An insulating pipe coupling for ship to shore pipework comprises an annular body (4) with a circumferential series of cut-aways (7) at each end, the cut-aways at each end being staggered so that each cut-away (7) at one end is aligned with the castellated formation provided between two cut-aways at the other end. Respective through-holes (10) connect the cut-aways (7) with the end faces of the opposed formations (8) and accommodate bolts (11) used to secure one of the two flanges (1, 2), to the insulating body (4). Thus the sets of bolts secured to the respective flanges (1) and (2) are kept well separated from one another. A PTFE liner (16) may be provided. |
