Abstract:
The connection (5) comprises, between its screw-threaded connection portions, a stay (9) comprising at least one pair of openings (10) spaced by a predetermined distance and serving for the securement to each other, by rivets (19), of a retaining strap (11) of L shape with two wings cut out in U shape, the front wing (12) also having a pair of openings spaced by the same distance as the openings of the stay (9), as well as a marking identifying the gas corresponding to said spacing. Use in containers for cryogenic fluids.
Abstract:
A pipe or conduit labeler includes a saddle leg having an inside diameter equal to or slightly smaller than an outside diameter of a pipe or conduit to be labeled. The saddle leg is molded to a saddle stem which in turn is molded to a sign plate. A user either writes useful information directly on the sign plate or affixes a pre-made label to the plate. The sign plate optionally includes raised lettering or information such as an arrow pre-molded on the plate, or Braille characters. The labeler resiliently clips onto the pipe or conduit being labeled. More complex variations of the labeler include extending arms and moveable joints, enabling the identification of pipes or conduits which are at difficult angles or out of direct sight of a user. The labeler provides a means for quickly and clearly labeling pipes, conduit, tubes, and rods. The labeler can be mass produced as a single mold or in parts with different sign plates of varying size and construction. The sign plate provides a flat surface for writing. The labeler can be temporary, removable, or made permanent simply by applying an adhesive to the saddle portion prior to affixing the labeler.
Abstract:
An indexed pipe made of Polyvinyl Chloride, Cast or Ductile Iron, Clay, or Asbestos Cement that is buried in the ground or totally enclosed and requires access. The indexed pipe is marked in any accepted system of measurement, such as feet or meters, which would reveal pipe end locations during an excavation.
Abstract:
A tubing fitting, connector and/or adaptor assembly for fluidly coupling tubing together, the assembly comprising a tubular member extending from a hub, the tubular member having an outer diameter adapted to engage an inner diameter of a tubing; and a female fitting comprising a body member having an inner diameter and a protrusion adapted to receive an outer diameter of the tubing, whereby the first female fitting includes cantilever arms for creating a cantilever joint with notches or openings in the hub to retain the hub relative to the female member and the tubing.
Abstract:
A high pressure coupling safety system where the nipple in the coupling are color-coded with bands within grooves. The color-coded bands are recessed within the grooves in order to prevent damage to the grooves by mishandling the nipples or the couplings. The bands are typically constructed of a material that is resistant to ultraviolet light, hydrocarbons, and chemicals.
Abstract:
A plug connector includes a housing, a locking element and a verification element. The housing has a receiving chamber, a connection piece and a duct through which fluid can flow. The locking element is movable between an open position and a fastening position, a plug can be inserted in the receiving chamber in the open position of the locking element, and a plug inserted in the receiving chamber can be fastened within the receiving chamber via the locking element in the fastening position of the locking element. In an open position of the locking element, the verification element is at least partially covered by the locking element, and in a fastening position of the locking element, the verification element can be read.
Abstract:
A radio-frequency identification (RFID) connector, including a connector, including at least one component, and a RFID assembly connected to the connector, the RFID assembly including a RFID tag, and at least one contact arranged on the at least one component and electrically connected to the RFID tag, wherein in an unlocked state of the RFID connector, the RFID tag indicates an open state of the RFID assembly, and in a locked state of the RFID connector, the RFID tag indicates a closed state of the RFID assembly.
Abstract:
An aseptic connector includes first and second matable housings each comprising a plurality of connectors for fluid conduits. The fluid conduits enter the housings and may be force-fitted onto barbs or flanges on one side of the connectors, or may instead be molded directly onto the connectors. When the housings are joined, the opposite sides of the connectors mate to form fluid seals, thereby establishing fluid pathways between now-connected sets of tubes.
Abstract:
A flexible hose for the transportation of liquids or fluids comprising at least one layer (10) with an exposed surface (11) made of a first polymeric material, the at least one layer (10) having at least one QR code (40) according to the ISO/IEC 18004:2000(E) standard. The at least one QR code (40) includes at least one ink layer (41) printed on at least one portion (12) of the exposed surface (11) of the hose, the ink being compatible with the first polymeric material.
