Material Properties
As with any composite using a woven fabric, the properties are highly dependent on the direction being tested. In general, the
two directions are known as:
Longitudinal - refers to the "length wise" orientation of a roll.
Transverse - refers to the direction perpendicular to the roll length.
If installing a hybrid repair or multi-directional repair, an average value will be used. Additionally, the fabric orientation will
determine if the longitudinal properties are in the hoop or axial direction.

Initial Design Considerations - Custom Design
The following section discusses basic input requirements for a custom design. Information is heavily reliant upon the
ASME PCC-2 and ISO 24817 standards as well as more rigorous internal requirements.
Thermal Properties
The installation, operating and design temperatures are all used to determine the physical response of the repair system under
the proposed conditions. First, the maximum service temperature is determined.

Substrate is Not Leaking Tm = Tg - 20°C


Substrate not leaking
Design Lifetime (tlifetime) 5 years Tm = HDT - 15°C
Limiting Temp. component is the PPR resin. Substrate leaking Tm = Tg - 20°C
Property measured as Glass Transition Temp (Tg). Design Lifetime ≤ 2 years Tm = HDT - 15°C
Measured HDT Value 150.0 °C Substrate leaking Tm = Tg - 30°C
Max Service Temp. (Tm) 130.0 °C Design Lifetime > 2 years Tm = HDT - 20°C

Determining Temperature De-rate Factor


To account for temperatures above tested conditions, a linear de-rate factor is used to extrapolate.
Max. Design Temp. (Td) 90.0 °C Std. Operating Temp. (Top) 37.0 °C

Leak Temperature De-Rate Factor (fT2) 0.81 Performance Temp De-Rate Factor (fT3) 0.81

Evaluating Effects of Thermal Expansion


When there is a difference between the pipe temperature at installation and the design temperature, the composite and pipe will
expand (or contract) at different rates. These strain differences will result in a thermal stress in the hoop, axial and radial directions. In
extreme temperature swings, these stresses may result in a composite failure. The values below are used later to ensure that failure is
not achieved by considering temperature and pressure variations.

Determining the Repair Thickness


The initial minimum thickness is determined by comparing the appropriate structural, axial or leak repair thickness and
determining which value is highest, if applicable.
Structural - Hoop Direction Structural - Axial Direction Leak Repair Scenario
6.439 mm 0.000 mm N/A
Initial Minimum Calculated Thickness (tmin,i) 6.439 mm 12 layers

The initial minimum calculted thickness is then multiplied against the limiting length multiplier, if applicable.
Limited Length (fth,overlay) N/A if Lover is larger than Lavailable
Multiplied Calculated Thickness (tmin,m) 6.439 mm 12 layers

Any additional layers are then added, whether from external erosion protection or due to other non-standard influences on the
substrate or repair system.

External Erosion Protection 0.000 mm 0 layers
Additional Recommended Layers 0.000 mm 0 layers
Final Calculated Thickness (tmin,f) 6.439 mm 12 layers

Next, the calculated thickness is compared with the company minimum layer count to determine the final minimum repair
thickness required.
Final Calculated Thickness (tmin,f) 6.439 mm 12 layers
Company Minimum Thickness (tmin,c) 6.706 mm 12 layers
External Loading or Vacuum (tmin,e) 0.000 mm 0 layers
Final Minimum Repair Thickness 6.706 mm 12 layers

Lastly, the final minimum repair thickness is rounded up to the nearest layer thickness and adjusted, if needed, to fit with the
prescribed installation technique.

Load Transfer Filler
The primary load transfer filler being used is the EP-420 system. It is a 2-part epoxy with very high compressive strength and
modulus. Its primary purpose is to reshape any defect or provide a transitional zone while maintaining stress distribution from the
substrate to the composite.

Load Transfer Filler Name EP-420 Working Time 20 minutes


Filler Type Paste Set Time 1 hour
Filler Item Number EP-420 Cure Time 24 hours
Compressive Strength (psi) 101 MPa Defect Volume 19,354.8 mm³
Compressive Modulus (psi) 3,999 MPa Weld Transition Volume 0 mm³
Minimum Cure Temp. 4 °C Additional Volume (shaping) 682.7 mm³
Glass Transition Temp. 177 °C Total Filler Volume Required 20,037.5 mm³

Load Transfer Filler Application Overview


The EP-420 resin comes as pre-measured dump kits. When ready to begin, open up the jars and and mix A & B together on a
cardboard mixing pallet. Once uniform in color (minimum 2 minutes of mixing), begin applying to the defect area - apply to all voids
and "tented" areas.

Adhesive Primer / Top-Coat


The primary adhesive primer being used is the PPR adhesive system. It is a 2-part epoxy used to ensure maximum bonding
between the composite system and the substrate material. For any composite repair, the bond-line is the most critical element in the
repair system. Below are the relevant material properties.

