1. Preamble

3X Engineering is specialized in the development and commercialization of pipe repair systems mainly for corrosion and
leak maintenance (oil, gas, water and power station applications).
Its patented applications are mainly focused on the use of composite materials (Kevlar® 49 / Epoxy). 3X Engineering
currently sells the following products: REINFORCEKIT EVOLUTION, REINFORCEKIT 4D, REINFORCEKIT COATING,
REINFORCEKIT WATERSLEEVE, STOPKIT and REFLANGEKIT. Certified by Bureau Veritas (cf. attached report) the
REINFORCEKIT Evolution has been authorized for implementation by Total in 2003.
Today, in the optic of a technologic upgrading, 3X Engineering has developed the REINFORCEKIT 4D. This new
wrapping composite solution is in accordance with the last standards ISO 24.817, ASME PCC-2 and Total’s GS EP PLR 310. The
REINFORCEKIT 4D is currently tested by PRCI (Stress Engineering Services INC.) and has been validated in house by 3X
Engineering. The design incorporates the ageing criteria of the materials in order to optimize the repair system in a long term way.
3X Engineering has chosen Aramid as a base of the reinforcement material. Indeed, the Young modulus of the Aramid
fiber provides the highest performance without using conductive carbon fiber.
3X Engineering has also developed its own Pipe Defect Register (P.D.R) software. The P.D.R permits to list and fill easily
your inspection data from your NDT measurements (see below). It is also linked to finite element software called REINFORCEKiT
Evolution Analyse (R.E.A) that predicts the stresses concentration and the composite sleeve behaviour before and after the repair.

 REINFORCEKiT 4D

The composite sleeve is made of a ceramic reinforced resin (until 80°C continuously) and a Kevlar® tape of 400
g/m².
The composite system is wrapped helicoidally around the pipe in order to bring the
mechanical resistance to the corroded pipe section. The number of layers, determined by
calculation, is linked not only to the pipe pressure, temperature, diameter and thickness but also to
the pit depth and length, the steel grade and the pipe location.

3X’s Aramid tape

After many tests, the design of the tape has been improved to get an easier impregnation of the resin and to
optimize the characteristics of the composite material. In order to help the technicians to overlap the Aramid tape when
wrapping, different colours lines have been woven in the Kevlar® tape.

2. The scope of work

This scope of work of is referenced to the TEPM inspection report YAD-12-0586, Riser Neoprene, 15-Dec-
2012.
2.1 36” Riser :
To perform the engineering and step by step procedure to be submitted prior to start the job for 2m above
the anchor flange and 2.7m below the anchor flange to neoprene coated area along the 36” export
pipeline and to perform the engineering to protect the anchor flange to cut the oxygen ingression.

2.2 20” Unused Riser at PP:

To perform the engineering and step by step procedure to be submitted prior to start the job for 2m above
the anchor flange and 0.6m below the anchor flange to neoprene coated area along the 20” WP2
incoming line riser and to perform the engineering to protect the anchor flange to cut the oxygen
ingression.

2.1 Customer's details

Company: TOTAL E&P MYANMAR
Site: YADANA Platform

2.2 Repair Calculation for six defects

As per the design of the 3X Engineering’s REINFORCEKiT 4D, the fibers are woven in both directions (20%
axial and 80% circumferential) so that the composite will definitely sustain the circumferential and the axial
stresses.

8. Conclusion

Made from a ceramic charged resin for a temperature of use until 45°C continuous and
with a Kevlar tape of 400 gr/m², composite system is rolled helicoidally in order to recover
mechanical resistance for the corroded pipe. Number of layers is determined after calculation
and in function of the pressure and state of the support.
Reinforcekit 4D is designed as per ISO 24.817, ASME PCC-2 and GS EP PLR 310. The
calculations of the composite repair length and the number of layers are based on the
BARLOW Law for each defect.

Thanks to Yves FURMANOWSKI, Kyaw Thein Tun, Phyo Thet Zaw and to everyone
who helps the 3X team to perform this job in the best conditions.
