    Patent number: 5609369
    Abstract: A clamp for securing adjacent lengths of pipe. The clamp incorporates a seal designed to incorporate a temperature or pressure probe. The clamp is circular and has upstanding end portions and a threaded rod member passing through apertures in the upstanding end portions to secure flange ends of the adjacent lengths of pipe together. The rod member has an opening through which the temperature or pressure probe passes so that temperature pressure can be measured within the adjacent lengths of pipe. Furthermore, seal components held by a support member can be provided to seal the support member to adjacent lengths of pipe. The temperature or pressure probe passes radially through such support member.
