Patent number: 11022516Abstract: A method of providing a pressure test on a tube to identify leakage includes the steps of (a) mounting a clamp on a tube adjacent an end and such that a plug which is part of the tool is positioned to plug an inlet into the tube, (b) actuating the tool to cause the plug to provide a fluid tight seal in the inlet, and (c) applying a source of pressure to the tube, and monitoring the pressure within the tube, and identifying a leak should the pressure drop more than a predetermined amount in a particular period of time. A tool for use in providing a seal on a tube end to allow a pressure test is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2019Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: Raytheon Technologies CorporationInventors: John Pergantis, Zachary Sears, Anthony Valenti

Patent number: 10576613Abstract: Methods and tools are provided for pressing a ring seal into a component. In one method, a tool is anchored to the component. The tool includes a first aperture which extends along an axis. The first aperture is coaxial with a second aperture in the component. The ring seal is pushed axially through the first aperture towards the component, where the tool radially compresses the ring seal as the ring seal moves axially towards the component. The radially compressed ring seal is pressed into the second aperture using the tool.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2018Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: United Technologies CorporationInventors: John Pergantis, Anthony Valenti, Usman Khan, Michael L. Comeau
