An improved band seal clamp for clamping of tubular members is disclosed which features a band-like clamping member having slots formed in its ends for interaction with bolts held rigidly in holes formed in a spacing member disposed between the ends of the clamp. The ends of the band are shaped to define surfaces at an angle with respect to the surface of the tubular members which coact with force bars having corresponding shapes. Throughbolts fit through the slots in the band, holes in the force bars and the holes in the spacing member, so that upon tightening of the bolts the ends of the band clamp are forced outward, thus exerting a compressive stress on the tubular member.

A band clamp for clamping of one or more tubular members, comprising: an elongated flat strip of material adapted to be circumferentially wrapped around said tubular members to be coupled and having outwardly extending end portions, said end portions having slots extending in the direction of elongation of said strip for interaction with clamping means inserted therethrough; a central shaping and spacing member adapted to be disposed between the end portions of said strip and having holes formed therein for insertion of said clamping means, said holes being so sized as to fit relatively closely with said clamping means, and shaped to fit said tubular members to be clamped; and first and second force transmitting members adapted to be disposed on opposite sides of said central shaping member and of said end portions of said band, said force transmitting members having holes formed therein for insertion of said clamping means and having outwardly extending reaction surfaces formed thereon to interact with inwardly extending reaction surfaces formed on the end portions of said band, whereby the slots permit the end portions of said band to move generally radially outwardly with respect to said tubular members when clamped by said clamping means.
