The pipe coupling including an elongated housing comprising a first end and a second end, the housing defining an elongated bore therein, a stop located on an inner diameter of the housing, the stop located between the first end and the second ends of the housing, wherein a distance from the stop to one of the first and second ends is at least two times a distance from the stop to the other of the first and second end of the housing, a first cylindrical bore extending from the first end to the stop, a second cylindrical bore extending from the second end to the stop, wherein a length of the first cylindrical bore is greater than the second cylindrical bore, and at least one marking on an outer surface of the housing adjacent to the first end of the elongated housing, the at least one marking extending towards the second end for a predetermined length.
Abstract:
The material transfer system and method of transferring materials comprises provides improved connectors that overcome the deficiencies of the connectors currently used. The connector and method of connecting of the present invention comprises a fool-proof method of connecting and a method of ensuring the safe and accurate transfer of materials. The connector of the present invention provides a plurality of male and female connector portions in a plurality of geometric shapes and colors and specific key components that prevent the delivery of and mixing of incorrect and incompatible materials. The connectors of the present invention are shaped differently from any connectors currently available on the market. Each geometric shape corresponds to a general class of chemicals. One embodiment of the present invention connector is a color coded element according to the shape, size, and configuration of the connector and the material the connector is intended to transfer. The connector comprises a seal or "O" ring disposed on the connector that is chemically and mechanically compatible with the material being transferred. A marking or label that describes the material to be transferred is disposedly attached to the connector to improve safety and accuracy of the method of transfer of the material.
Abstract:
An identifier for a conduit includes a substrate having a pair of apertures. The substrate further contains a frangible portion encompassing one of the apertures and having a shape that corresponds to an opening left in the substrate after removal of the frangible portion. The identifier enables the shape of the frangible portion to be correlated with the shape of the opening left in the substrate after the frangible portion is separated from the substrate.
Abstract:
The coupling comprises a tubular body with two ends of the body each provided with a portion of internal threading (14) for joining to a tubular element, the tubular body further comprising a central portion separating the two ends each provided with a portion of threading (14) and having a wall thickness greater than the wall thickness of the ends of the body. More precisely, this coupling comprises an extension segment (18) that extends from one of the ends of the tubular body, after the portion of internal threading (14), said extension segment having the same outside diameter as that of the tubular body and an inside diameter greater than or equal to that of the portion of internal threading. Moreover, the extension segment (18) comprises a housing (12), provided with an opening onto an external surface of the coupling, in which an electronically responsive identification tag is housed.
Abstract:
Apparatus and method for attaching an encapsulated marker to a flexible hose, such as a hose or cable. The method involves providing a flexible hose (100) having a rubber or plastic outer cover (202) positioned over an inner layer (203, 204). An annular segment of the outer cover is separated and removed to form an annular groove in the outer cover. A marker (101) is then positioned over the inner layer (203, 204) within the groove and a transparent encapsulating component (201) applied over the marker. A containment means (200) is then overlaid on the encapsulating component and overlaps onto a region of the outer cover either side of the groove. The cover assembly is then heated at elevated temperature. After cooling, the containment means (200) is removed. The encapsulated marker assembly is therefore provided which is chemically bonded or fused to the outer cover (202) of the flexible hose and is aligned flush with the external surface of the flexible hose.
