Techniques for implementing a system that includes pipe segment tubing and a pipe fitting to be secured to the pipe segment tubing. The pipe segment tubing includes a reinforcement strip implemented between an internal pressure sheath layer and an outer sheath of the pipe segment tubing. The pipe fitting includes an inner fitting body to be inserted between the internal pressure sheath layer and the reinforcement strip of the pipe segment tubing. Additionally, the pipe fitting includes an outer fitting body to be disposed circumferentially around the inner fitting body to define a potting cavity between an inner surface of the outer fitting body and an outer surface of the inner fitting body, in which a hole is formed through the reinforcement strip of the pipe segment tubing before the reinforcement strip is anchored in the potting cavity via cured potting material.

A nozzle for a servo valve comprises an annular body defining an outer circumferential surface and an inner circumferential surface of the nozzle. An annular groove is disposed around the circumference of the annular body in the outer circumferential surface. A nozzle assembly (N) for a servo valve comprises the nozzle and a nozzle housing having a nozzle cavity defined by an inner circumferential cavity surface. The nozzle housing has an annular groove disposed around the circumference of the nozzle cavity in the inner circumferential cavity surface. The nozzle is received within the nozzle cavity such that the annular grooves in the nozzle and the nozzle housing are in fluid communication with each other.

An electrical isolator includes comprising: a first fluid-carrying member a second fluid-carrying member spaced apart from the first fluid-carrying member to form a gap; a resistive, semi-conductive or non-conductive component extending across the gap and bonded to the first and second fluid-carrying members so as to provide a fluid tight seal between the first fluid-carrying member and the resistive, semi-conductive or non-conductive component and between the second fluid-carrying member and the resistive, semi-conductive or non-conductive component. The isolator also includes a reinforcing composite encircling the first fluid-carrying member, the second fluid-carrying member and the resistive, semi-conductive or non-conductive component.

Disclosed is a fluid conduit connection of a vapor compression system having a cooling capacity of less than or equal to 60,000 Btu/hour comprising a first fluid conduit comprising a first aluminum alloy and having first fluid conduit outside hydraulic diameter of greater than or equal to 7 millimeters, a second fluid conduit comprising a second aluminum alloy, a second fluid conduit cross-sectional flow area, and having a second fluid conduit outside hydraulic diameter of less than or equal to 7 millimeters, an engagement between the first fluid conduit and the second fluid conduit, and a sealing material disposed within the engagement serving to mechanically bind and seal the fluid conduit connection, wherein a ratio of a cross sectional flow area of a throat of the fluid conduit connection divided by the second fluid conduit cross-sectional flow area is between 0.1 and 0.6.

Techniques for implementing a pipeline system including a pipe segment and a potted pipe fitting. The pipe segment includes tubing having an internal pressure sheath layer, a reinforcement strip, and an outer sheath layer. The potted pipe fitting includes an outer fitting body disposed around a portion of the reinforcement strip, an inner fitting body disposed between the portion of the reinforcement strip and the internal pressure sheath layer, in which the inner fitting body directly abuts the internal pressure sheath layer at least up to a point where the reinforcement strip begins to flare away from the internal pressure sheath layer and a potting cavity of the potted pipe fitting is defined at least between an inner surface of the outer fitting body and an outer surface of the inner fitting body, and cured potting material implemented around the portion of the reinforcement strip in the potting cavity.
