A method of coupling tubular bodies is provided, particularly for use in fluid handling systems requiring a fluid-tight, pressurized joint. One tubular body (12A) is made from a polymer. The other tubular body (14A) is formed as a bare metallic body (e.g., aluminum tubing). The tubular bodies are positioned relative to one another (e.g., the metallic tubular body may be inserted within the polymeric tubular body). The tubular bodies are then joined together by generating heat (e.g., through induction welding) to cause heat transfer from the metallic tubular body to the polymeric tubular body thereby resulting in deformation of the polymeric tubular body and bonding of the polymeric tubular body to the metallic tubular body. |
