PROCEDE POUR RACCORDER LES EXTREMITES DE DEUX ELEMENTS D'UNE CONDUITE, DE PREFERENCE METALLIQUE

摘要

When joining together pipes the pipe ends are usually placed opposite each other and then welded together. This cannot be done with heavy pipes. A gap exists between the ends (3 and 4) to be joined. The invention provides a joint by producing a splicing tube (5) the length of the gap and joining this by means of explosive welding. The invention is also applicable for mending a defect (2) in a pipe (1) by the removal of a sufficiently large section of the pipe (1) to allow the splicing tube (5) to fit into the space obtained, the part removed containing the defect (2).
