Leak sealing and integrity reinstatement by pipe wrapping
The Miles Offshore epoxy resin pipe wrapping system was first used by the United States Navy in 1967 to fulfil damage control requirements and is registered as a product qualified under US military specification.
Applications
First used by the oil and gas industry to repair pipe-work transporting hydrocarbons, the pipe wrapping system has subsequently been used to repair various systems including firewater, delivery and high-pressure seawater injection lines, etc.
Material Performance
- Pipe Wrapping System - two part fast setting epoxy laminating resin system
- Specifically designed for high strength fibreglass bandaging repairs
- Temporary or permanent solution where pipes, tanks, valves, and other equipment subject to corrosion or erosion
- Excellent resistance to salt water, crude & refined oil, gasoline, caustics and most acids
- +70 kg/cm2 (1,000 psi) hydrostatic pressure after one hour's curing
- Operating temperatures up to 220°C (428°F)
- High-integrity fast-track repair solution
- May be used to defer costly unscheduled shutdowns by enhancing the integrity of the existing pipe.
- No requirement for costly pre-engineering and fabrication.
- Short lead-time.
- Minimum on-site support required during installation.
- Will confirm to almost any pipe work geometry.
- Repair is not susceptible to corrosion since it is non-metallic.
- Flexibility permits repair geometry and extent to be adapted on-site.
