Apparatus for preventing spark propagation |
| 摘要 |
Described herein is a novel method and apparatus for preventing spark propagation from a hydraulic joint to a surrounding medium, such as a fuel source. The hydraulic joint includes a fitting and a tube. A tip seal may be placed about the edge of the hydraulic fitting or a sleeve may be placed about the joint, each resulting in an independent mechanical barrier between the joint and surrounding medium, thereby preventing spark propagation to the surrounding medium. |

1. A method of preventing sparking from propagating to a surrounding medium comprising:
providing a hydraulic joint including a fitting and a tube, said fitting including a first end having an opening for receiving said tube; and applying a barrier between said hydraulic joint and said surrounding medium, said barrier being a tip seal that is configured to define an opening that allows for the passage of leaks, said barrier preventing sparking between said fitting and said tube from propagating to said surrounding medium. |
