Composite repair materials for pipelines and tanks
One of the most innovative methods for the repair and renovation of the pipelines is the application of composite materials, also known as composite couplers. Composite couplers facilitate in the renovation and reinforcement of the pipeline strength, also, they are used as a protective measure against corrosion. In case the pipeline is damaged by corrosion, because of which the pipe wall becomes very thin, and there is a risk that the pipeline may break or it is already leaking, the composite coupler is one of the best and the easiest repair methods. The composite coupler can be mounted by only two workers within one hour. No special tools are required for the repair, only prior to the installation a certain preparation of the tube surface is necessary, which can be done by the customer or we can do it for the customer. The main advantage of such repair is that it does not require stopping the production process or the operation of the pipeline. It satisfies the ASME PCC-2 and ISO24817 standards and in respect to the scale of damage it might prolong the service life of the pipeline even up to 50 years under the manufacturer’s warranty. The above mentioned technology is also applied to the repair of tanks. Therefore, in case you need to repair the old pipeline and tank or you need to reinforce the welding seams of the new pipeline, please contact us and we will provide you with the best solution. Moreover, we can mount the coupler ourselves and offer you the complete repair solution from the troubleshooting of the pipeline up to its complete renovation.
