Dynamic Bellows Fluid Fitting
A fitting for a fluid line that will contain pressurized fluid can include first and second fitting elements with respective sealing surfaces and an indicator element for indicating when a fluid seal has been formed. A fitting for a fluid line that will contain pressurized fluid can include first and second fitting elements with a sealing structure secured in one of the first and second fitting elements, wherein the sealing structure is axially resiliently compressible, one example of which includes a bellows element.
STRUCTURE FOR PREVENTING LEAK AT SYNTHETIC RESIN TUBE JOINT
Disclosed is a structure for preventing a leak at a synthetic resin tube joint, which includes a synthetic resin tube including a tapered portion at an end portion; a ferrule inserted into the end portion of the synthetic resin tube and including a tapered portion corresponding to the tapered portion of the synthetic resin tube; a fitting which accommodates the synthetic resin tube and the ferrule, and includes a tapered portion corresponding to the tapered portion of the synthetic resin tube and a protrusion formed on the tapered portion of the fitting, and a nut which engages with the fitting.
Tube fitting
A tube fitting including a sleeve member having a circumferential collar portion, the circumferential collar portion including a first tapered surface, a first coupling member having a circumferential engagement flange portion configured to couple with the circumferential collar portion of the sleeve member, and a second coupling member that includes a longitudinally extended sealing portion. The longitudinally extended sealing portion includes a second tapered surface that couples with the first tapered surface so as to circumferentially expand the longitudinally extended sealing portion, when the first tapered surface and the second tapered surface are coupled to each other, and form a fluid seal between the second coupling member and the sleeve member.
TONGUED AND GROOVED FLUID TRANSPORT SUBCOMPONENTS AND ASSEMBLIES
A fluid transport coupling subcomponent can include a body having a first axial end with a first axial face, a second axial end, and a hollow conduit extending between the first and second axial ends, a tongue extending longitudinally from the first axial face; and a groove recessed into the first axial face. The tongue can extend a distance, D.sub.T1, from the first axial face and the groove can extend a distance, D.sub.G1, into the body from the planar face, where D.sub.G1 and D.sub.T1 can be different.
Purifier cassette
The present disclosure relates to purification cassettes that have reinforcing features. One embodiment relates to a purification cassette with tensions members. A purification system may include a removable cassette defining a media cavity. A set of tension members may span between a first sidewall and second sidewall. The set of tension members can divide the media cavity into a plurality of lanes.
Securing assembly for screwed hose end connectors
A screwed end connector assembly includes a threaded connector having a conical end portion for the reception of a mating hose fitting. The connector has a flange which includes at least one arcuate, circumferentially extending slot. A nut for threaded engagement with the connector, for securing a hose end fitting to the conical portion of the connector, has a polygonal exterior. A member has an aperture for fitment over and irrotational engagement with the exterior of the nut and includes at least one hole positionable in axial register with the said slot.
Fluid inlet adapter
An adapter for selectively providing fluid to a device from one of multiple fluid sources has a body with a first inlet for connecting a first one of the multiple fluid sources to the device and a second inlet for connecting a second one of the multiple fluid sources to the device. The adapter also includes a handle that is movably coupled to the body and includes an access control element. The handle is configured to secure the body to a device when the adapter is in either of a first position or a second position that is rotated relative to the first configuration. The access control element obstructs access to the second inlet when the adapter is secured to the device in the first position and the access control element obstructs access to the first inlet when the adapter is secured to the device in the second position.
Lockable connection between tubular members
A connection between a first tubular member and a second tubular member includes a first tubular end, a second tubular end, a load shoulder member threadable onto the first tubular end, and a nut receivable around the first tubular end and the load shoulder member and threadable onto the second tubular end. The connection also includes a keyway through the load shoulder member and into the first tubular end to receive a key member.
Threaded connectors between submersible well pump modules
An electrical submersible pump assembly has modules including a pump, a motor, and a pressure equalizer. A first adapter having threads is mounted to one of the modules. A second adapter is mounted to an adjacent one of the modules, the second adapter having a tubular body, a neck, and an external shoulder at a base of the neck. A collar is rotatably carried on the neck and in threaded engagement with the threads of the first adapter. A clamp secures around the neck between the external shoulder and the collar after the collar is fully engaged with the threads on the first adapter. A pair of flanges are mounted to and extend outward from the clamp. A motor lead locates between the flanges.
PIPE CONNECTING DEVICE
A pipe connecting device configured to connect at least two pipes, comprises a pipe including a catching ledge at a connecting end portion thereof and made of stainless steel or copper; a first connecting member formed in a cylindrical shape and having a spring seating portion on which a circular plate spring is seated, a pipe through-hole through which the pipe passes, and a screw recess provided inside the first connecting member; and a second connecting member provided with an o-ring seating portion on which an o-ring is seated at a side at which the pipe is coupled and an outer surface having a screw thread, wherein a through-portion having the same inner diameter as the pipe is formed in the second connecting member.
