Can It Take The Heat: Composite Behaviors in Elevated Temperature Environments
The temperature at which a composite system cures significantly impacts its material properties. Performance uncertainties in elevated temperature environments can lead to safety, environmental, and financial risks. In 2024, Advanced FRP underwent comprehensive validation testing to analyze this behavior up close. The following test procedure was observed: See content credentials The results of the test [...] More -
Air Pocket Analysis: Exploring the Effects of Air Pockets in Composite Reinforcement Systems for Pipes
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 [...] More -
Internal Pipe Composite Reinforcement
Internal corrosion is one of the biggest problems contributing to pinhole leaks, cracks, and splitting on industrial pipes. It causes almost 60% of corrosion-related failures. Do you know how to detect, address and prevent interior corrosion? ⚠️ To fix corrosion from severe MIC or aggressive materials - apply a high-strength, anti-corrosion internal carbon fiber system. ⚠️ To [...] More
