Connector for conduit for transporting fluid at low temp. - with two ring clamps connecting inner and outer tubes of conduit sections

摘要

Connector is provided for two sections of a conduit for transport of fluid of which the temp. differs from ambient temp., pref. low-temp. fluid, in which each conduit section consists of an inner tube for flow of the fluid, insulated from an outer tube or casing by a sheath of insulating matl. The connector comprises two ring clamps mounted at each end of a conduit section and ensuring connection of the inner tube to the outer tube of the section. The two clamps adjacent to each other are pref. connected by their opposed end faces by means of bolts with the opposed end faces connected to the inner and outer tubes respectively. A protective casing is pref. mounted rigidly between two outer tubes and surrounds the clamps when in position.
