Connecting device for corrugated pipe and coupling method thereof
Provided is a corrugated pipe connection device. The device includes a corrugated pipe including a groove and a ridge that are successively and alternately formed, a nut into which one side portion of the corrugated pipe is inserted, wherein the nut has a screw-thread on an inner circumferential surface thereof, a clamping ring being formed in a ring shape cut at one place thereof and including an inner portion formed convexly in a radially inward direction of the corrugated pipe to be inserted into the groove of the corrugated pipe and an outer portion protruded in a radially outward direction from the inner portion, wherein the outer portion comprises an outer circumferential surface, and a socket having a screw-thread on an outer circumferential surface thereon onto which the nut is screwed.
FLUID FITTING
A fluid fitting includes a nut, a sleeve, and a union. The union and the nut may include corresponding stops and corresponding markings. Corresponding stops and corresponding marking may engage with each other when the nut is sufficiently connected with the union. A method of connecting a fitting includes connecting a sleeve of the fitting with a nut of the fitting, connecting the nut with a union, rotating at least one of the nut and the union until a stop of the nut engages a stop of the union, restricting over torque via the stop of the nut and the stop of the union, and verifying a sufficient connection if first markings of the nut align with second markings of the union.
PIPELINE FITTING WITH VIBRATION COMPENSATOR
A pipeline fitting, which comprises connection support elements and can be easily installed and removed, for indirectly connecting a first pipe connection to a second pipe connection. Compression joints between the first and second connection support elements of the pipeline fitting and a first and a second compression joint flange on a first and a second compression joint connector can be produced in the longitudinal direction of the pipeline fitting. This is achieved in that the pipeline fitting features a vibration compensator with an elastic bellows, as well as a respective tubular fitting section and a sealing ring integrally formed thereon to both sides of the bellows in the longitudinal direction, wherein the sealing ring can be clamped between a connecting flange of the connection support element and the compression joint flange of the compression joint connector.
Ring for fastening a pipe to a tubular body and connection means comprising such a ring
The invention concerns a ring (4) for fastening a pipe (1) to a tubular body (2). According to the invention, the ring comprises two rigid sectors (5) that are coupled to each other by at least one elastically deformable annular portion (12), the two sectors and the portion being a single part, each sector (5) having an inner face (6), protruding from which at least one anchoring stud (7) extends radially, intended to be received in a housing correspondingly provided in a wall of the pipe, each anchoring stud (7) comprising two grooves (9) extending circumferentially to either side of said anchoring stud. The invention also concerns connection means comprising such a ring.
Method of manufacturing a pipe having a connecting flange
The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a pipe having a connecting flange, wherein the flange part is welded to an end face pipe end and at least one protrusion of the pipe or of the flange part is provided in the region of the flange hub and contacts the inner wall of the other part on the joining together of the pipe and the flange part to cover the formed weld joint to the pipe interior; and wherein finally the pipe and the flange part are welded to one another.
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.
ENHANCED UNION CONNECTION
An enhanced union connection for connecting tubular members together. The enhanced union connection may include a male end member, a female end member, a wing nut, and nut retaining segments. The union connection
FLUIDIC CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY FOR QUICK CONNECT/DISCONNECT
A fluidic connection assembly and methods for quickly connecting or disconnecting a tube to a port by hand and without the use of tools. A body is adapted to receive a tube therethrough, and may have at least two sides which are hinged. Each of the hinged sides has corresponding latching portions or projections located near a lower end of the body. These projections are adapted to fit into a port or other fitting and be securely held in place. The assembly may include a tube extending through a body and through a spring located between the end of the body and the end of the tube, whereby the spring exerts a force directly or indirectly against the end of the tube and against the body, thus holding the tubing securely and sealingly engaged in the port when the assembly is connected. The body may further comprise an additional body or an adapter, and/or a cap and latch. A second spring may be used to push a projecting member into a groove or notch of an adapter when an end of the adapter is inserted into one end of the latch or the body. The fluidic connection assembly is useful in analytical instrument systems, such as for in vitro applications and/or in high pressure applications, among other things, and may be used in methods for connecting, or disconnecting, tubing or a fluidic connection assembly from a port or other fitting or connection.
Swage visual indicator for fluid coupling
A swage visual indicator for a fluid coupling is disclosed and related methods. The swage visual indicator is achieved by a non-destructive visual indication of a swaging process by one or more swage apertures formed through a flange filled with an indicator material. The swage apertures communicate with swaging grooves of the fluid conveying components being joined. As the swaging process is conducted, the swaging grooves are filled with material from one of the fluid conveying components, and the indicator material within the aperture(s) is therefore displaced in a direction toward the exposed exterior surface of the flange. According to a successful swaging process, the indicator material is displaced to a degree such that the indicator material is visible by the unaided eye of an inspector.
PIPE CONNECTOR
A pipe end connector assembly and a method of mounting a pipe end connector assembly. The connector assembly may include a first connector configured to selectively mount to an outer surface of a pipe; and a second connector connected to the first connector and configured to selectively mount to the outer surface of the pipe, the first connector and the second connector being operable to apply opposing and negating axial forces to mount the connector assembly to the pipe.
