ABSTRACT:
The connection or coupling between two equipments such as pipes (1 and 2) by a clamp (17) involves the use of a second clamp (8), tightened around the fixed pipe (1) and carrying a cradle (9) for supporting the clamp (17). This arrangement makes it possible to place the coupling parts in succession and to release them immediately afterwards. The cradle (9) also prevents the clamp (17) from tilting when its clamping screw (22) is turned. Finally, a sleeve (27) maintains the extension position of the pipes (1, 2), while also centering the sealing joint (32). All these advantages make it possible to correctly and easily assemble the parts with a single remote manipulator in the hot cells of nuclear installations.
