Abstract: A method comprises: directing a laser beam onto a side of a tube, wherein the side includes a defect; moving the tube with respect to the laser beam such that the laser beam beams onto the defect; sensing a reflection of the laser beam from the side based on the defect; computationally identifying a change between the laser beam and the reflection; computationally acting based on the change. The side can be internal or external. In other implementations, the laser beam is moved with respect to the tube such that the laser beam beams onto the defect.

Abstract: An example transition fitting includes a fitting body have a first shoulder, a second shoulder and a compression region extending radially inwardly from the first shoulder and the second shoulder. A fluid conduit is attached to the fitting body about the compression region. The fluid conduit is deformed radially inwardly from the first shoulder and the second shoulder to secure the fitting body in an axial direction along a longitudinal centerline axis of the fitting body. The fitting body is rotatable along a longitudinal centerline axis of the fitting body.
