Pressure element

A pressure element (1) for use in a coupling device for exerting a clamping force on a pipe, comprising wherein the said pressure element (1) is configured to be used as one of a series of correspondingly embodied pressure elements (1), wherein said pressure element (1) as well as each pressure element (1) of said series comprises a first pressure element segment (2) and a second pressure element segment (3) and wherein in use the first pressure element segment (2) is arranged for being placed proximally and the second pressure element segment (3) is arranged for being placed distally with respect the longitudinal axis (14) of the pipe wherein in that the first pressure element segment (2) of said pressure element (1) as well as of each first pressure element segment (2) is provided with at least on stop (4) and the second pressure element segment (3) of said pressure element (1) as well as of each second pressure element segment (3) is provided with at least one cooperating counter stop (5) for limiting an extreme position of the first pressure element segment (2) and second pressure element segment (3) with respect to each other, wherein the stop (4) and the counter stop (5) of the first and second pressure segment (2, 3) of the same pressure element (1) co-operate with each other.
