DEVICE FOR ENCASING A PIPE SECTION

摘要

The invention provides a device (1) for encasing a pipe section, comprising at least two sleeves segments (2, 3), clamping means (5-7, 20-22, 40-45, 34-39) for clamping the sleeve members (2, 3) down on the outer side of the pipe section with their inner sides, said clamping means (5-7, 20-22, 40-45, 34-39) comprising bolt-nut combinations for drawing the sleeve segments (2, 3) together by tightening the bolt-nut combinations, with the bolts of the bolt-nut combinations extending through associated holes (12-14, 31-33) in a pressure surface (27, 28). At least some of said holes (12-14, 31-33) are slotted holes, which are each present in a pressure surface (9) that is fixedly connected to a sleeve segment (2,3) to allow pivoting movement of a bolt (20-22) of a bolt-nut combination, in the non-tightened condition thereof, about a virtual pivot axis that extends parallel to the central axes of the sleeve segments (2,3)near the slotted holes (12-14).
