External Pipe Repair

When pipe system physical condition is in doubt, wall thickness is measured using manual or electronic means to discover the average thickness and general condition. It is recommended that piping inspected having less than 15-20% of original wall thickness is replaced. In instances where isolated pinholes (1.5≤mm) are present within otherwise suitable pipe frame, the coating process will seal such isolated pinholes. A cold-weld metal filler may be a desired application on a small section and wrapped with a fiber glass resign to ensure a sturdy reinforced substrate.

Pipe Cleaning

Internally, the system must be thoroughly flushed and drained from all fluid and debris, followed by high-velocity airflow to facilitate drying and complete moisture removal. 

The pipe surface shall be prepared to clean substrate by sequential application of a specific abrasive media.  The surface preparation standard shall be selected based on the remaining wall thickness. The prepared substrate shall be free of oil, dust, mill scale, oxides, and other foreign materials.

Internal pipe coating

We are experts in creating laboratory-controlled conditions within pipelines. Advanced atmospheric control over temperature, humidity, and airflow velocity is crucial for optimal coating performance. Based on the substrate type and the medium being transported, the appropriate JOTUN polymer is selected for each application.
