A METHOD OF ESTABLISHING A FLUID-TIGHT CLOSURE

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4132957
A closure assembly for sealing off tubular members is described which is comprised of an annular seating surface for the member, a flexible sealing disk, a threaded plug for engagement with the member, and a push rod located in a central hole in the plug for deflecting inward the center of the disk seated in the member. Sealing is effected by moving the projections on the plug into contact with the deflected disk by screwing the plug inward; the push rod is then withdrawn, and fluid pressure applied in the member, resulting in a sealing pressure that is propertioasl to the fluid pressure.
