20200200295 · 2020-06-25 ·

A conduit (100) for transporting a fluid comprises a first collar (102), a second collar (103), a bellows (108), and a sensor (116). The bellows (108) comprises a central axis (180), a first corrugated outboard ply (114), a corrugated inboard ply (110), interposed between the first corrugated outboard ply (114) and the central axis (180), an interstitial space (126), interposed between the corrugated inboard ply (110) and the first corrugated outboard ply (114), and a second corrugated outboard ply (112) within the interstitial space (126). The corrugated inboard ply (110), the first corrugated outboard ply (114), and a weld-through ring (150) are welded to the first collar (102) and the second collar (102). The second corrugated outboard ply (112) is not hermetically coupled to the first collar (102) or the second collar (103). The sensor (116) is communicatively coupled with the interstitial space (126).

Method for fixing a tube to a connector, and connecting kit

A fastening method for fastening a tube (50) to a connector (101, 102), the method comprising the following steps: a) providing a connection kit comprising a sleeve, and a coupling for connecting together at least one pair of tubes, of generally tubular shape; b) placing the coupling in a first position in which the first end of the coupling projects outside the sleeve through a first end (10A) thereof; c) then fastening the first tube in leaktight manner to the first orifice; d) moving the coupling relative to the sleeve into a second position in which the first orifice lies inside the sleeve; and e) with the coupling in the second position, fastening the sleeve (10) at a sufficient distance from the coupling (20). A connection kit for performing the method.

WATERTIGHT ELECTRICAL CONDUIT

A rigid conduit (for example, a metal conduit) featuring an electrofusable section secured to the rigid conduit to allow the rigid conduit to be electrofusion welded to another component of the fueling installation, such as a sump or further electrofusable conduit, is provided by the present disclosure. In certain exemplifications, multiple spaced electrofusable sections are provided on the rigid conduit, with corrosion resistant sections spanning the electrofusable sections in certain arrangements.

Sealing grommet and cable feedthrough containing a sealing grommet

A sealing grommet for a sealed feedthrough of a strand-shaped element through a wall, in particular for a cable feedthrough for the automotive sector, is configured for insertion in an installation direction into an opening, bordered by the wall and with a predefined opening width. The sealing grommet has a grommet body with a push-through area which extends in the installation direction and which is fed through the opening in the installation direction during installation, in such a way that it engages behind the wall in the installed state. An auxiliary element facilitating the insertion into the opening is provided, which has a circumferential sliding area containing at least one sliding surface, and wherein the at least one sliding surface bears at least partially on a circumferential surface of the push-through area.

Watertight electrical conduit

A rigid conduit (for example, a metal conduit) featuring an electrofusable section secured to the rigid conduit to allow the rigid conduit to be electrofusion welded to another component of the fueling installation, such as a sump or further electrofusable conduit, is provided by the present disclosure. In certain exemplifications, multiple spaced electrofusable sections are provided on the rigid conduit, with corrosion resistant sections spanning the electrofusable sections in certain arrangements.

Arrangement for adjoining a support structure to a pipe

An arrangement for use in adjoining a support structure to a pipe that passes through the support structure. The arrangement comprises a mount attachable to the support structure. Radial bellows are connected to the mount. The bellows are arranged in use to extend circumferentially around a pipe and be connectable thereto such that a volume is defined by the bellows, mount and pipe.

Distribution boom for stationary or mobile viscous material pumps

This disclosure relates to a distribution boom for stationary or mobile viscous material pumps, comprising at least one boom arm having a box profile. The boom arm has two side walls which are arranged at a distance from one another and which are connected to one another by means of two transverse walls which are arranged at a distance from one another. Each side wall has a lead-through opening for a conveying line. Provision is made according to this disclosure for there to extend between the side walls a tube which is fixedly connected thereto and which opens by way of the tube ends thereof into the lead-through openings. Between the tube ends and the adjacent side wall there is arranged a respective flange which projects in an encircling manner over an outer border of the respective tube end and is welded both to the tube end and to the side wall in question.
