The objective of this research is to provide pipeline operators with testing procedures and results of the performance of composite pipe repair methods and ultimately, improve their selection and installation, and reduce the risks associated with faulty or ineffective repairs. This will be achieved by: ? Establish and modify testing protocols to evaluate long-term properties of the repair systems. ? Work with the suppliers, service providers, and ASME PCC-2 Subcommittee on Post- Construction Repair and Testing in developing and modifying standards to test and evaluate the performance of the composite repair systems available in the market. ? Provide the pipeline operators with guidelines for evaluating and selecting the appropriate repair method based on pipe characteristics, damage criteria, and performance of the repair.
Main aim of this project was to evaluate alternate standard test methods for stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and compare them with the results from sl...
