Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5594669
There exists within the gas utility industry a need to develop better equipment and methods to perform inside-the-building inspection and maintenance tasks, particularly in concealed threaded black steel pipe (BSP) systems in multifamily buildings. The report summarizes the Phase I effort of the Gas Research Institute's program to develop an in situ interior leak repair suited to U.S. housing conditions. This Phase I effort entailed determining the needs of the U.S. industry, conducting a state-of-the-art review of existing and related joint sealing technologies, establishing system specifications, and investigating applicable concepts.
