Process and device for jointing fluid-transport pipe elements, comprising a metal tube and an anti-corrosion layer made from an elastomeric material, as well as, when appropriate, heat-insulation means surrounding the said layer. In order to form a continuous anti-corrosion layer, a sleeve (20) is attached which is made from a material of the same type as that forming the anti-corrosion layer (12), preferably from the same material, joined to the metal tubes (11) of the adjacent elements (101, 102) by an in-situ vulcanisation operation conducted by employing a heat cycle obtained with the aid of means (22) for the induction heating of the said metal tubes. Application to the construction of pipelines, in particular for transporting oil from offshore fields. <IMAGE> |
