Zusammenfassung:STATIC DISSIPATIVE FLUID CONVEYING COUPLER A rigid coupler (300) for use in electrically isolating an electrically conductive fluid conveyance system is described. The rigid coupler (300) includes a nonconductive liner (306) having a first end configured to couple to a first adjoining section of the fluid conveyance system, and a second end, opposite said first end, configured to couple to a second adjoining section of the fluid conveyance system. A reinforcing structure (308) circumscribes the nonconductive liner (306) and is coupled to a portion of the nonconductive liner (306) extending between the first and second ends of the nonconductive liner (306). The reinforcing structure (308) includes a multi-axial braided fibre material impregnated with a matrix material. A fibre overwrap (310) is hoop wound about at a least a portion of the reinforcing structure (308) between the first and second ends of the nonconductive liner (306).
