The method of clamping flanges (21) of adjacent pipes (20) together by applying a substantially even pressure around and over the periphery of adjacent flanges (21), said flanges (21) having abutting faces (22), such that the flange faces (22) are compressed together. This is effected by the provision of a clamp (10) which includes clamping means (30, 35) able to be placed substantially around and over the periphery of adjacent pipe flanges (21) and the provision of a tensioning means (40) which, when tightened, causes that clamping means (30, 35) to apply a substantially uniform compressive force to the pipe flanges (21) such that inside faces (22) of the pipe flanges (21) are caused to closely abut one and other.
