Ball joint for pipe connection and pipe connection
The present invention relates to a ball joint (1) for connecting two floating pipes, said joint comprising an inner shell part, an outer shell part and a clamp (50) with segments (60, 70, 80) that are moveable in a common plane (C) between an open position in which at least one of the shell parts is moveable into and out of the clamp, and a clamping position in which movement of both shell parts along the longitudinal centre lines is prevented. The ball joint is provided with a remote controlled actuator (40) for driving movement of the segments between the open and closed position, without requiring nearby personnel to keep the shell parts aligned. The invention further relates to such a clamp and to a method of connecting such a ball joint to two pipes.
