Abstract
A pipe joint including an outer pipe assembly having a first outer pipe portion, a second outer pipe portion, and a shroud coupling the first and second outer pipe portions. The outer pipe joint includes an outer securing mechanism securing the shroud to the second outer pipe portion. The inner pipe assembly, within the outer pipe assembly, includes a first inner pipe portion coupled to a second inner pipe portion via an inner pipe joint. The inner pipe assembly provides an inner fluid flow path extending axially and across the inner pipe joint. The shroud is movably mounted to the first outer pipe portion, and the outer securing mechanism is releasable so the shroud can move along the first outer pipe portion and withdrawn from the second outer pipe portion to open a gap between the shroud and the second outer pipe portion for the inner pipe joint.
