A flow sensing device includes a first body member defining an inlet port, an upstream sensor port, and a first connecting port; a second body member defining an outlet port, a downstream sensor port, and a second connecting port; a flow restricting element defining a flow restricting passage and including a first end connection coupled to the first connecting port and a second end connection coupled to the second connecting port, such that the flow restricting passage is disposed between the inlet port and the outlet port, and between the upstream sensor port and the downstream sensor port; a first fluid sensor assembled with the upstream sensor port; and a second fluid sensor assembled with the downstream sensor port.

Fluid monitoring module arrangements

A flow control device includes a body and a flow control element. The body includes a thermal conditioning passage disposed within a side wall, disconnected from a flow passage, and extending between a first conditioning port and a second conditioning port. The thermal conditioning passage has a first portion extending circumferentially around a first circumferential portion of the interior surface of the flow passage, a second portion axially spaced from the first portion by a first axial U-shaped bend and extending circumferentially around the first circumferential portion and a second circumferential portion of the interior surface of the flow passage to form a first circumferential U-shaped bend, and a third portion axially spaced from the second portion by a second axial U-shaped bend and extending circumferentially around the second circumferential portion of the interior surface of the flow passage. The thermal conditioning passage further including a radial passage connecting a central portion of the first circumferential U-shaped bend with one of the first and second conditioning ports.

Fluid system components with thermal conditioning passages

A fluid monitoring module includes a flow sensing device and a controller disposed in an enclosure. The flow sensing device includes a body including an inlet port, an outlet port, an upstream sensor port, a downstream sensor port, and a flow passage disposed between the inlet port and the outlet port, and between the upstream sensor port and the downstream sensor port. A first fluid sensor is assembled with the upstream sensor port, and a second fluid sensor is assembled with the downstream sensor port. The controller is in circuit communication with the first and second fluid sensors for receiving at least one of pressure indicating signals and temperature indicating signals from each of the first and second fluid sensors, and for measuring fluid data based on the received signals.

Thermal trace valve body

A flow control device includes a body having an upper portion defining a flow passage extending axially along a primary axis between a first end port and a second end port, the flow passage defining a central cavity between the first and second end ports, and a lower portion defining an axially extending thermal conditioning inlet port and an axially extending thermal conditioning outlet port. A flow control element is disposed in the central cavity and movable to control fluid flow between the first end port and the second end port. The body further includes a thermal conditioning passage having a first vertical portion extending from the thermal conditioning inlet port into the upper portion of the body, a circumferential portion extending from the first vertical portion circumferentially around at least a portion of the flow passage, and a second vertical portion extending vertically from the circumferential portion to the thermal conditioning outlet port.

A fitting is provided that may optionally be pulled-up to its final assembled condition by torque rather than by turns. In one embodiment, at least one fitting component includes a structure that facilitates pull-up by torque. The structure may take a wide variety of different forms.

Pull-up by torque fitting with female threaded nut and integral dynamic wedge

A fitting for a tube or pipe capable of functioning a high pressures having a first fitting component adapted to receive the conduit end; a conduit gripping device such as a ferrule or ferrules and a second fitting component that can be joined to the first fitting component to cause the conduit gripping device to grip the conduit and seal when assembled. In one aspect of the invention, the first fitting component is constructed from a material that is softer than the material used to construct the second fitting component. An additional aspect of the invention include a retaining portion on the second fitting component that constrains the tube gripping device against pressure. The retaining portion can also be configured to retain the tube gripping device to the second fitting component prior to installation and in a finger-tight condition. A further aspect of the invention includes a first fitting component in which an exterior portion of the component is work hardened radially outward from the tube gripping device. The fitting may optionally be provided with a structure to effect the pull-up by torque functionality.

Conduit fitting subassembly and retaining tool

Conduit fitting with pull-up indication

A ferrule for a conduit fitting includes in one embodiment a generally annular body comprising a cylindrical interior wall, a rearward portion with a frusto-conical recess that presents a camming surface, and a tapered outer surface. The tapered outer surface extends radially outwardly from a forward portion of the generally annular body towards the rearward portion, with the rearward portion further comprising an outer wall portion that tapers radially inwardly at an angle &#x3bc; towards a back end of the annular body.

Fitting for tube and pipe with tapered ferrule

Mechanically attached connections for conduits may include a conduit gripping member and first and second connection members. The first and second connection members may be, for example, a nut member and a body member where the connection members cause axial movement of the conduit gripping member to grip and seal the conduit when the assembly is pulled-up. The mechanically attached connection may include a sensing function for detecting or sensing a condition or characteristic of at least one of the following: the mechanically attached connection, one or more of the connection members, the fluid contained by the mechanically attached connection, or a combination thereof. The sensing function may be, for example, a sensor that is integrated with at least one of the nut member and the body member.

Conduit connection with sensing function

A fitting is provided that may optionally be pulled up to its final assembled condition by torque rather than by turns. At least one fitting component includes a structure that facilitates pull up by torque. In one embodiment, a ring is provided that may be disposed on one of the fitting components and includes an engagement surface that engages a surface on the other of the fitting components at a first axial position that corresponds to a complete pull up. The engaging surfaces increase the torque required to continue pulling up the fitting past the first axial position.
