Systems and methods for evaluating a piping system for an improperly assembled fluid tight connection. Provided is a preferred joint assembly unable to hold fluid pressure in either one of a dry fit connection and partial seal connection. The joint assembly includes a coupler to identify a leak. More specifically, the coupler includes a substantially tubular wall portion having an outer surface, an inner surface and a channel disposed along one of the inner and outer surfaces. The channel has a first configuration for carrying a fluid between an interior of the piping system and an exterior of a piping system, and a second configuration to prevent fluid from being carried between the interior and the exterior of the piping system. The channel is further preferably convertible from the first configuration to the second configuration in the presence of a minimum amount of sealant material.
Systèmes et procédés permettant d'évaluer un système de tuyauterie et de détecter un raccord à sec mal monté. L'ensemble joint prôné dans le cadre de cette invention n'est pas en mesure de maintenir la pression d'un fluide soit dans un raccordement à sec soit dans un raccordement avec joint partiel. Cet ensemble joint comprend un raccord de détection de fuite. Plus précisément, le raccord comprend une partie paroi sensiblement tubulaire présentant une surface extérieure, une surface intérieure et un canal disposé le long de l'une ou l'autre desdites surfaces. Dans une première configuration, le canal transporte un fluide entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur du système de tuyauterie. Dans une seconde configuration, il empêche le fluide de passer de l'intérieur à l'extérieur du système de tuyauterie. Il est de préférence convertible et passer de la première à la seconde configuration pour ne quantité minimum de matériau d'étanchéité.
