REINFORCEKiT®4D-ECHT

Composite Repair for Pipe suffering from External Damage (High Temperature - Up to +110°C)

REINFORCEKiT® 4D-ECHT (R4D-ECHT) is a long-term composite repair system for pipes suffering from external corrosion and mechanical damage at high temperature (up to +110°C).

The original Brisma Africa concept is an association of Kevlar® tape and specific bi-component epoxy resin called R3X1080.

REINFORCEKiT® 4D is a wet lay-up system, wrapped helicoidally around the pipe in order to bring the mechanical resistance to the damaged pipe section.

Designed according to ISO 24.817 and ASME PCC-2 standards, this product will restore pipe original integrity. There is no limit in terms of pipe diameter and pressure, and it could be used without shutdown from -50°C up to +110°C (-58°F to +230°F).

We have developed our own software R.E.A (Reinforcekit Engineering Analysis) to design the composite repair and define the material requirements in accordance with international standards.

USES

  • Reinforce pipe suffering from:
    • External corrosion
    • Pitting
    • Dent
    • Weld defect
    • Mechanical damage

APPLICATIONS

  • Onshore and offshore (topside)
  • All pipe geometries including welds, elbows and tees
  • All pipe sizes (no limitation)
  • High pressure pipeline
  • Pipe operating from -50°C up to +55°C
  • Pipe transporting most common fluid and gas

BENEFITS

  • Online repair
  • Non-conductive repair
  • No hot work
  • Long-term performance
