ABSTRACT:
A method and assembly for forming a compression seal about a stud in a base, for the purpose of effecting repairs in coatings over the base. The method comprises forming a compression seal about a stud in a base which comprises placing layers of a compressible sealing material on the base material about the stud. The layers are placed parallel to the base, and a relatively rigid material is placed over the compressible material so that the stud extends through both the compressible material and rigid material. The layers of the compressible material are compressed into sealing relationship by applying force to the rigid material in a direction against the base and only normal to the base; and securing and sealing the rigid material to the stud to maintain such compression, thus forming a seal to the base material about the stud. The assembly comprise a stud secured to said vessel wall and having a partially threaded portion inserted in the breach and a second portion exposed at said lining surface. A flexible and compacted packing material is disposed over said breach and about the surface of said exposed portion of said stud. A concave dome-shaped cap is mounted over said packing material and has a central aperture therein through which extends the free end of said exposed portion of said stud. A nut on said stud maintains pressure on said cap against said packing material to simultaneously squeeze the material into sealing position against both the exposed portion of said stud and the lining of said vessel on and about said breach. The improvement in the plug comprises using layers of packing material laid essentially parallel to the lining surface which are compacted into a fluid tight relationship by compression normal to the lining surface, without application of rotational force to said dome shaped cap about said stud.
