Patent number: 10605398Abstract: An example embodiment includes a remotely controlled pipeline section internal repair device. In some embodiments, the repair apparatus comprises elastomer seal rings that expand between an apparatus internal metal sleeve and the inner diameter of the pipe. The mechanical pressure exerted by the elastomer rings is such that the apparatus contains the internal fluid, as well as prevents ingress of external fluid when the pipeline is submerged.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2018Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: Stress Engineering Services, Inc.Inventor: Armando Rebello

Patent number: 9851043Abstract: A crack arrestor apparatus and method for making same by applying layers of a composite material of non-metallic fibers and resin around a length of pipe; the fibers generally aligned with the pipe circumference. The applied layers have a thicker portion in the middle and a thinner portion on the ends. Part of the pipe covered by the thicker portion is then yielded by application of radial force past the elastic limit of the pipe, thereby creating circumferential tension on the composite. At least a portion of the composite remains in circumferential tension upon release of the radial force. The residual stresses in the yielded metal pipe assist to arrest crack propagation. Thereby, the process to arrest a crack in a metal pipe includes maintaining circumferential tension in a composite residing around the pipe while maintaining compressive circumferential residual stress on the metal pipe covered by the composite.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2016Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: Stress Engineering Services, Inc.Inventor: Richard C. Biel
