ARMOR PLATE SYSTEMS for REPAIR AND REINFORCEMENT OF PIPELINES


Armor Plate is a compound material approved by DOT, composed of three elements:
1) an epoxy resin that restores pipe material loss by filling pittings and holes
2) a special fiberglass
3) an epoxy resin that is used to soak fiberglass.

It is manually applied, cold applied, and in operation, and can be applied on any pipeline geometry (including bends, elbows, tees, etc.)

Armor Plate System is used for Reinforcement and Repair of Pipelines in:
    Gas and Oil Pipelines
    Gas and/or oil plants
    Chemical Plants
    Refineries
    Running water and small house service pipelines.

Tests demonstrate that:
     It restores strength to accessories such as elbows and tees similarly as it does to straight pipelines.
    It can be used to revalue a pipeline when it is used to increase the strength of a certain pathway, so that operating pressure can be increased.
    Repairs can be carried out in pipelines with no need to depressurize them, under any weather or environmental condition, including off-shore or underwater repairs.

Advantages: Pittings in gas and oil pipelines in operation can be repaired permanently and at the same time they can provide anticorrosion protection to stop such localized Corrosion to continue, with Armor Plate System.
