Conduit connection with sensing function

A mechanically attached connection for a fluid conduit having a longitudinal axis, comprising:

• connection members comprising at least one conduit gripping member, a first coupling member and a second coupling member that are adapted to be axially joined together to pull-up the mechanically attached connection on a fluid conduit, the mechanically attached connection providing conduit grip and fluid tight seal after the mechanically attached connection is pulled-up, and a sensor that is integrated with at least one of said first coupling member and said second coupling member to detect a condition or characteristic of at least one of the following:
• the mechanically attached connection, one or more of the connection members, the fluid contained by the mechanically attached connection, or a combination thereof,
• said sensor having a detectable electrical property that changes in relation to said detected condition or characteristic.
