The product is widely used in various high-pressure fluid operations and equipment matching, such as oilfield drilling, cementing, logging, oil testing, acid fracturing, coiled tubing and sand control operations, and offshore platforms.
[0003] Unions, also known as pipe fittings or unions, are common pipe connectors that allow for easy installation and disassembly. They connect two pipes, and the connection between the union female and the fitting is typically rotatable. To further enhance the sealing at the connection point, we have designed a union assembly. This assembly uses a double-layer sealing ring between the union female and the fitting, which, in conjunction with the compression of the outer sealing ring, improves the sealing effect between the union female and the fitting.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] 1. This utility model involves fitting a sealing ring 1, a sealing ring 2, and a compression abutment ring onto the surface of a shoulder tube. Then, the union head body at the end of the shoulder tube is inserted into the connector body. Next, a limiting insert is installed in the inner cavity of the annular cavity. Then, the union tube is pulled upward so that the sealing ring 1 above the union head body rests against the bottom of the limiting insert. Next, the sealing ring 2 is inserted into the inner cavity of the connector body and rests against the top of the limiting insert. Then, the compression abutment ring is tapped downward with a tool so that the compression abutment ring is pressed against the sealing ring 2 and against the top of the connector body.

The bottom of the compression ring 9 presses against the top of the sealing ring 8 and abuts against the top of the connector body 4. The surface of the shoulder tube 2 is provided with an annular limiting cavity 10 located above the compression ring 9. An embedded wire 11 is installed in the inner cavity of the annular limiting cavity 10. The bottom of the embedded wire 11 is in contact with the compression ring 9. A union male head 12 is provided at the top of the union pipe 1. A sealing gasket 13 is installed in the inner cavity of the union male head 12. A limiting edge 14 is provided at the bottom of the surface of the sealing gasket 13. A limiting groove 15 that matches the limiting edge 14 is provided in the inner cavity of the union male head 12. Through the cooperation of the limiting edge 14 and the limiting groove 15, it can be ensured that after the sealing gasket 13 is installed in the inner cavity of the union male head 12, the limiting edge 14 is inserted into the inner cavity of the limiting groove 15 to limit the sealing gasket 13 and prevent the sealing gasket 13 from moving and falling off at will.
[0021] Working principle: When using this utility model, a sealing ring 5, a limiting insert 7, a sealing ring 8, and a pressing abutment 9 are fitted onto the surface of the shoulder tube 2. Then, the union head body 3 at the end of the shoulder tube 2 is inserted into the connector body 4. Next, the ends of the two limiting inserts 7 are moved towards the middle by a tool. After the limiting inserts 7 are aligned with the annular cavity 6, the elasticity of the limiting inserts 7 will be installed in the inner cavity of the annular cavity 6. Then, the union tube 1 is pulled upward so that the sealing ring 5 above the union head body 3 abuts against the lower part of the limiting insert 7. Then, the sealing ring 8 is inserted into the inner cavity of the connector body 4 and abuts against the upper part of the limiting insert 7. Then, the pressing abutment 9 is tapped downward by a tool. The friction of the anti-slip protrusion 16 makes the pressing abutment 9 firmly pressed against the sealing ring 8 and against the top of the connector body 4. Finally, the embedded wire 11 is embedded in the inner cavity of the annular limiting cavity 10 and abuts against the upper part of the pressing abutment 9 to ensure firmness.
