TUBING JOINT

摘要

A method of joining two tubular sections including applying adhesive to a male end of a first tubular section and fitting the male end to a female end of a second tubular section. A clamp is positioned over the female end of the second tubular section and tightened to apply a circumferential inward force to the female end to reinforce the adhesive in securing the first tubular section to the second tubular section.

主权项

1. A method for joining tubing sections, comprising:
providing a first tubing section including a male end; providing a second tubing section including a female end; applying an adhesive compound to at least one of an exterior surface of the male end of the first tubing section and an interior surface of the female end of the second tubing section; inserting the male end of the first tubing section into the female end of the second tubing section to form an overlapping tubing section, wherein the adhesive compound is compressed between the male end of the first tubing section and the female end of the tubing section; positioning a clamp over the female end such that the clamp is positioned within the overlapping tubing section when the male end of the first tubing section is inserted into the female end of the second tubing section; and tightening the clamp to apply an inward circumferential force to the overlapping tubing section.
