Connector valve assembly for inflatable packer device

Abstract

The connector valve assembly is for insertion between a fluid inlet line assembly and an inflatable packer device having an externally disposed chemical dispensing assembly to pressure test and repair pipelines. The connector valve assembly is connectable to the fluid inlet line assembly which is comprised of a first chemical line, a second chemical line and a test media line and to the inflatable packer which has input connectors to receive the first and second chemical lines. The connector valve assembly has a first chemical conduit with an actuatable valve and connectors at opposite ends to transfer a first chemical component. A second chemical conduit with an actuatable valve and having connector means at opposite ends transfers a second chemical component. A valve actuating means is in communication with the second conduit at a location before its valve to simultaneously activate the valves of the first and second conduits. And, a test media conduit with a check valve to transfer a testing fluid is in communication with the second chemical conduit at a position beyond its actuatable valve. The connector assembly when inserted between the fluid inlet lines and the packer device, permits the chemical dispensing assembly of the packer device to test for pipeline leaks by dispensing a test media fluid and to seal pipeline breaks by simultaneously dispensing predetermined rates of two chemical components.
