Description
IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO
CLAMPS AND CONNECTORS
This invention relates to clamps and connectors.
According to this invention a clamp or connector comprises structure having an axis and providing a surface inclined to the axis, angularly extending gripping means for engaging the inclined surface and gripping a surface of an elongate member, the gripping means being circumferentially discontinuous such that the gripping means is circumferentially adjustable in response to the surface of the elongate member, and means for moving the inclined surface and the gripping means relative to each other to urge the gripping means more firmly into engagement with the elongate member.
There may be a deformable annular seal associated with the gripping means for sealing between the structure and the elongate member.
The structure may comprise two parts, one of which parts provides the inclined surface, and means for moving the two parts relative to each other to effect the more firm engagement.
Each part may have a said inclined surface and associated gripping means.
The gripping means may comprise a gripping element extending the full angular extent of the surface of the elongate members viewed axially in use.
The gripping element may comprise two separate, overlapping gripping members.
The gripping element may comprise a substantially annular member with confronting end faces on spaced end regions when unstressed, the end regions being chamfered to provide cooperable surfaces on overlapping of the end regions in use.
The gripping means may comprise a surface inclined to the axis and slidably cooperable with the inclined surface of the structure.
The gripping means may be circumferentially contractible and expansible and axially deformable.
The structure may comprise a housing part and an annular member engaging the seal axially.
In one example the structure inclined surface is on the housing part and/or the annular member.

A clamp or connector 10 for an elongate member, for example a pipe, is shown in Figs.l, 2 for connecting or clamping the ends of two pipes 11, 12. The clamp 10 in an unstressed condition is symmetrical about a central transverse plane 13 but this is not essential.
As shown the clamp 10 has two annular housing parts 14, 14a each having a central longitudinal axis 14b and having at their axially inner ends on their inner circular section surfaces 15 an annular recess 16 having at its axially inner end an axial surface 17 and at its axially outer end an axially outwards and radially inwards inclined surface 18. A central axial annular distance piece 19 is located in the recesses 16 with a radially outer surface 20 nominally engaging the surfaces 17,
The end portions 21 of the distance piece 19 engage annular deformable seals 22 which seal between the surfaces 17, 18 and the outer surface 23 of the respective pipe 11, 12.
At their axially outer ends the seals 22 engage respective gripping elements 24 which engage the inclined surface 18 and pipe surface 23.
The gripping elements 24 are formed as a ring of a helically wound wire 27, the length of the ring 27 between the ends 25, 26 of the wire being for example between lOmm and 20mm greater than the engaged circumference of the pipe. The end portions 25a, 26a of the wire thus overlap as seen axially.
The housing parts 14, 14a are formed with a plurality of equi-angularly spaced bores 30 which are aligned to receive bolts 31 with nuts 32 so that on tightening of the nuts 32 the parts 14, 14a are moved towards each other and the gripping elements 24 are moved axially (and thus radially inwards) into gripping engagement with the pipes.
Before tightening of the nuts 32, the ends of the pipes 11, 12 are inserted into the housings 14, 14a until the pipe ends engage, Fig. 12.
As shown in Fig. 1, the nuts 32 have been tightened until the axially inner faces 34 of the housings 14, 14a engage but they could be spaced as shown dotted in Fig. 6. The pipe ends could also be slightly spaced, again as shown in Fig. 6.
Depending on the degree of tightening, the gripping element 24 may gouge into the pipe, the material of the ring being harder than the material of the pipe.
The circular pipe is gripped around its complete circumference as seen axially.
The cross-section diameter of the wire 27 would typically be at least 1 of the external diameter of the pipe.
The clamp or connector 10 is particularly arranged for accommodating ovality of the pipes 11, 12, that is where the cross-sections of the pipes 11, 12 depart from true circles,
The nominal outer diameter of the pipes 11, 12 may range for example from 1.9cm to 53cm (ineh to 24inch) and they are made typically with a diameter tolerance of plus or minus 1%.
If the pipe outer surface is oval, the element 24 can adjust so that it still grips the pipe continuously through a full circumference as seen axially, within the design range of the clamp and the expected tolerance of the pipe.
The internal pressure in the pipes 11, 12 when installed for example in a pipeline may range up to for example 20000 pounds per square inch or more, (138era).
Figs. DA to 3D show examples of adjustment of the element 24 and seal 22 to accommodate variations in the radius C diameter of the pipe as indicated by the different distances 40 between the surfaces 15 and 23. As the element 24 adjusts to the ovality, the ends 25, 26 of wire 27 may move angularly towards or away from each other as seen axially and portions of the wire 24 are displaced axially from the positions adopted when the pipe is circular. As can be seen from Figs. 3A to 3D, as the wire 27 moves along the inclined surface 18 the wire 27 moves axially and radially. The element 24 may additionally tilt and the axes of the housing parts 14, 14a become non-coaxial with the axes of the pipes.
