  • Patent number: 5209266
    Abstract: An inflatable, expansible, multisize plug device which seals and locks the interior of a pipeline section. The plug device comprises a cylindrical body structure and includes a central member and removable inner and outer disc members attached thereto. The outer disc member further has a raised screw mounting structure longitudinally formed thereon. An inflatable elastomeric sealing ring is disposed annularly about the body structure, and forms an inner cavity between the sealing ring and the body structure.
