the second component through the conduit. The coupling member further includes a sensor integral with the conduit and positioned between the first and second ends of the conduit, the sensor being configured to detect the presence of gas or air within the conduit.

The present invention relates to a system (100) for the flow-guiding or fluid-guiding connection of an element (200) to a counterpart 300, comprising: a first seal (110), consisting of a valve body (101) and a first seal element (102) which is arranged in a fluid channel (301), the valve body (101) being configured, by interaction with the seal element (102), to be able to be displaced or moved between an open position, in which a fluid, more particularly gas, can flow through the fluid channel (301), and a closed position, in which no fluid, more particularly gas, can flow through the fluid channel (301), and a second seal (120), which is arranged downstream of the first seal (110) in the fluid channel (301) in a flow-out direction A of the fluid flowing through/out of the fluid channel (301) and is configured to seal a connection region 302 between the fluid channel (301) and the element (200), more particularly to seal same in a gas-tight manner, the second seal (120) being designed such that, when the element (200) is connected to the counterpart (300), the second seal seals the connection region 302 before the first seal (110) can be or is mechanically displaced or moved into the open position.

A sensor arrangement (1) is described comprising a sensor housing (2) and a mounting connector (3). Such a sensor arrangement should be soldered to a refrigeration system without being sensitive for vibrations during operation of the system and without deteriorating a sensor arranged in the housing. To this end the mounting connector (3) is at least partly made of a bi-metal material with an inner layer (10) of steel and an outer layer (11) of copper.

A fitting or connector for use in constructing a tubing assembly is made by bonding an olefin gasket to an end face of a polypropylene fitting member. The gasket is bonded to the fitting member via a heat fusion technique that causes localized melting together of the gasket and the fitting and generates a composite fitting or connector.

Clamping apparatus is provided including clamp means for clamping two or more items together in use. The clamping means are arranged to move between a clamped and an unclamped position in use. Attachment means are provided on or associated with the clamping means for attaching one or more components to said clamping means in use. The components consist of any or any combination of one or more sensor means, one or more dispensing means or one or more electronic components. The clamping means includes at least one band member. The at least one band member forms an outer band and the attachment means are provided on or associated with at least an additional band member in the form of an inner band or segment that is provided with or associated with the outer band.
