Basics
- A Set of Cam and Groove Fitting Couplings, Adapters, and other Accessories to allow for Bulk Transfer of Various Things Safely, Efficiently, and Effectively
Consists Of
- Open Source CAG Fitting Inserting End
- Open Source CAG Fitting Receiving End
- Open Source CAG Fitting Sight Glass Module
- Open Source CAG Fitting Airlock/Vaporlock Prevention Module
- Essentially an assembly of Ball Valves to allow for a “bleeder valve” to “bleed off” any air/vapor etc that could cause Airlock (if air) or vaporlock (If Vapor from Gasoline / Ethanol etc especially, but still to a relevant extent Diesel / Fuel Oil etc
- The Open Source CAG Fitting Tank Filling Module
- Essentially an Airlock/Vaporlock Prevention Module but with an added Backflow Prevention Valve / Check Valve etc
Materials Used
Industry Standard
- Aluminum / Aluminum Alloy
- While Directly Cast Parts may be used, if Machined etc can Anodization be used? (Or would that interfere with fitment / surface finish for seals etc
- Lead Free Brass (Especially in contexts needing Non-Sparking Tools etc)
- Stainless Steel / Inconel and other superalloys
- NBR
- POTENTIALLY a Fluoroelastomer such as Vitron etc
Potentially Novel Solutions
- ESD Safe Plastics
- Especially more durable and/or Bio-Based and/or Biodegradable Plastics
- Thus you could have the same “Grounding without a Ground Wire” / “The Hose Being a Backup Ground” type advantages of Metal Fittings, but with the Lightweight/Lower Cost/Lower Reactivity aspects of Plastic
- Novel Gasket Materials
- Might not be much to offer here, short of potentially “soft” metals etc, as if it’s soluable in Hydrocarbon Solvents…it probably can’t be used for Gasoline / Diesel / Fuel Alcohols etc
