Heated fluid conduit end covers, systems and methods

A fluid conduit heating system comprising:

• a semi-conductive sleeve disposed over a fluid conduit, said sleeve extending at least partially over a fitting fitted to an end of said conduit, said sleeve comprises a fabric sleeve having carbon fiber threads which are semi-conductive;
• an electrical power supply coupled to each end of said sleeve to provide a voltage across said sleeve and a resulting electrical current through said semi-conductive sleeve, heating said sleeve and said fluid conduit;
• and
• an end cover molded over at least a portion of said fitting and said sleeve extending thereover.

A method comprising:

• disposing a semi-conductive material comprising semiconductive carbon fiber material in the body of a fluid conduit;
• molding an end cover at an end of said conduit, capturing an electrical conductor in contact with said body of said conduit;
• and
• applying an electrical current, through said electrical conductor, across said body of said fluid conduit, heating said fluid conduit.

A method comprising:

• disposing a semi-conductive sleeve over a fluid conduit wherein said sleeve comprises a fabric sleeve having carbon fiber threads which are semi-conductive;
• molding an end cover at an end of said fluid conduit, capturing an end of said sleeve and an electrical conductor in contact with said sleeve;
• and
• applying an electrical current, through said electrical conductor to said semi-conductive sleeve, heating said sleeve and said fluid conduit within.
