Covering a pipe section, in particular a junction of district heating pipes

摘要

The invention relates to a method and a covering device (44) for covering a pipe section of a pipe (1) by means of a covering device (44) embracing the pipe (1), in particular for covering a connection point (11) of two or more media-carrying pipes (2 ). The invention further relates to a method for post-insulation of such a pipe section following such covering. In order to enable a particularly simple installation even under construction site conditions, it is proposed to postpone a sealing ring (35) resting against the tube (1) onto the ends of a tubular casing (34) which can be connected to one another, whereby the position of the casing (34) on the tube (1) is fixed, and for fixing the sealing ring (35) on the sheath (34) a sheath (34) completely encompassing locking ring (40) on the connecting portion (41) of the sealing ring (35) the sheath (34) set up such that the locking ring (40) contacts both the sealing ring (35) and the sheath (34).
