Smart Band approved for Emergency Pipe Leak Sealing

HCL products are used by a number of Companies in the Corrosion Industries and one of those is ClockSpring NRI.

HCL supply our Smart Band Compact and Hand Tool which compliments CS/NRI’s sealing plug to provide a fast and effective means of sealing round and irregular leaks in live pipelines at up to 200psi.

When over-coated with their composite wrap system this can provide a completely non-metallic permanent leak sealing solution at pressure up to 487psi! No need to know what the diameter is beforehand and keep a number of kits on the shelf as HCL’s Smart Band Compact (included in the CS/NRI kit) will accommodate multi-diameters.

Applications 

• Leak Stopper is ideal for onshore energy pipelines, refineries and petrochemical plants, process piping on topsideand municipal water and gas distribution lines, replacing bulky bolt-on products that require more time to install

and introduce greater risk. 

• Installing the Leak Stopper is simple. The process requires a trained installer using a gauged clamping device to

tension the specialized band securely over the leak. The result is a reliable and durable temporary repair within

seconds. Once the Leak Stopper™ is installed and the leak is stopped, Critical Infrastructure engineers can designengineered composite solution as an overwrap to prolong the life of the piping system. 

Benefits 

• Rapid repair process prevents environmental exposure to hydrocarbons within seconds 

• Teeth designed into the tightening band improve strength, safety, and repair speed 

• Low-profile repair enables composite overwrap application

• Not diameter specific – The band can be used for various pipe diameters 

• The Leak Stopper works fast! It is designed for quick and safe, temporary leak containment, with an optimized

strapping method that achieves efficient and secure composite placement using embedded, raised teeth that are

part of the band. 

• Using a low-profile buckle makes executing composite repairs less awkward and time-consuming than alternative

methods and produces a tapered edge only 1 inch thick. 

• Tested and validated product performance guarantees dependable results. Conditioned samples of the band have

been verified by third-party labs to have limited creep and high break strength values, giving confidence that a Leak

Stopper repair is a reliable repair. 

• Leak Stopper is sealing plug to provide a fast and effective means of sealing round and irregular leaks in live

pipelines at up to 200psi. 

• When over-coated with their composite wrap system this can provide a completely non-metallic permanent leak

sealing solution at pressure up to 487psi! No need to know what the diameter is beforehand and keep a number of

Features: 

• Available in a kit that can be stored on site for emergency application

• Teeth designed into the tightening band simplify and expedite safe installation

• Additional bands interconnect for pipes larger than 16” diameter

• Third-party verification of materials performance in aged samples
