  • Patent number: 9746110
    Abstract: A gas-tight pipe connection that has inner and outer pipe parts which when joined create a gas tight seal. The inner pipe part has a press fit surface, a stop surface, and a transition surface between the press fit surface and the stop surface. The outer pipe has an outer collar, a press fit surface, and a stop surface as well as a recess in its interior wall which extends from the press fit surface to the stop surface. When the outer pipe part is joined with the inner pipe part, the connection forms a press fit region, a stop region, and a transition region, where the transition region forms a coaxial intermediate space or hollow space.
