Patent attributes
There is provided a device for electrically conductive contacting of a pipe having a band shaped metallic clamp (2) with two end parts (6, 7), wherein the clamp is equipped with parts of a closing device (11, 13, 14) at both end parts. The device has a separator (4) made from electrically conductive material, wherein the separator is deformable under pressure and wherein the separator is attached to the inner surface of the clamp. The device further comprises insulating material (3), wherein the clamp is embedded in the insulating material leaving free the inner surface required for making contact with the pipe. Furthermore, the embedded material leaves free both end parts of the clamp enabling a direct contact between both end parts in an assembly position of the device around the pipe.
