[0002] The transmission of fluids through pipelines is a common technology that has been widely used. When a part of the pipeline suddenly leaks or bursts due to corrosion or other unexpected situations during operation, emergency repairs are required. Conventional technology can use local clamps-rubber pads to plug leaks, while for bursts and other situations that require pipeline replacement, production can only be stopped. The pipeline is shut down, and the suspension of production to replace the pipeline will bring economic losses to the enterprise.
