AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patented describes different ways to fix pipes that are difficult to access due to their size. One way involves making it easier to attach them securely on metal plates called ferrules used during construction projects. Another method uses special tools like syringe pumps and can also help improve its effectiveness over time. Overall, this technology helps prevent damage from leakage caused by improper maintenance work.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed by this patented technology relating to leakage during maintenance procedures after repairs has been highlighted due to environmental conditions such as temperature changes over time that can cause corrosion damage to metal components used when connecting different parts together. This delay makes up an economic loss while also causing delays if there are no other options available beforehand.

Embodiment Construction

[0005]One or more of the problems outlined above may be solved by the various embodiments of the invention. Broadly speaking, the invention includes systems and methods for repair and sealing of leaks in pipelines under pressure. In one aspect, disclosed is a method for modular pipe repair, comprising: attaching two enclosure halves over a leak in a pipe to assemble a first repair enclosure; attaching enclosure attachment devices to the assembled repair enclosure, wherein each of the enclosure attachment devices is fastener such as a clamping bolt or clamping stud; determining if another repair enclosure is needed for another leak in the pipe, wherein if another repair enclosure is needed: drilling in the first repair enclosure a drill hole passage in each of selected ones of a plurality of angled grooves to connect to a primary groove in the enclosure; attaching a second repair enclosure to pipe; attaching enclosure attachment devices to the assembled second repair enclosure, wherein

Abstract

A modular pipe repair enclosure system includes first and second enclosure portions, and an enclosure attachment device. The first and second enclosure portions create an enclosure around the pipe for covering leaks. The enclosure has three openings for accommodating the pipe. The first and second openings are arranged at an angle of 180 degrees with respect to each other, and at an angle of 90 degrees with respect to the third opening, such that a straight line section of pipe may be accommodated by the first and second openings, an elbow section of pipe by the first and third openings, and a T-section of pipe by the first, second, and third openings. The system may further include a blank, for closing one of the openings, for use with a straight or elbow section, and a sleeve, for reducing the inner diameter of an opening, for accommodating pipes of different diameters.
