Hose and Pipe Termination
From Open Source Ecology
- Flaring steel, copper, aluminum, brass, plastic
- Threads - tapping
- Weld-on, braze-on terminations
- 3D printed couplers
- Spring steel wire, fiberglass, kevlar wrapping of materials.
- Epoxy-fiber wrapping
- Quick couplers - flush, poppet, dry-break, wet break, suction line dry-break
- Blind couplers
- Uniseal to vessels
- Plastic welding of fittings
- Friction stir welding of pipes
- Welding wire to itself
- Spot welding
- Bending tubing and piping
- Wrapping tubing and piping
- 60ksi connectors
- Hydrogen dispensers
- Spray nozzles
- Push-spray nozzles
- Connecting between different fittings and pipe materials
- Crimp-on connectors such as hydraulics
- Wire braiding around pipe, or other braiding/wrapping around pipe for reinforcement purposes
- Capping, solvent welding
- Pressure vessel pipe and tank production, from vacuum to 10 PSI, and accumulators at 60 ksi.
- Welder liner production and termination
- Ferrules
- Lever nuts for fluid pipes
- Lever nuts for wire
Issues
- Airless gun quick extensions are ridiculous at $100 a pop.
