A pipe joint (1) comprising: a tubular main body (10) having a flow path inside, which is formed of a resin comprising a copolymer having one or more selected from a vinyl cyanide monomer unit and an acrylic monomer unit, a rubber component, and an aromatic vinyl monomer unit; and a socket section (20a) integrally formed with the main body (10), wherein: the main body (10) has a foamed resin layer (30) and a non-foamed resin layer (50) covering the foamed resin layer (30); the amount of the rubber component in the foamed resin layer (30) as determined by pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry is within a specific range; the amount of the rubber component in the non-foamed resin layer (50) is within a specific range; and a ratio (L.sub.a/L.sub.a) of length (L.sub.a) from a base end (21a) to an opening end (22a) of the socket section (20a) to a thickness (d.sub.a) of the socket section (20a) at the opening end is 2.0 or more and 10.0 or less.

A resin joint 20 includes an outer cylinder 21 molded by a resin material capable of transmitting laser light and an inner cylinder 22 disposed facing the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder 21. An annular protrusion 22b that protrudes in the radial direction and extends in the circumferential direction is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder 21 or the outer peripheral surface of the inner cylinder 22. The axial end of the resin tube 10 is inserted into an annular space 30 and is deformed in the radial direction following the annular protrusion 22b, and a region deformed in the radial direction has a surface that is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder 21. The inner peripheral surface of the outer cylinder 21 and the outer peripheral surface of the resin tube 10 are laser-welded.

A method of joining fiberglass-reinforced composite pipes includes joining an inner tube of each pipe by fusion to form a fused bond, joining fiber reinforced polymer tubes of each pipe by depositing a silica glass particle epoxy directly on the fused bond and on bonded edges of the fiber reinforced polymer tubes as a composition to cover tube edges and the fused inner tube bond, and curing the composition.

A coupling fitting comprises a pipeline and a connector sleeve. The pipeline and connector sleeve are each separate parts and are fixedly and non-detachably connected to one another by a connecting ring which can be produced in situ by injection molding plastics material. The invention is also directed to a method for making the coupling fitting.

An adapter for connecting a separated-outlet fluid cartridge to a single-inlet static mixer includes a lock mechanism and a lock release mechanism. The adapter includes a connection portion that engages the mixer. The lock mechanism has at least one snap arm that lockingly engages the cartridge in a snap fit manner so as to secure the adapter to the cartridge in fluid communication. When in the locked position, separate fluids are evacuated from the cartridge into the mixer where they are mixed prior to dispensing. The lock release mechanism quickly and easily unlocks the at least one snap arm from the cartridge for allowing a user to separate the adapter from the cartridge. The adapter sealing engages with both the mixer and the cartridge so that fluid flowing from the cartridge to the mixer does not leak.
