Engineered Solution

The solution utilized the HydraWrap® Structural Composite Repair System.

Scope

The customer requested that the pipe system be reinforced and brought back to its original design condition and that the repair be made with a very quick turnaround.

Solution

The HydraWrap® composite repair was designed to reinforce an 8″ diameter carbon steel supply pipe with a maximum design pressure of 90 psi. The design of the HydraWrap® was based on limiting the strain in the composite repair to the allowable strains recommended by ASME. After applying the HydraWrap® system to the pipe, the composite repair was top coated with epoxy. The project took less than a week to complete.
