| dc.description.abstract | A hydraulic hose repair system is presented that was developed for use at the Deepwater Horizon accident site. The system can be deployed with a single ROV with two controllable arms. One arm holds the device and the other arm pushes a severed hose into the device. Hydraulic pressure is applied from the ROV to the device and a hydraulic coupling within the device is crimped into one end of the hose. The second hose end to be spliced to the first is pushed into the other side of the device and the second half of the coupling is crimped onto the second hose end. The device itself is left in place as part of the splice. The design, on-shore testing, and fabrication of multiple devices ready to deploy at the accident site took on the order of a week to complete. They stand ready to be deployed in the case of another deep-water accident. Keywords: Deepwater Horizon; Hydraulic; Hose; Repair; Coupling | en_US |
