    摘要: The methods and devices described herein are for repairing a break in a pipe and also provide means for adding additional pipes to an existing pipe. According to a first embodiment, a pair of end connectors are installed on the broken ends of a pipe and then a sleeve is slid over the gap between the two broken ends. According to a second embodiment, two half cylinder connector pieces are placed around a broken pipe and then a cylindrical sleeve is placed over the top. According to a third embodiment, two half cylinder connector pieces are glued to each other and the broken pipe, one of the half cylinders having a branch for installing an additional pipe to the pipe system.

    摘要: A termination assembly for an umbilical comprising a chamber through which pass one or more tubes extending from the umbilical, the chamber containing a filler material, wherein at least one tube is provided with an anchor for securing the at least one tube in the filler material, the anchor comprising a shape memory material. A method of making a termination assembly for an umbilical. The method comprises the steps of: (a) providing an anchor for mounting onto one of the tubes, the anchor comprising a shape memory material in a second phase and comprising an aperture which is in a second shape which the tube can pass through, (b) sliding the anchor onto the tube by passing the tube through the aperture, (c) allowing the shape memory alloy to undergo a phase change in which at least some of the second phase converts to a first phase such that the aperture returns towards a first shape which the tube cannot pass through, the anchor thereby gripping the tube, and (d) adding a filler material to the chamber.
