Abstract
A pipe joint comprises a pair of tubular joint members, an annular gasket interposed between abutting end faces of the joint members, and a nut for joining the joint members. A seal projection is formed on the abutting end face of each joint member at a position radially outward of an inner periphery of the end face. When an end of the seal projection is brought into contact with an end face of the gasket by tightening the nut, a clearance is formed between an outer flat portion of the abutting end face of each joint member and the gasket end face opposed thereto. The clearance is greater than a clearance between an inner flat portion of the abutting end face of each joint member and the gasket end face opposed thereto, and is eliminated when the nut is completely tightened up.