Adhesive Name PPR Working Time (minutes) 30 minutes


Adhesive Type Standard Set Time (minutes) 2 hours
Ahesive Item Number PPR-2L Cure Time (hours) 24 hours
Lap Shear Strength 2,826 Primer Surface Area 0.54 m²
Energy Release Rate 1.000 Top-Coat Surface Area 0.48 m²
Glass Transition Temp. 150 °C Total Surface Area Required 1.02 m²

Adhesive Primer Application Overview


The adhesive primer resin comes in 2 equal volume containers. With a 1:1 mix ratio by volume, scoop out the required amount of
Part A and Part B and mix on a cardboard mixing pallet or in a disposable mixing bucket. Mix until uniform in color (2-3 minutes
minimum) and then apply as needed.

External Wall Loss Overview

circumferential cut

View of pipe wall thickness - axial cut

External Defect Volume 19,354.8 mm³


After applying the load transfer filler and primer adhesive to the pipe, the surface to be wrapped should be concentric with no
sharp points or stress risers present. It is expected that all further external wall loss has been stopped.

Properly applying the load transfer filler and adhesive primer is critical to the long-term success of a repair. Ensure that sufficient
time is provided beforehand to discuss any unique circumstance and what the best approach may be for a specific repair. Time well
spent on this step will ensure a quicker and easier composite installation.

Installation Overview
This section is only intended to provide a brief overview of the general repair process.
This section does not override the installer manual, any custom procedures or any quality control documents.
Composite
Before beginning a composite repair, the pipe surface must be prepped. This is Repair Zone
typically performed with media-blasting or with mechanical tools. The defect shall
than be cleaned with Acetone, MEK or Toluene and then re-examined to verify that
the original design is still valid. Defects

Mix and apply the EP-420 load transfer filler over the entire defect region.
Additionally, any welds or other non-smooth surfaces should be filled until a smooth
transition is created. Depending on the conditions present, additional filler material
types may be provided.

Mix and apply the PPR adhesive primer over the indicated primer length.
Typically, this primer can be used as a top-coat as well, however, a different top-
coat may be used. Allow the primer to thicken before applying the composite wrap.

Apply the composite wrap. The technique of applying the wrap will change
based on various factors. The following page has a summary of installation
techniques. For a detailed explanation of each technique, please refer to the
installer manual.

Installation notes on the FormaShield™ LT repair system:


This repair system utilizes a field-applied epoxy resin. The resin typically comes in pre-measured dump kits - simply pour the jar of
Part B into the jar of Part A and mix for 30 seconds. Once mixed, apply the resin to the dry fabric until saturated - be careful not to
oversaturate the resin or leave dry spots. Roll the fabric onto the applicator stick and begin wrapping the pipe. Repeat process when
multiple rolls are required. For further information, refer to the product's installation manual.

Apply 6 layers of constrictor wrap over the repair zone using the spiral wrap
method if applicable. Once wrapped, use the Perforator and perforate the
constrictor wrap around the entire repair zone. Doing these steps will compress the
repair while it cures and allow excess resin or gases to escape.

Allow 2 hours (temperature dependent) for the system to harden, or "set".


Once hardened, remove the constrictor wrap completely and examine the
composite for any defects.

Upon inspection and approval, apply a top-coat to the repair system (if
needed). Typically, the adhesive primer used earlier can double as a top-coat,
however, most common top-coat technologies will work as well.

General Note :
This overview only considers straight pipe. For repairs with different geometries, please refer to a later page in this design
package or a custom procedure (if created) for guidance.

Composite Wrap Installation Techniques Overview
Before beginning, verify which installation technique should be used. The following section depicts a brief summary of each
installation technique commonly used. These steps assume that all steps are complete up to composite wrapping.

Layer over Layer


The layer over layer technique is the most basic installation technique. This is used when the repair zone is equal to or smaller
than the width of fabric to be applied. With this technique, the wrap is applied to the center of the repair zone and continuously
applied, overlapping itself, until all the provided material has been utilized.

1) 2) 3)

Offset Method
The offset method is used primarily for large diameter pipes with repair zones greater than 12 inches. The core element of this
method is that the first two layers are offset from each other by two inches. This creates a tie-in region between multiple segments.
After these first two layers are applied, the remaining layers are applied similar to the "Layer over Layer" installation technique. When
beginning the next section, this two inch offset continues until the last segment is reached. On the last segment, directly wrap over the
offset tab using the standard "Layer over Layer" install.

1) 2)

3) 2 inch 4)
offset
tab

Spiral Wrap
The spiral wrap technique is used primarily for long repair zones on small / medium sized pipes. This technique involves wrapping
the pipe at an angle causing the wrap to overlap itself, typically 50% of the fabric width. By spiral wrapping from one edge to the other,
two layers are applied before reversing direction. At the edges of the repair, always wrap 2 full layers before the initial spiral wrap and
always when reversing direction.
For very long repairs, spirally wrapped segments may be pieced together similar to the offset method.

1) 2)

3) 4)

Overlap
The overlap method is used only on small repairs with a low layer count where space may be limited. In this technique, two
segments of fabric will overlap each other a specified distance. This overlap is to ensure that the composite repair will fit within the
restricted repair length. It is best to alternate layers as much as possible.
