Abstract

In some implementations, an apparatus includes a body, a receiver in contact with the body, two tensioners operable coupled to the receiver and a strap that includes strong and flexible material in which each end of the strap is attached to one of the two tensioners and the strap is in contact with the body.

Abstract

In some implementations, an injection system that injects sealant into a pipe, pressure component or valve while containing the pipe, pressure component or valve repair that significantly reduces or eliminates release of hazardous material from inside the pipe, pressure component valve or injection system and thus significantly reduces emission of the hazardous material from inside the pipe, pressure component or valve into the environment and protecting the repair technicians.

Abstract

In some implementations of ignition-free welding in at least one fastener is attached to a container that resides within a hazardous environment. The fasteners are then used to secure a fill zone to the container. The chamber then receives a sealing material for the purpose of sealing a leak without having to remove the hazardous material.
