Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2018234764A1] A connection assembly (10) for automated lifting and positioning of a chiksan (110) or other fluid conduit in proximity to a fluid inlet (60) of a device such as, for example, a cement (100) or hydraulic fracturing head. Once a chiksan or other flow line is positioned in a desired location, a secure connection is made between the outlet of the chiksan or other fluid conduit and the fluid inlet including, without limitation, when the device is positioned at an elevated location above a rig floor.
