Closure element for pipe ends

摘要

A closure element for closing the ends of pipes, in particular steel pipes, having a circular base cover whose outer diameter corresponds at most to the outer diameter of the pipe, having a side which faces towards the pipe interior and comprises at least two elastic clamping elements which in the assembled condition are supported on the inner surface of the pipe and clamp the base cover therewith. In order to permit universal usage, the closure element comprises means for selectively adjusting/changing the radial position of the clamping elements on the base cover.

1. Closure element for closing an end of a pipe, the closure element having a circular base cover, configured in an assembled condition to close the end of the pipe and including on a side facing towards the pipe at least two clamping elements, wherein the clamping elements are disposed in the assembled condition to be supported on an inner surface of the pipe and hold the base cover for closing the end of the pipe, wherein the clamping elements are releasably attached to the base cover and are configured to be attached in various positions to the base cover for selectively adjusting the radial position of the clamping elements on the base cover, wherein the clamping elements can be attached via a raster-like plug-in connection to the base cover in raster-like positions in accordance with the currently provided wall thickness of the end of the pipe to be closed, wherein the outer diameter of the base cover corresponds at most to the outer diameter of the pipe, and wherein the raster-like attachment of the clamping elements to the base cover is adapted to the respective standard nominal wall thicknesses of the pipes to be closed.
