ABSTRACT:
A leak repair clamp for pipe and pipe flanges providing a segmented frame adapted to receive interchangeable annular segmented inserts. All of the inserts provide for interlocking connection with the frame segments but each insert is adapted to fit around one particular diameter cylindrical surface out of a range of different diameter cylindrical surfaces. By selecting particular sized inserts, a single frame can accommodate a wide range of different diameter pipes and pipe fittings. When the insert segments are interlocked into the frame segments, the frame segments are then integrated by bolting threaded studs through flanges to form a unit, which in combination with two interlocked inserts is fastened around and against the cylindrical surface. Thrust restraining set screws are provided to prevent movement of the metal frame relative to the cylindrical surface the frame is fastened around and against. The leak repair clamp further includes injection valves to permit the injection of the liquid sealant into the annular space enclosed by the pipe and pipe clamp and integraded frame and insert unit.
