A device for protecting piping from lightning, comprising:
- the piping including tubular metal sections connected to each other by connection parts,
- wherein a first type of the connection parts is plastic material parts and a second type of the connection parts is metal parts,
- wherein the piping including the tubular metal sections is made from double skin tubes, each of the tubular metal sections including an inner tube and an outer tube that are concentric to one another,
- wherein the connection parts include an inner part to connect two inner tubes of adjacent tubular metal sections and an outer part to connect two outer tubes of the adjacent tubular metal sections, and
- wherein the inner tube of at least one tubular metal section and the outer tube of the at least one tubular metal section are slidable relative to each other along an axial direction of the at least one tubular metal section.
