Abstract
A mechanical securing assembly () is adapted to secure the structural integrity of a flow passage formed by at least a first pipe part () and a second pipe part (). The assembly comprises a connecting member (), a first fastening member (), attached to the connecting member and adapted to secure the connecting member to the first pipe part, and a second fastening member (), attached to the connecting member and adapted to secure the connecting member to the second pipe part. The connecting member comprises a spring element () exerting a force pulling the first fastening member and the second fastening member towards each other along a primary axis (y), and thus being adapted to force the first pipe part and the second pipe part towards each other. The spring element is extendable along the primary axis by a compression of the spring element along a secondary axis forming an angle to the primary axis.
