Abstract: Provided are a fixing device for a lower-stage member which facilitates a leveling operation for making upper surfaces of lower-stage members coplanar, and can further enhance a vibration absorbing effect generated by an elastic member, and a fluid control device which includes the fixing device. A fixing device for a lower-stage member is configured such that respective lower-stage members are fixed once and, thereafter, a desired lower-stage member is moved upwardly against an elastic force so as to finely adjust positions of upper surfaces of a plurality of lower-stage members. The elastic member is formed of an annular body made of rubber or a synthetic resin. A cutout which imparts the elastic deformation by bending when a force in the vertical direction is applied to the elastic member is formed on an upper portion and a lower portion of an inner peripheral surface of the elastic member.

Abstract: Provided is a pipe joint which can prevent fine particles generated when a male threaded member and a female threaded member are threadedly engaged with each other from entering a fluid passage thus maintaining a high degree of cleanliness. Joint members 2, 3 are joined to each other by a male threaded member 6 formed on one joint member 2 and a female threaded member 7 formed on the other joint member 3. A cover portion 16 which covers outer peripheral surfaces of abutting portions of both joint members 2, 3 is formed on the male threaded member 6.

Abstract: A pipe joint which does not generate fine particles even though being repeatedly mounted and demounted is provided. A pipe joint includes first and second joint members having fluid channels communicating with each other, an annular gasket to be interposed between abutting end surfaces of the both joint members, and a nut configured to couple the joint members. The nut is provided with an inner surface treated layer. The inner surface treated layer includes a Co (cobalt)-P (phosphorous) alloy metal coating provided on an inner surface of the nut and a fluorine coating provided on the surface of the alloy metal coating.
