SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PIPE REPAIR USING FIBER WRAP AND POLYMERIC RESIN

摘要

A system and method of repairing a pipe including securing a reinforcing material , such as a dry fiber structure (e.g., carbon fibers) to the surface of the pipe. An outer sleeve is installed around the reinforcing material . A polymeric material is placed (e.g., poured) into the interior of the sleeve around the reinforcing material . External pressure is applied to the sleeve . The polymeric material substantially saturates the reinforcing material and cures to form a reinforced polymeric composite which may increase or restore the pressure rating or operating pressure capacity of the pipe .
