<p>A device for securing a pipe against fracture, comprising a sleeve-formed joint arranged around the location (13) of a pipe (12) which is to be secured against fracture. The joint is provided with a first member (10) and a second member (11) for fixing the joint around the pipe (12) on each side of the location where it is feared that pipe fracture may occur. The members (10, 11) each consist of a sleeve divided into at least two parts along axial sections and fixed around the pipe (12) by a winding of memory metal, the sleeve parts being interconnected by axially and radially force-absorbing connecting bodies (16) of such a strength that, in the event of a pipe fracture, they are able to take up the radial and axial forces which are triggered by the pipe fracture.</p> |
