Abstract:
1. A pipe joint for connecting pipes comprising: flanges having a respectively predetermined identical width which are circumferentially formed at both ends of connection tubes for respective pipes which form a main body for the pipe joint for connecting the pipes; connection units having an outer circumferential surface, the connection units being respectively fitted with the flanges, in which a connector is axially installed at an axis traversing a circumference of one connection unit at the respective ends of both sides of one connection unit and a groove into which the connector is inserted and locked is formed at the respective ends of both sides of the other connection unit, wherein the groove is formed to protrude within the outer circumferential surface of the other connection unit; a protrusion and an O-ring groove which are respectively formed at the end of one connection tube; and a concave portion closely contacting the protrusion which is formed at the other connection tube, to thereby make the other side surface of the O-ring which is fitted into the O-ring groove closely contact the inner circumference of the concave portion, to thus maintain air-tightness.
