Flow through connectors and pressure sensing devices as well as their methods of use are described. In some instances a pressuring sensing device may include a ceramic body with a flow path extending through the ceramic body and at least one non-ceramic body attached to the ceramic body. The at least one non-ceramic body may include one or more attachment features formed therein and the flow path extends through the at least one non-ceramic body as well.

A fitting element is configured for coupling tubing to a fluidic device having a receiving cavity configured for receiving the fitting element, where the tubing has an inner contact surface of a biocompatible material, the inner contact surface being configured to contact a fluid to be conducted by the tubing, and the receiving cavity having a receiving contact surface of a bio-compatible material. The fitting element includes a first sealing element of a bio-compatible material configured for sealing to the bio-compatible material of the inner contact surface of the tubing, and a second sealing element configured for sealing against a pressure ambient to a pressure of the fluid in the tubing. Upon coupling of the tubing to the fluidic device, at least a portion of the receiving contact surface, the first sealing element, and the second sealing element enclose an interspace, each surface of the interspace being a bio-compatible material.

The present invention proposes a mechanical fitting for connecting pipes or for attaching a pipe. The fitting comprises a main fitting body extending axially between a body end and an open end defining an insertion space for a pipe, designed to close over a pipe, a crimping ring mounted over the main fitting body for tightening the main fitting body over the pipe. The crimping ring comprises a ring body in a form of an open ring connected by a crimping ear projecting radially outwardly from the ring body, the crimping ear being deformable to close the crimping ring over the pipe during the crimping process. The mechanical fitting has an anti-deformation arrangement for preventing deformation of the pipe inserted therein during crimping. A method of assembly is further proposed

A mechanical fitting for connecting pipes or for attaching a pipe is provided. The mechanical fitting comprises: a main body extending axially between a body end and an open end defining an insertion space for a pipe, a grip ring designed to close over a pipe, and a nut movably mounted over the main body for tightening the ring. The grip ring has an outer ring surface and an inner ring surface, wherein the inner ring surface has an inner friction coefficient for defining an inner friction interface between the pipe and the grip ring, the outer ring surface has an outer friction coefficient for defining an outer friction interface between the grip ring and one of the main body and the nut, wherein the inner friction coefficient is higher the outer friction coefficient. An assembly and a method of assembly are also proposed.