The seals 22 are made of material which can flow as required, for example graphite or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Typically the clamp would be intended to be in position for a considerable period, and if removed the seal would typically be replaced before re-use of the clamp.
If additional grip is desired, further housing parts with gripping elements and seals can be added. For example as in Fig, 6 where housing parts 50, 51 have been added, the parts 14, 14a having inner annular extensions 52 engaging the seals 22 in the parts 50,5L
In some cases only one pipe is gripped. For example as in Fig. 4 the housing part 14 is replacedby an end cap 53 having an annular extension 55 engaging seal 22 in part 14a and an annular seal 54 in cap 53 engaging the end of the pipe.
In the embodiment of Fig. 5, additional wires 27 are located at the axially inner ends of the seals 22 and the axial ends of the distance piece 19 are inclined outwards to provide surfaces 19a engaging the respective wires 27 to give additional grip on the pipes. This modification can be used in other embodiments such as Figs. 1, 6.
Fig. 7 shows the position of the gripping element for an elliptical pipe at four positions equiangularly spaced around the pipe, the wire 27 gouging into the pipe at 28. If the pipe is not circular the wire 27 moves radially and axially to adjust (see dotted at 29
Fig. 1) and continues to grip the pipe around the circumference within the design parameters of a particular arrangement. In Fig. 2 the pipe is not oval.
In the arrangement of Fig. 10, only the ends 49 of distance piece 19 are inclined but this is not appropriate in curcumstances where the gap 40 is so large that the seal 22 is forced out. It will be understood that the gripping element 24 engages the seal 22 which provides a reaction force on the element; if the reaction force is reduced, the effectiveness of the gripping element is reduced.
Correspondingly the seal 22 should not pass to an undesirable extent into the gap 43 between the distance piece 19 and surface 23 (Fig. 1).
In Figs. 8, 9 the gripping element 24 is formed by a wire 44 which extends incompletely around the pipe. A similar wire 44a is located axially inwards of the wire 44 but rotated through 1800 so that the wire 44a overlaps the gap between the ends of wire 44. The seal 22 is located axially inwards of and engaging the wire 44a which prevents the seal 22 moving into the gap between the ends of wire 44.
The pipes 11, 12 can be radially outwards of the clamp parts, for example as shown in Fig. 11; this can apply to other embodiments.
In the above embodiments the gripping element 24 is circumferentially adjustable around the pipe and engages the pipe surface continuously around an arcuate portion, preferably a full peripheral engagement.
Fig. 13 shows a use of the clamp in repair. If a pipe 62 has a damaged portion removed, an external apertured flange 61 can be welded to the end of a replacement pipe length 60 secured in place with an annular gasket seal 65 between the flange 61 and housing part 14. The other end of length 60 would be similarly secured to another pipe 62 at the other end of the gap produced by removal of the damaged portion.
Pigs. 14 to 17 show another form of gripping element 24. In this case the gripping element is a split ring 7.2 having, in an unstressed condition, a gap 72a between ends 73, 74. The ends 73, 74 have flat radial faces 73a, 74a and are chamfered in opposite sides to form flat faces 73b, 74b, Fig. 15.
The cross-section of the ring is shown in Fig. 16 and has flat axial end faces 75, 76, a flat radially inner face 77 which extends radially inwards as it extends axially inwards, and a radially outer face 78 which extends radially outwards as it extends axially inwards.
The inclination of face 78 to the central axis 14b is nominally the same as surface l9a so that in use the surface 78 can slide along surface l9a. Corners or edges 79 between faces 75, 78 and 78, 76 and 75, 77 are rounded but axially and radially inner corner 80 between faces 76, 77 is sharp so that on tightening of nuts 32, the edge 80 can dig or gouge into the pipe (see Fig. 17). This provides additional resistance to relative axial separating movement between the pipes 11, 12.
The ring 72 can be formed by appropriately shaving and cutting a circular section ring.
For larger diameter pipes, it is desirable to similarly chamfer the ends of other forms of gripping element. For example as shown at Fig. 2A to reduce undesirable shearing forces on the seal 22.
In some cases an annular seal is provided between the confronting end faces of parts 11, 12.
In some cases of a thin-walled pipe, the effect of the gripping element may be to remove ovality in the region of the gripping element.
If the elongate member(s) are solid e.g. a turned or extruded rod of essentially uniform circular crosssection, it may be possible to omit seal 22 but the seal permits positional adjustment in the operation of the clamp or connector.
If the clamp is to be used with elongate members which have external surfaces essentially circular, for example solid rods produced by turning or extrusion, the element 24 would not be displaced axially unless it deformed the pipe but if the pipe is oval the element 24, 72 is expanded or contracted circumferentially and deformed axially under the action of the seal and the inclined surface 18.
The elongate members may be of different materials, for example plastics or steel or fibreglass.
The gripping means described above are circum ferentially discontinuous, as compared with an integral ring, and as viewed axially in use extend fully around the inner or outer periphery of the pipe.
