A clamping plier head is provided, which is used in cooperation with a first fitting and a second fitting. The second fitting is matched with the first fitting, and the clamping plier head includes an upper head, a lower head and an elastic clamping piece. The upper head and the plier head are matched to form an accommodating cavity for accommodating the first fitting and the second fitting, and at least one of the first fitting and the second fitting is detachably clamped on an inner wall of the accommodating cavity. The elastic clamping piece, with its own resilience, fixes the fittings detachably clamped on the inner wall to the inner wall.

A method of assembling a tapping sleeve includes positioning an outlet band on a pipe element with an arcuate portion of the outlet band contacting an outer surface of the pipe element, the outlet band including a front end, a back end, a first side end, a second side end, a first bend line defined between the first side end and the second side end and extending from the front end to the back end, a second bend line defined between the first bend line and the second side end and extending from the front end to the back end, wherein the outlet band defines an arcuate portion between the first bend line and the second bend line, a first flange defined between the first side end and the first bend line, and a second flange defined between the second side end and the second bend line.

A working head (1) for a compression or cutting tool (100) comprises a connecting portion (3) for a removable connection of the working head (1) with an actuation part (2) of the tool (100), two jaws (4) movable between an open position and a closed position to perform the compression or cutting, and a local storage (6) configured for storing one or more cumulative data representative of a stress history of the jaws (4), wherein the local storage (6) is fixed to the working head (1).

Aircraft turbine engines are controlled by complex electronic devices such as FADEC and PSS units. These devices can be adversely impacted by the engine environment including the condensing of evaporated water. Aspects of the present disclosure include unique heat exchangers to control the temperature of these electronic devices to assure their proper operation.

A pipe processing tool that is configured to deform the end of a pipe so that the circumferential shape of the end of the pipe generally matches the circumferential shape of an adjacent pipe end. Matching the circumferential shapes of the pipe ends is advantageous during a pipe attachment process. The pipe processing tool can include a deformation ring with a plurality of pipe deformation members. Each pipe deformation member faces radially inward and is actuatable in a radial direction toward and away from the center of the deformation ring in order to permit engagement with the pipe. Each pipe deformation member is individually and separately actuatable from the other pipe deformation members so that the circumferential shapes of the pipes can be altered by controlling suitable ones of the pipe deformation members.

Techniques for implementing and/or operating a system that includes a pipe fitting and a swage machine. The swage machine includes a grab plate having a grab tab that matingly interlocks with a grab notch on the pipe fitting to facilitate securing the swage machine to the pipe fitting and a die plate having a die seat that enables a set of die segments to be used to conformally deform the pipe fitting around the tubing of the pipe segment to be loaded in the swage machine. The die plate and the grab plate include a base plate section, a hinge plate secured to the base plate section via a hinge fastener such that the hinge plate directly abuts the base plate section, and a pivotable plate section secured to the hinge plate via a hinge fastener such that the hinge plate directly abuts the pivotable plate section.

A pipe press-fit connecting apparatus includes a connecting device. The connecting device may be used to connect a connected unit to a pressing power providing unit. The connecting device includes a fastener and a coupling pin. The fastener is installed at one end of the installation hole on an exterior surface of a cylinder block and has a fastening pin configured to be resiliently arranged and at least partially be exposed to the installation hole. The coupling pin is inserted through the installation hole and the insertion hole through another end of the installation hole on the exterior surface of the cylinder block to be resiliently coupled to the fastening pin to couple the connected unit to the pressing power providing unit.
