PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mechanically attached connecting portion of a mounting tool, a joint, a connector, a connection pipe and the like used in a fluid system or a fluid circuit.SOLUTION: An apparatus and a method for mechanically attached connecting portion of a conduit may include a conduit gripping member 34, a drive member 36, and a seal member 48, the drive member causes axial movement of the conduit gripping member to indent into an outer surface of the conduit when an assembly is pulled-up, and the drive member causes 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, a ring or other device that can grip and optionally seal against the conduit outer surface. The assembly may include a sensing function 120 for detecting or sensing a characteristic or a condition of an assembly component, the fluid or both. 【課題】流体システムまたは流体回路において使用される取付用具、継ぎ手、連結器、結合管等の機械的に付着された接続部を提供する。【解決手段】導管の機械的に付着された接続部用の装置および方法は、導管把持部材３４と駆動部材３６とシール部材４８とを含んでもよく、駆動部材はアセンブリが引き寄せられると、導管把持部材の軸方向移動を導管の外面に陥入させ、導管把持部材から軸方向に離間した場所においてシール部材にゼロクリアランスシールを形成させる。ゼロクリアランスシールは、ガスケット４８を含む面シール配設を備えてもよく、導管把持部材は、導管外面を把持し、選択的にそれに対して密閉することができる、フェルール、リング、または他のデバイスであってもよい。アセンブリはアセンブリ構成要素または流体または両方の特性または状態を検出または感知する感知機能１２０を含んでもよい。【選択図】図６
