PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide mechanically attached connections such as fittings, joints, couplings, unions and so on that are used in fluid systems or fluid circuits.SOLUTION: Apparatus and method for mechanically attached connections of conduits may include a conduit gripping member 34, a drive member 36, and a seal member 48, the drive member causing axial movement of the conduit gripping member to indent into an outer surface of the conduit when the assembly is pulled-up, the drive member causing the seal member to form a zero clearance seal at a location that is axially spaced from the conduit gripping member. The zero clearance seal may comprise a face seal arrangement including a gasket 48, and the conduit gripping member may be a ferrule, ring or other device that can grip and optionally seal against the conduit outer surface. The assembly may include a sensing function for detecting or sensing a characteristic or condition of an assembly component or the fluid or both. |
