THERMOCOMPENSATING JOINT

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4701157
A joint between lengths of pipe is patented, which minimizes the tendency for the joined surfaces to separate due to differences in the thermal expansion coefficients of the pipes. A flange and means of clamping are designed so that the clamping pressure is applied in the contact plane of the surfaces to be joined. Various flanges and clamps to accomplish this are described and illustrated. (M.P.G.)
