Abstract: A sleeve f or repairing a fluid pipe (12), including a rigid or flexible shell (22) which forms a mold that surrounds at least one defective area (10) of the pipe. A liquid-state polymerizable material is injected into the mold, which polymerizes and seals the defective area. The sleeve also includes an insert which is made up of several coils of a filiform element (14), which is wound into a helix around the defective area of the pipe, before the polymerizable material is injected or infused.
Abstract: Device for applying at least one active principle, consisting of a material wherein one or several capsules or microcapsules containing the active principle(s) are distributed in a binder having a sponge-like consistency so that the active principle(s) is/are released when pressure is exerted on the material. The device consists of a first part (10) and a second part (12), separated by a tear-off portion (14), the capsule or most of the capsules or microcapsules being located in the first part close to the tear-off portion, the first part being detached from the second part by tearing the tear-off portion so as to obtain, at the breakage interface, a surface for applying the active principle(s) contained in the first part when pressure is exerted thereon.
Abstract: A device for stopping a leak in a pipe having at least one crack, including an elastomer sheet applied against the crack with a force applicator and a clamping mechanism arranged around the pipe for applying a force on the force applicator. The force applicator includes shearing elements preferably consisting of a first group of rigid parallel partitions and a second group of parallel partitions arranged perpendicularly to the partitions of the first group, the partitions being arranged perpendicularly to the pipe and applying shearing efforts on the elastomer sheet on the site of the crack, forcing the elastomer to be deformed so as to match the shape of the crack, thereby stopping it.
