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.
