Abstract

In conjunction with Los Alamos National Lab, the team designed a handheld crimp and seal tool to allow HAZMAT teams to quickly seal tubes leaking hazardous materials. We characterized crimping forces and associated leak rates by developing precise testing systems which informed our 4-bar linkage design. This design creates a high mechanical advantage and effectively seals to a desired leak rate.
