<p>A closure, especially one for a pressure vessel or a pipe, comprises a door (3) which fits into an aperture (1) on the pressure vessel, pipe or other member to be closed. A locking member in the form of a flat band (7) is disposed around the periphery of the door, and locking of the door in the aperture is effected by expanding the band (7) into locking contact with opposed surfaces of the door and aperture. Expansion of the band (7) is effected by a horseshoe-shaped link (22) attached to the ends (19, 20) of the band (7). When the band (7) has been fully expanded a locking block (25) is inserted between its ends. The locking block (25) is welded to a bracket (26) overlying a bleed port closed by a bolt (29).</p> |
