A pipe coupling is provided with means to fix at least a pipe end. The fixing means comprise a stub (1) and a sleeve (5) extending radially outside it at a distance so as to provide between these an annular depression (13) in which the pipe end (12) may be positioned. The fixing means additionally comprise at least one diaphragm (7) having its one side facing the wall of the pipe end and its other side facing a cavity (6) to which a fluid under pressure may be supplied with a view to pressing the diaphragm (7) substantially radially against the wall (12) of the pipe end. |
