Gas Pipe Leak Repaired On Site
PROBLEM
Pin holes and cracks in a 16" pipe line carrying gas.
Gas = N2 Nitrogen
Temperature = 30-40°C
Pressure = 3.5kg/cm²
Pipeline OD. 20cm |
|
APPLICATION
After exposing the pipe line by removing the protective lagging,
the pipe surface was hand prepared by ensuring it was roughened
up as much as possible.
The Thistlebond TRK19605 was applied to the pipe. |
|
| The pipe was also found to have fairly thin walls, so one other
advantage of the UPS Pipe Repair was to increase the thickness of
the pipe wall around the defective area, thereby giving the client
some peace of mind regarding the LIFE expectancy of the pipe line.
|
|
The complete application had to be carried out whilst the pipe was
in service.
The SURFACE TOLERANT characteristics of the UPS TRK19605 made this
possible.
