An affordable, new standards-compliant composite repair system consists of a thermoset epoxy resin reinforced by a hybrid carbon/glass fiber wrap for application onto damaged pipelines, piping systems and vessels in pressurized services.
In the realm of high-pressure bolting, it is important to understand the dynamics and behavior of fastener systems under load, and how thread engagement is dangerously compromised by nut oversizing.
Elemental Strategies of Coatings Asset Management: Terry Greenfield Q&A
A review of a 40-year case history at two massive Gulf Coast refinery complexes in the U.S. exposes how drastically water-absorbent insulation impacts corrosion under insulation in the CUI temperature range.
