Composite repair
At Seal Tight we only make use of TUV accredit composite systems that are engineered to restore damaged critical assets to the original design specification of the equipment.
Temperature Ranges
Composite wrap
Designed to operate on a wide range of temperatures with very little pressure limitations our systems can be applied by hand lamination, filament winding and may be applied to live piping systems without the need to shut down for the repair. Wrap may be applied to any pipe size, most piping configurations including tanks, vessels, flanges, and other structural assets.
Our composite systems are custom engineered to function in every specific site condition our clients may require. It provides re-enforcement of piping and other plant equipment in both the axial and hoop directions, and delivers uniform loading throughout the repair.
During our composite pipe repair process there is in most cases no need to shut down the plant or system to do the repair work. It is a system that saves time, labour and the need for heavy equipment costs. Pipes can also be wrapped while the line is in service whilst requiring no line evacuation, nor welding or cutting. It eliminates the use of heavy equipment handling and requires minimum working space while eliminating the need to shut down for the repair of damaged or corroded systems.
Each repair is engineered using ASME PCC2 or ISO TS 24817 engineering codes for high-risk non-metallic repairs. Part of the process can if required also include an FEA (Finite element analysis) on both the damaged component as well as the composite repair system. The systems are designed and engineered to restore pipeline systems to their original design parameters and allows for the piping systems to operate at its Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure while the plant, unit or system is still fully operational.
