Abstract: An in-line treble port venturi connector provides a low flow, low pressure inlet port for drawing supplemental fluid into a main flow path. The connector includes a main flow tube having a mixing channel restricting flow and lowering pressure between an upstream port and a downstream port. A baffle projects into the main flow tube from the inner surface of the mixing channel at a location upstream of an inlet port, obstructing main flow to create a separation zone in the low pressure area, causing rotational flow within the separation zone and lowering the average flow rate in the direction of main flow. A pressure differential allows supplemental fluid to be drawn into the mixing channel through the inlet port. The connector may be used to introduce hydrogen or oxygen gas from an on-board generator into a main flow of hydrocarbon fuel in the intake manifold of an internal combustion engine.

Abstract: The close-coupled fitting allows practical vessel/s to be connected in a manifold configuration with minimal space between them. As an example, a Tee-piece close-coupled fitting is in the shape of a “T” and comprises a fitting at an approximate 90° angle extending from the 180° plane. One end of the section on the 180° plane is a female socket that begins approximately flush with one side of the 90° fitting and has an internal limit that intrudes some-way into the opening of the 90° fitting. The male socket of the 180° plane extends outwards from the other side of the 90° fitting. Multiple Tee-piece close-coupled fittings connect along the 180° plane by inserting the male socket into the female socket. This invention allows an alternative manner of manufacture for storage units that affords flexibility and maximises the available space for such units.

Abstract: An erosion-indicating safety fitting having a fluid passage formed within for connection in-line with a pipe and a cage of interconnecting breach passages formed into the block and surrounding the fluid passage, particularly at areas having a predicted risk of erosion. A pressure gauge, connected to the breach passages, registers a change in pressure to equal that of the pressure in the fluid passage should the material between the fluid passage and one or more of the breach passages be eroded by the flow of particulate-laden fluid within the fluid passage. The fitting can then be changed before compromising the safety of personnel and the environment.

Thus, the internal pressure fatigue strength is improved by lowering the maximum stress value generated at the internal peripheral edge at the lower end of the branch connector.
