Composite Repair and Reinforcement Technology for Oil and Gas Pipeline and its Development Trend

Abstract:

Pipeline repair and reinforcement technology can generally be categorized into three main types: Welding, Clamp, Fiber Composite. Fiber Composite Repair recently undergoes fast development because it does not require heat or welding and can be directly applied to high pressure transmission pipeline. This article summarizes Fiber Composite Repair technology and its mechanism, also compares the application characteristics of Glass Fiber, Carbon Fiber and Basalt Fiber composites and finally concludes broad application prospects of Carbon Fiber Composite in pipeline repair and reinforcement.
