    摘要: This coupling device for a tubular member is provided with: a base stand for holding an inner member and an outer member in a state in which the outer member is disposed around the inner member; a plurality of pressing members that are supported by the base stand in a movable manner in the radial direction of the inner member and the outer member and have a protruding part on the tip thereof; a pressing member that make contact with the final end of the pressing member and that can press the pressing member radially inward; and a drive mechanism that drives any one among the base stand and the pressing member in a direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the pressing member so that the one member moves relative to the other. The inner member and the outer member are caulked and coupled by driving, by the drive mechanism, any one among the base stand and the pressing member and displacing the pressing member radially inward to thereby expand, radially inward, a portion of a peripheral wall of the outer member by the protruding part.

    摘要: Described is a heating device for thermally connecting a pipe, which has a first plastic material, to a bushing, which has a second plastic material, and which surrounds at least a section of the pipe, wherein an inductively heatable heating means is located between the pipe and the bushing and/or integrated in the pipe and/or the bushing. The heating device has a coil arrangement, which is excitable by a generator, and which has a first coil, which has at least one complete winding within a first cross-sectional area, and a second coil, which is electrically coupled to the first coil, and which has at least one complete winding within a second cross-sectional area. The first cross-sectional area is different from the second cross-sectional area. Furthermore, a heating system having such a heating device as well as a method for thermally connecting a pipe to a bushing are described.

    摘要: Herein a tubular element (2) is disclosed. The tubular element comprises a first tubular portion (4) comprising a first metal or alloy and a second tubular portion (6) comprising a second metal or alloy. At least a portion of an interface (9) between the first and second tubular portions (4, 6) extends within a fixed diameter range along a longitudinal direction (L) of the tubular element. The second tubular portion (6) comprises a first end portion (8) arranged around the first tubular portion (4). The second tubular portion (6) comprises a sealing surface (10) extending circumferentially around the second tubular portion (6) at the first end portion (8).

    摘要: A method and apparatus for forming a quick connector with a lock connection. The quick connector includes a quick connector body and a mating component including an external spacing recess. The component includes a step bore extending from a first end. A seal member is mounted on the step surface for sealing connection to a tubular component inserted through the quick connector body into the bore end component. Material is displaced from the component into the body or from the body into the component to mechanically lock and fluidically seal the body in the first component.
