Abstract:
A reinforcement device for a cylindrical pipe through which steam passes, the steam being obtained by heating water using combustion heat of a boiler, includes: a first reinforcement member that makes surface contact with an outer peripheral surface corresponding to one semi-circumference of the pipe, the first reinforcement member having a thickness that decreases toward both ends in a longitudinal direction of the pipe; a second reinforcement member that makes surface contact with an outer peripheral surface corresponding to another semi-circumference of the pipe, the second reinforcement member having a thickness that decreases toward both the ends in the longitudinal direction of the pipe; and a coupling member that couples the first reinforcement member and the second reinforcement member together around the pipe.

Claim (Index 5):
The pipe reinforcement device according to  claim 4 , wherein:\n the elbow portion has both ends each coupled to the straight portion of the pipe, and the first reinforcement member and the second reinforcement member each have a length contacting the straight portion, in a length in the longitudinal direction of the pipe, that is equal to or greater than three times a diameter of the pipe.
