A method and apparatus for sealing and affixing connectors to membrane tubing reinforced by braided netting and used for drying of fluids employs mechanical fusion of the material of the braid or of an overlay formed of thermoplastic material (or a combustion of both) to produce the mechanical seal between the tubing and a connector. The seal includes an inner tubular insert (which may be formed of stainless steel, ceramic, or glass). The insert is placed in the end of the drying tube. The connector is fused to the tube by applying high temperature and pressure to the area of the tubing over the insert. This causes fusion of either the braiding material itself or fusion of a thermoplastic overlay placed over the end of the tubing surrounding the insert. |
