A device that equals this weight could sit atop the BOP and stop the flow as long as it seals effectivley. making the seal is difficult as rubber will just blow out and away.A soft metal such as copper aluminium or even lead could be used the trick is to locate the metal accuratley in the BOP orifice. To achieve this a spike is utilised.
