ABSTRACT:
A puncture sealing apparatus for handing a fluid such as aircraft fuel, and a method for manufacturing a puncture sealing apparatus for handling a fluid. A metallic tubular member is provided which defines a chamber for the fluid; the metallic tubular member being constructed of a material which tends to deform outwardly upon a projectile exiting the chamber. A layer of puncture sealing material is disposed in covering relation to the metallic tubular member. An overwrap of filament material is wound directly onto the metallic tubular member in a predetermined winding pattern, and at a predetermined wrap tension, and the coating of puncture sealing material is disposed in covering relationship to the overwrapped metallic tubular member. The overwrap material, particularly at the disclosed wrap pattern and wrap tension, is effective to force portions of the metallic tubular member inward of the coating of puncture sealing material upon the exiting of a projectile from the chamber, to thereby allow the puncture sealing coating to seal the puncture without interference due to metal deformation.
