TAILINGS PIPE CLAMP CONNECTOR WITH A METAL SEAL RING INTEGRAL TO THE INTERIOR CLAMP SEGMENTS

摘要

The tailings pipe clamp connector is utilized in the transport of media,through, but not limited to, mine tailings pipelines.The invention has two or more independent metal to metal seals: a primaryseal at the outer bore edge or heel of the hubs. A secondary metal to metalseal at the outer moment arm of the hubs and the integral seal ring surfaceat the interior radii of the coupler segments.The invention consist of two or more clamp or coupler segments; two metalhubs or conduits having a central bore; and two or more sets of fasteners.Fastener set consist of: High strength bolt, washer and nut.Hubs are attached at one end to a pipe segment. Two or more couplersegments are positioned radially over the moment arms of both hubs, boltedtogether, pulling the hubs into axial alignment connecting the two hubs faceto face.
