Abstract: For the issue of the industrial pipe wall lining the thickness of dynamic changes difficult to be measured, based on the principle of ultrasonic thickness measurement and ultrasonic propagation in solids and based on existing research and theory of ultrasonic, this topic has designed a ultrasonic technology solution for measuring the thickness of the pipe wall lining. This technology achieves online measurement and non-destructive thickness measurement. Through processing and analysis of the experimental results, it demonstrates the feasibility and reliability of the technology. This technology has great significance for improving the security and stability of the pipeline.

Abstract: A pre-action fire suppression system was installed in a portion of a US Army Reserve Component Headquarters building in the Southeastern United States, when the structure was constructed in 1995. A pre-action fire suppression system, which is normally kept at a standard internal air pressure using air compressors in the basement electrical-mechanical room, is designed to remain dry and only have water in it in the event of a fire. The installed pre-action system developed pinhole leaks due to what appeared to be galvanic corrosion. An in-situ epoxy lining technique was used to stop the corrosion and restore the integrity of the fire suppression system piping. The work included lining of all interior pre-action piping mains, risers, branch laterals and service piping to individual sprinkler head locations, installing new ½” sprinkler heads on the preaction system followed by recertification of the pre-action system. This presentation describes the in-place epoxy lining process and presents before and after photographs of the coated system used to eliminate the pin hole leak problem.
