Advantages of CFRP Pipeline Reinforcement

Carbon fiber offers high strength and modulus and is among the best-balanced reinforcement composites available.

Seven Engineering Advantages

  1. Hot-work free — repair under live pressure
  2. Fast install — simple operation, short cycle
  3. Modulus close to steel — composite carries pipe pressure and constrains expansion
  4. High tensile strength — outstanding safety; excellent creep resistance keeps strength stable over service life
  5. Thin layer — friendly to subsequent corrosion protection
  6. Conformable wrap — handles girth and spiral welds (including high reinforcement / severe mismatch), elbows, tees, reducers and other irregular fittings
  7. Broad scope — corrosion, mechanical damage, cracks; also full-section pressure uprating
