Under Pressure:
How to Contain a Leak Fast

A small leak can quickly escalate into a major incident - bringing chemical exposure, environmental contamination, and costly downtime. In high-risk environments such as oil and gas facilities, threaded couplings and flanges can start seeping because of thermal cycling, eventually leading to failure.

When access is tight or surfaces are irregular, traditional sealing methods struggle to cope. The longer the delay, the greater the risk of compliance breaches and reputational damage.

Engineered for Speed and Precision

The Vetter Leak Sealing Lance is designed for rapid, controlled intervention when speed is critical. Operators can insert a sealing tip directly into the leak point, creating an immediate barrier against escaping chemicals. Its adjustable length and interchangeable heads make it suitable for holes from 30–90 mm and cracks from 16–60 mm. Crucially, the lance can be positioned from a safe distance, reducing exposure risk while maintaining precision. Unlike external patches, which can fail on irregular surfaces, the lance injects sealant internally. This creates a temporary but dependable seal that holds until maintenance or repair can be carried out. By containing leaks at the source, the lance prevents escalation, limits contamination, and buys valuable time for corrective action.

A Leak Under Pressure

When a valve begins to fail in a storage tank in a chemical plant, corrosive substances can quickly cause problems. The leak is small at first, but with every minute it continues, the risk of contamination and costly downtime grows.

Traditional sealing methods might struggle with the awkward angle and pressure involved. With the Leak Sealing Lance, responders can act immediately - positioning the lance from a safe distance and injecting sealant directly into the leak point.

Within minutes, the flow is contained, giving maintenance teams the breathing space they need to carry out a permanent repair without environmental damage or spiralling costs.

Why It’s a Game-Changer

Leaks aren’t just operational issues - they’re safety and compliance risks. The Leak Sealing Lance bridges the gap between emergency containment and permanent repair, giving teams confidence to act fast without compromising safety.

Speed and adaptability matter. The lance doesn’t just contain leaks; it safeguards compliance, reduces clean-up costs, and protects reputation. For sectors like oil, gas, and chemical plants, these outcomes are critical.

Take control before a leak becomes a crisis. Discover the Vetter Leak Sealing Lance - your first line of defence against industrial leaks.
