Non-metallic, composite reinforcement systems for pipes have become a standard method for repairing a range of defects including corrosion, dents, gouges, cracks, girth welds and seam defects. Composite repairs for pipes are hand-applied in the field, making application defects a potential source of concern, especially for larger repairs and hard-to-reach areas. The most common defects observed are air pockets trapped within the layers of the composite wrap.
Check out Advanced FRP’s latest presentation on the effects of air bubbles of varying sizes and depths. Specifically, we will look at the effects on the pressure capacity of repaired pipes with designed defects by performing live, hydrostatic pressure tests. We will also look at the effects of air bubbles on the liquid tightness of composite wraps that are applied on pipes with through-wall failures.
