Connector assemblies, fluid systems including connector assemblies, and procedures for making fluid connections

摘要

A connector assembly comprises first and second connector bodies (101,102), a coupling mechanism arranged to couple the connector bodies at the first ends (105,106) of the bodies, a moveable hollow piston (103), and a moveable actuator (104). The hollow piston moves from a first position to a second position in response to movement of the actuator from a first position to a second position. In the second position the hollow piston is sealed to the interiors of first and second connector bodies.
