Abstract

A clamp device includes an inner member for assembly onto a cylindrical element, and the inner member includes an inner surface for releasable contact with a portion of the cylindrical element outer surface. The inner member includes an outer surface with an outward-facing conical shape. The clamp device also includes an outer member having an inner surface defining an inward-facing conical shape; wherein the inward-facing conical shape is complementary with the outward-facing conical shape, whereby when the outer member is assembled onto the inner member, a wedge effect is generated when the outer member is moved in the longitudinal direction. Either the inner member or the outer member includes sealing means that define an area on the respective member, whereby the area defines a sealed cavity between the inner and outer members. At least one of the outer member or the inner member includes a fluid port.
