Abstract: A method for effecting a repair and/or strengthening of a pipe. The method comprises cleaning an affected area of a surface of the pipe to provide a cleaned surface of the pipe surface for an area requiring repair; applying a continuous strip around the pipe from a portion prior to the affected area and allowing the continuous strip to extend to a portion after the affected area. The continuous strip forms a spiral sleeve spaced from the pipe surface to provide an annular chamber between the pipe surface and the spiral sleeve.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a repair apparatus and method for pipe and fittings. In one form, the method relates to utilizing fabric-like material which is intermixed with an adhesive. In one form, the adhesive is a two-part adhesive which hardens to a semi-rigid state to avoid stress fractures through repeated expansion and contraction due to physical movement or temperature variation in the pipe and/or fittings. In one form the method and apparatus are particularly useful in thermoplastic pipes. In other forms, the method is particularly useful in metal pipes and fittings, or in non-pipe structures.

Abstract: Methods for repairing a defect in a pipeline. In some embodiments, the method includes filling the defect with a filler such that an outer surface of the defect is substantially flush with an adjacent outer surface of the pipeline, curing the filler, wrapping a reinforcing material around the pipeline over the defect region for a plurality of turns, coupling the reinforcing material to the pipeline, wherein a pressure load applied to an inner surface of the pipeline is transferred through the pipeline and the filler to the reinforcing material so as to increase a safe operating pressure of the pipeline, and electrically coupling the reinforcing material and the pipeline, whereby an electrical potential in the pipeline is transmitted to the reinforcing material.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The disclosure concerns a method and apparatus for repairing or structurally reinforcing an oil and gas well tubular member, or an assembly of tubular members. The assembly to be repaired can include a smaller diameter inner flow conveying conduit (or production tubing) and a larger diameter concentrically placed surface casing, providing an annulus in between the production tubing and the surface casing. A third casing pipe of largest diameter, the drive pipe is placed around the surface casing string. Other “conductor” casing pipes can be positioned around the surface casing inside the drive pipe. Part of the surface casing string (or other conductor pipe) can suffer damage due to corrosion. A sleeve or repair member is placed around the casing string or other tubular member at a damaged portion.

Abstract: A method of prestressing and reinforcing damaged pipes includes using a resin impregnated substrate, or a fiberglass fabric coated with a resin, to wrap a damaged area of the pipe. In order for the substrate to compress the pipe, the pipe is wrapped tightly. The compressed pipe has a negative hoop stress when the pipe is not under internal pressure. This negative hoop stress offsets the hoop stress due to the internal pressure from the fluid flow, so that the maximum hoop stress of the pipe is not exceeded. In an effort to provide this tightness, a pressurized portion of resin is introduced between the substrate and the pipe. A bladder may be inserted between the pipe and the substrate to contain a functional amount of prestressing resin injected under pressure. The resin used for prestressing can be the same as or different from the resin used to impregnate or coat the fiberglass strips.

Abstract translation: 预应力和加强损坏的管道的方法包括使用树脂浸渍的基底或涂覆有树脂的玻璃纤维织物包裹管的损坏区域。 为了使基材压缩管子，管子被紧紧包裹。 当管道不在内部压力下时，压缩管道具有负的环向应力。 这种负箍应力抵消了来自流体流动的内部压力的环向应力，使得不超过管道的最大环向应力。 为了提供这种紧密性，树脂的加压部分被引入到基板和管之间。 可以在管道和基材之间插入气囊以容纳在压力下注入的功能量的预应力树脂。 用于预应力的树脂可以与用于浸渍或涂覆玻璃纤维条的树脂相同或不同。

Abstract: A method and composition for grouting a water-flooded cavity. Water and portland cement are combined to form a fluid cement slurry, the slurry being substantially free of sand or other aggregate material, and the slurry is then colloidally mixed so as to achieve an ultra-fine mixing thereof. An anti-washout admixture is mixed with the slurry in a predetermined amount, and a superplasticizing agent is also preferably included, both the anti-washout admixture and the superplasticizer agent being substantially free of defoaming agents. Finished foam is then mixed with the slurry to form a stable foamed cement grout which is injected into the water-flooded cavity. The anti-washout admixture is preferably a modified cellulose ether solution.
