ABSTRACT:
A weld-joint in a segmented sheath of a large diameter, high voltage, compressed gas insulated transmission line includes longitudinal, radially aligned outer margins forming a longitudinal seam of joined sheath sections, an internally disposed recess offset from the joined margins, a longitudinal tongue overlapping the joined outer margins and mating with the recess, and a longitudinal sealing gasket, preferably an elastomeric tube, disposed in the region between the tongue and the tongue-receiving recess. A hollowed cutaway section is provided within the joint and aligned with the radial margins to form an enclosed cavity. A longitudinal ridge is provided along the sealing gasket for spacing and protecting the gasket. The end of the tongue and the adjacent walls of the internally disposed recess form together a Vee grove for trapping loose particles internal of the tubular enclosure formed by the joined sheath sections. The enclosed cavity and sealing gasket promote a strong, full penetration weld along the seam.
