A weldless thru wall fitting that provides a leak free connection to a vessel that can easily be installed and removed. The fitting also provides an integrated, removable, and repositionable dip tube to allow the liquid stored in the vessel to the drained via gravity to a level below the entry point of the fitting.

An embodiment of a fluid valve includes a substantially flat face plate, a receptacle, a cavity, and a valve assembly. The receptacle is disposed in the face plate and has at least one protrusion each configured to engage a respective at least one groove of a valve-opening-and-fluid-dispensing device. The cavity has a front end in fluid communication with the receptacle, and has a rear end. And the valve assembly is disposed in the cavity, includes a first sealing ring, is configured to form a seal by urging the sealing ring against the rear end of the cavity in response to the valve-opening-and-fluid-dispensing device being absent from the receptacle, and is configured to allow fluid to flow into the rear end of the cavity in response to the valve-opening-and-fluid-dispensing device being disposed in the receptacle.

An industrial process transmitter includes a main housing, a sensor body, and a flange member. The main housing contains transmitter circuitry and includes a first threaded portion. The sensor body includes a process sensor and a second threaded portion in threaded engagement with the first threaded portion. One of the first and second threaded portions includes a threaded cylindrical projection, and the other includes a threaded cylindrical bore. The flange member is received within a groove of the projection. Movement of the sensor body relative to the housing along an axis of the bore is restricted to an axial distance through engagement between the flange and the first or second threaded portion that includes the threaded cylindrical bore, and engagement between the main housing and the sensor body. Rotation of the sensor body relative to the housing about the axis is limited by the axial distance.

A pipeline connection device includes a first connecting member, a second connecting member and a sealing member. The first connecting member includes a first channel and an abutting portion. The second connecting member includes a second channel and a first groove portion. The first groove portion includes a first side wall and a first receiving groove to receive the sealing member. At least part of the abutting portion is received in the first receiving groove and abuts against the sealing element. A first gap not greater than 0.3 mm is provided between the abutting portion and the first side wall; or the first connecting member and the second connecting member include at most two annular friction surfaces. As a result, mutual jamming of the first connecting member and the second connecting member can be avoided. Besides, a pipeline adapting assembly having the pipeline connection device is disclosed.

A hydraulic adapter unit includes a hose connecting member and a pipe member. The hose connecting member is a substantially cylindrical hose connecting member, and includes: a hose fixing portion positioned at one end side of the hose connecting member and to which the hose is fixed; a first combining portion positioned at the other end side of the hose connecting member; and an intermediate portion linking the hose fixing portion and the first combining portion. The pipe member includes: a substantially tubular pipe body; a second combining portion disposed at the one end side of the pipe body and separably combined to the first combining portion of the hose connecting member; and a flange portion disposed at the other end side of the pipe body and formed so as to project outward in the radial direction of the pipe body and fixed to a hydraulic device.

A tube assembly (12) including an inner tube (13) having an outer thread (15), an outer thread (14) having an inner thread (16) engaging the outer thread (15), at least for securing an angular position between the inner tube (13) and the outer tube (14) is provided. Such a tube assembly should facilitate mounting and maintenance of a reverse osmosis system. To this end, the inner tube (13) includes at least an groove (17) on its outer surface and the outer tube (14) includes an recess (18) on its inner surface, wherein a blocking element is arranged in a space formed by the recess (18) and the groove (17) in overlapping relation with the groove (17) and the recess (18).

A hydraulic fluid actuator has a housing and a seal member. The housing has a hydraulic hose port that is configured to receive a hydraulic hose. The seal member seals the hydraulic hose port. The seal member includes a frangible section configured to rupture upon attachment of the hydraulic hose into the hydraulic hose port with the seal member remaining between the hydraulic hose and the hydraulic hose port after attachment.

An apparatus for controlling flow induced vibrations in a section of pipeline caused by a flow of liquid therethrough comprising: a sensor for measuring flow induced vibrations of the section of pipeline; a mechanical means for adjusting the natural frequency of the section of pipeline; wherein the mechanical means automatically adjusts the natural frequency of the section of pipeline based on the measured vibration in order to reduce the flow induced vibration.

A quick release coupling includes male and female connector assemblies releasably secured together. The male connector assembly includes two parallel male connectors and the female connector assembly includes two parallel female connectors. A sleeve assembly is releasably connected to one ends of the female connectors. A plunger assembly is provided in each of the sleeve assembly and female connector. A sleeving assembly is provided on each of the female connector and the sleeve assembly. The parallel female connectors can be disconnected from the parallel male connectors or connected together at the same time. After the female connectors have disengaged from the male connectors, leakproof arrangements in the female connector assembly act to prevent water in the female connector assembly from leaking.

A greenhouse comprises a support frame and a spray pipe including pipes and pipe joints, the pipe joint comprises a connecting pipe and two rotary sleeves, the two adjacent pipes are respectively inserted into the connecting pipe, ends of a first pipe are respectively sleeved with a sealing sleeve and a locking sleeve, and each of the ends of the first pipe is further sleeved with a washer. When the rotary sleeve is thread-tightened, the connecting pipe and the locking sleeve are capable of respectively abutting and pressing against two sides of the washer, under abutting and pushing of the rotary sleeve and limiting of the washer, the locking sleeve is capable of grasping the first pipe and forming an axial positioning with the rotary sleeve. An inner edge of an end surface of the connecting pipe has a sealing tapered surface capable of acting on the sealing sleeve.
