A low-profile fluid manifold includes a tunable passive flow control system through intricate internal flow channels. The low-profile fluid manifold is manufactured using stereolithography (SLA) additive manufacturing to rapidly produce and tune the intricate flow channels to achieve the desired flow characteristics. Further, SLA additive manufacturing is used to build up inlet and outlet orifices in the flow direction, creating sealing surfaces for parallel oriented seals and sealing surfaces. The low-profile fluid manifold is manufactured to be air and liquid tight at the required operating pressures, temperatures, and environments, without the use of traditional fittings.

A vent structure for large volume liquid storage tanks having a double gooseneck shape with vent openings facing downward, formed as a single structure from a mold tool with multipart extractable cores for forming the structure from corrosive resistant materials without a need for substantial post machining.

A soft-melted parison is disposed in molds forming a shape of a measurement pipeline portion 10, the parison is expanded by means of gas inflow, and blow molding is performed. The shapes of a pipe body 11, a fluid inlet portion 12, and a fluid outlet portion 13 are formed by an inner mold of the molds. Ultrasonic wave input-output portions 14a and 14b bulging outwards in a sealed manner are formed on both sides positioned in the oblique direction of the pipe body 11 with respect to a center line of the pipe body 11. Parts of the ultrasonic wave input-output portions 14a and 14b are wall surfaces 15a and 15b for attaching ultrasonic wave transmission-reception units. The measurement pipeline portion 10 is obtained by cutting end portions of the fluid inlet portion 12 and the fluid outlet portion 13 after the parison is solidified.

A method for manufacturing an arrangement for the transport of media includes a base body formed as a blow-molded part and at least one functional element, in which a preform consisting of polymeric material and at least one functional element are provided and arranged in a blow mold, wherein the base body is formed from the preform, wherein the preform bears against the functional element during forming, wherein the blow mold has a first mold element and a second mold element, wherein the base body is formed from the preform between the first mold element and the second mold element, wherein the first mold element and the second mold element bear against the functional element in such a way that excess material produced from the preform in the area of the functional element during blow molding can be removed.

A method for manufacturing a connector-integrated resin tube includes: a fitting step in which an end portion of a resin tube material including a straight tube portion is fitted into an end portion of a connector of a tubular shape; a joining step in which the end portion of the resin tube material and the end portion of the connector that have been fitted are joined by laser welding; a heating holding step in which a posture holding die including a bending processing portion for bending processing of the straight tube portion is used to hold the straight tube portion in a heated and bent state at the bending processing portion of the posture holding die; and a cooling step in which the straight tube portion is cooled.

Provided are an inlet pipe including a curved portion having a curved shape, and a molding method thereof. In the molding method of the inlet pipe, that one part of the inlet pipe which includes a curved portion having a large curvature is molded by injection molding, and the other part of the inlet pipe except the one part molded by the injection molding is molded by blow molding.

A molding apparatus that adsorbs thermoplastic resin extruded in a sheet form from an extruding machine, onto a cavity of a mold, and shapes the thermoplastic resin into a shape according to the cavity is provided. The molding apparatus may include a frame that is positioned on a periphery of the mold and is movable relative to the mold, wherein a suction part for suctioning the thermoplastic resin is provided in a contact surface of the frame to contact the thermoplastic resin, and the suction part is provided in a linear shape along with a longitudinal direction of the frame positioned on the periphery of the mold.

Provided are: a pipe-shaped integrally molded article which is formed by molding a polyphenylene sulfide resin composition, and which has, at one or more portions thereof, at least one selected from different-shape sections, bent sections, and different-diameter sections, the pipe-shaped integrally molded article being characterized in that the total length L (mm) thereof is 1000 or more, and the ratio (L/D) of the total length L (mm) to the outer diameter D (mm) of the pipe-shaped integrally molded article is 20 or more: and a production method for the pipe-shaped integrally molded article. According to the present invention, it is possible to efficiently provide a pipe-shaped integrally molded article having a desired large length and including a three-dimensionally complicated shape, by using a PPS resin composition having excellent heat resistance and chemical resistance.
