A system and method for a hose with degradation monitoring is disclosed. The system includes a sensor having one or more first alignment features, a contactless switch, and a light transmitter configured to transmit a light transfer protocol. A gateway device is configured to wirelessly receive data from the sensor, and includes one or more second alignment features that are configured to align with the one or more first alignment features, a trigger configured to activate the contactless switch only when the one or more second alignment features are aligned with the one or more first alignment features, and a phototransistor configured to capture and record the light transfer protocol transmitted from the light transmitter.

Disclosed is a fluid connection system including a sleeve, a pipe and a fluid connector, the fluid connector including at least one rigid body made from a sterilizable biocompatible material, and the pipe including a flexible connection portion made from a sterilizable biocompatible material that is at least partially elastomeric. The fluid connector and the flexible connection portion of the pipe are assembled to one another, with the flexible connection portion of the pipe surrounding the rigid body, and the sleeve being shrunk tightly, but with free movement, on the pipe.

A fluid transfer assembly is described that includes a fitting comprising a lumen having an opening, and at least one barb, the at least one barb extending circumferentially around the lumen proximate to the opening. The assembly also includes a flexible conduit, a deformable sleeve, and an elastomeric liner disposed between the sleeve and the conduit. The fitting extends at least partially into the conduit such that the conduit extends over the at least one barb. The elastomeric liner applies substantially 360 degree radial pressure to the conduit such that the conduit is sealingly compressed around the at least one barb of the fitting. The assembly is fluid tight up to a burst pressure of the conduit.

A connector assembly is provided comprising an adaptor, a first hose, a second hose and a fixing ring, wherein the adaptor comprises a first end section allocated to the first hose and a second end section allocated to the second hose, wherein a middle section of the adaptor is located between the first end section and the second end section, wherein the adaptor has a through bore for guiding a fluid. The first and second hoses surround the first and second end sections of the adaptor in a press-fit manner, wherein the second hose overlaps the first hose over at least a part of the middle section of the adaptor defining a hose overlap region. The inner overlapping surface sections of the first hose and the second hose are free of circumferential indentations in a relaxed condition of the first hose and the second hose.

In a connecting coupling (1), it is provided that on at least one rib (8) of a rib structure (7) of a hose nipple (6), at least two rib portions (9, 10) are oriented at an angle relative to one another such that the course directions (17, 18) in the rib portions (9, 10) are oriented at an angle relative to one another.

Techniques for implementing a pipeline system that includes one or more pipe segments, in which each pipe segment of the one or more pipe segments includes tubing that defines a pipe bore and a fluid conduit implemented in an annulus of the tubing, and a re-deployable pipe fitting to be secured to the one or more pipe segments. The re-deployable pipe fitting includes a fitting body that defines a fitting bore through the re-deployable pipe fitting and a threaded fitting jacket to be deformed around the tubing of a pipe segment of the one or more pipe segments to facilitate securing the re-deployable pipe fitting to the pipe segment. The threaded fitting jacket includes jacket threading that enables the threaded fitting jacket to be coupled to the fitting body, removed from the fitting body, or both without using hot tooling.

Disclosed is a fluid connection system including a sleeve, a pipe and a fluid connector, the fluid connector including at least one rigid body made from a sterilizable biocompatible material, and the pipe including a flexible connection portion made from a sterilizable biocompatible material that is at least partially elastomeric. The fluid connector and the flexible connection portion of the pipe are assembled to one another, with the flexible connection portion of the pipe surrounding the rigid body, and the sleeve being shrunk tightly, but with free movement, on the pipe.

A pipe end fitting assembly that includes an outer body having an outer surface, an inner surface defining a first bore, and an end surface, and an inner body having an inner surface defining a second bore and an outer surface. A portion of the inner body outer surface is secured to the outer body inner surface. A passage formed in the outer body includes a first portion extending from the end surface and parallel to the first bore, and a second portion extending from the outer body outer surface to the passage first portion. A pipe end is disposed around and secured to a portion of the inner body outer surface. A jacket is disposed around the pipe and has an end secured to the outer body outer surface. The passage portions are in fluid communication with each other and a space between the jacket and the pipe.

A fitting (30) for fluid communication with a fluid conduit includes a first fluid conduit connection portion (42), a second fluid conduit connection portion (42), a header (60) disposed axially between the first fluid conduit connection portion and the second fluid conduit connection portion, and a socket (70). A fluid fitting may include a nipple (40), a radial projection (48) connected to the nipple, and an axial protrusion (120) extending from the radial projection. The axial protrusion may be configured to protrude into an axial end of a fluid conduit (80). A fluid fitting may include a fluid conduit connection portion (42) and a dynamic tip (130) connected to an end of the fluid conduit connection portion. The dynamic tip may be configured to expand in response to an increase in fluid pressure.

A flexible conduit for transporting fluids in a fluid system, such a fluid system on an aircraft, and methods of assembling the flexible conduit described. The flexible conduit can include a flexible inner hose for transporting a fluid. The flexible inner hose can be surrounded by a flexible outer wall which can contain any leakage of fluid from the flexible inner hose. The flexible inner hose and the flexible outer wall can be coupled on each end to ferrules. Swage rings can be swaged to secure the flexible inner hose and the flexible outer wall to the ferrules.
