A sealing ring is contained inside the hubs which engages with pressure What happened Failure occurred due to incorrect manufacturing. The final material properties did not meet requirements and the clamp failed. A crack through the entire thickness of the body occurred due to the load from the bolts under tension and internal gas pressure The incorrect material properties probably only exist in the following: 1 , 1 and 2 diameter clamp connector segments Manufacturer - George Dykes Supplied prior to 2010 Clamp connector failure
