FIELD: pipe.SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to connectors of pipelines. Electrically conductive hose cutting clip has at least one end tab that is shaped to provide a cutting edge for penetration of inner layer(s) of a multiple layer fluid conveyance hose when it is clipped onto a pipeline connector. Hose is installed on pipeline connector by forcing it onto connector. Cutting action by cutting clip provides for a relatively low resistance electrical connection between an electrically conductive layer of hose and pipeline connector. This can be used to provide a signal path from a sensing element on or in hose to a system electronic component.EFFECT: invention improves connection reliability of pipelines.7 cl, 8 dwg |
