Static dissipative fluid conveying coupler

An assembly for use in a rigid coupler, said assembly comprising:

• a nonconductive liner, said nonconductive liner defining a first interior cavity therein;
• a reinforcing structure circumscribing said nonconductive liner and coupled to a portion of said nonconductive liner, said reinforcing structure comprising a multi-axial braided fiber material impregnated with a matrix material;
• a first outer end fitting circumscribing a portion of said reinforcing structure;
• a second outer end fitting circumscribing a portion of said reinforcing structure, said second outer end fitting spaced apart from said first outer end fitting along a length of said reinforcing structure;
• an inner end fitting coupled to each of said first outer end fitting and said second outer end fitting;
• a fiber overwrap hoop wound about at a least a portion of said reinforcing structure between said first and second outer end fittings;
• and
• a sleeve comprising a second interior cavity defined therein, said second cavity sized to receive said nonconductive liner and said reinforcing structure therein, said sleeve comprising a dielectric inner layer defining an inner surface of said second cavity and a conductive layer defining an outer surface of said sleeve.
