<p>The invention relates to a device for sealing a leak in a pipe (10) having at least one hole or crack (12), including an elastomer plate (14) applied to the site of the leak by a force distributor (16), and a tightening strap (20, 22) arranged around the pipe in order to apply a force onto the force distributor. The force distributor consists of a support grid and separate force modules, each of the modules being placed so as to be slidable in one of the units of the grid and arranged perpendicular to the pipe so as to apply shear forces to the elastomer plate at the site of the leak, forcing the elastomer to deform so as to closely match the concave or convex shape of the pipe at the site of the leak and thus to seal the hole or crack.</p> |
