Patent number: 11549621Abstract: An example fitting includes: a fitting body having counterbore, where the counterbore defines an annular shoulder within tire fitting body: a spring having a first end interfacing with the annular shoulder of the counterbore; and a seal carrier having: (i) a first end face interfacing with a second end of the spring, (ii) a second end face configured to interface with an internal surface of a port, such that the spring is configured to apply a biasing force on the seal carrier toward the internal surface of the port, (iii) a first annular groove on an exterior peripheral surface of the seal carrier, where the first annular groove is configured to have a radial seal disposed therein, and (iv) a second annular groove in the second end face, where the second annular groove is configured to have a face seal disposed therein.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2019Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: Parker-Hannifin CorporationInventors: Phillip A. Landis, Diane M. Artman

Patent number: 11320069Abstract: A threaded coupling for ensuring a complete connection between fluid conduits includes a body portion of a fluid conduit, an axially forward sealing surface, a thread, and an interference member. The interference member is disposed on the body portion and is engageable with a portion of another fluid conduit to apply a load on the interference member when the fluid conduits are threadably connected together. The interference member is configured to prevent a complete sealing engagement between the fluid conduits when the load on the interference member is less than a predefined amount, and is configured to allow the complete sealing engagement between the fluid conduits when the load on the interference member meets or exceeds the predetermined amount.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2020Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: Parker-Hannifin CorporationInventors: Jason D. Patch, Nathan L. Green, Le Yu, Scott A. Vinson, Diane M. Artman, George C. Reichert, IV, Phillip A. Landis, Theodore T. Amling

Publication number: 20220063068Abstract: A smart torque system includes a fitting comprising a fitting body defining a fluid flow passage from a first end to a second end, and an electronically readable element that is configured to store information about the fitting including at least a torque requirement of the fitting; an electronic reading device that reads the torque requirement from the electronically readable element; and a torque tool that is programmable by the reading device to set a torque to be applied by the torque tool in accordance with the torque requirement. The electronically readable element may include an RFID or NFC storage device, or a patterned code element, that is read by a complementary reading device. The electronic reading device may be incorporated into the torque tool. In another aspect, a fitting includes a fitting body defining a fluid flow passage from a first end to a second end, and an integrated torque sensor.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2020Publication date: March 3, 2022Inventors: Jason D.

Patent number: 10237928Abstract: An embodiment disclosed herein includes a monolithic graphite electrode. The electrode has a main body having a length of more than 3050 mm. Another embodiment disclosed herein includes an electrode column comprising a plurality of monolithic graphite electrodes. The column has a length of more than 3050 mm of electrode per joint. A further embodiment discussed herein is the practice of increasing the length of the electrode to minimize the occurrence of an electrode joint in the electrode column for a given length. This practice will improve efficiencies for both electrode manufacturers as well as electric arc furnace operators.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2008Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: GrafTech International Holdings Inc.Inventors: Diane M. Artman, Philip Dennis Coleman, Juan Morales
