Success Story
Pipe Corrosion Repair with Syntho-Glass
Problem
A high pressure water injection line has external corrosion on girth welds.
Conditions
Removal of the shrink sleeves revealed external corrosion ranging from 20% to 50% wall loss.
Solution
Apply Syntho-Steel® epoxy mastic to corroded area and wrap with the calculated number of layers of applied to Syntho- Glass®. This solution brings the HPI line pressure capability back to that of a pristine pipe.
Result
Thirty joints ultimately repaired with each, then subsequently pressure tested with no failure. Normal operations resumed at 2300psi.
