Abstract
The method for closing and sealing the opening of a wall of a container includes the steps of: providing the opening with a counterbore; inserting a first plug member into said opening in a fluid tight manner to establish a first seal; inserting a second plug member into said counterbore and above said first plug member and said opening; and fixing and sealing said second plug member to said wall around said counterbore so that a fluid tight second seal is formed between said second plug member and said wall thereby to provide a double seal for preventing leakage of fluid material from said container through said opening. The fluid tight closure assembly is adapted to provide a fluid tight closure for closing and sealing the opening in the wall of the container having fluid material therein. The closure assembly includes a first plug member which is inserted into the opening in the wall of the container in a fluid tight manner to establish a first seal, the opening being provided with a counterbore. The plug assembly further includes a second plug member which is adapted to be inserted into the counterbore above the first plug member and the opening. The second plug member is permanently fixed to the wall around the counterbore in a fluid tight manner so that a fluid tight second seal is formed between the second plug member and the wall thereby to provide a double seal for preventing leakage of fluid material from the container through the opening.
