Abstract
There is provided a new and useful fluid conduit coupling apparatus which allows quick connection and disconnection with substantially no introduction of ambient fluids or air into the process fluid. In one aspect of the invention there is provided a quick connect/disconnect coupling for a fluid conduit, the coupling comprising assemblies for attaching to the ends of a conduit to be connected and for subsequently mating together, each assembly comprising a normally closed channel; a fluid expulsion arrangement for expelling fluid from between the assemblies when the assemblies are to be connected to each other; sealing arrangement for preventing fluid from entering the assemblies from outside when the assemblies are being connected; opener arrangement for opening the normally closed channels, operable by the connecting of the assemblies to each other; latch arrangement for securing the assemblies together, the latch means disconnectable by means of a hand operated unlatching means or by the application of a predetermined tensile force.
