Leakages in piping are common in the industries due to long exposure to corrosive environment and other factors. Such leakages can result in loss of precious fluids as well as outage of the plant. In many cases such leakages may also result in health hazard to working personnel.

This is a novel device for arresting leakages in the pipes. This device arrests leakage in pipes faster than the existing solutions. It can be used by a single person. It does not require any special skill or training to operate this device.

1. A single person can easily arrest the leak
2. The device is quick to arrest the leak
3. Useful for arresting air/chemical/water leakages
4. The device is light, easy to operate and does not require skilled person

1. The device is useful in oil and gas industry, water supply facilities, chemical/petrochemical industry and other places where piping leakages need to be attended to

INTRODUCTION

Leakages in piping are common in the industries due to long exposure to corrosive environment and other factors. Such leakages can result in loss of precious fluids as well as outage of the plant. In many cases such leakages may also result in health hazard to working personnel.

This is a novel device for arresting leakages in the pipes. This device arrests leakage in pipes faster than the existing solutions. It can be used by a single person. It does not require any special skill or training to operate this device.

1. The device is useful in oil and gas industry, water supply facilities, chemical/petrochemical industry and other places where piping leakages need to be attended to.
2. It can be deployed or installed by a single unskilled person easily.
3. Precious fluid loss from the piping can be saved effectively by using this device.

The main advantages of the newly developed leak arresting device are as follows:

1. A single unskilled person can arrest the leak in quick time.
2. The design is very simple
3. Components are easy to manufacture. Assembly is simple.
4. All materials are available locally.
