Pipeline defects repair methods

1
 Defect Repair By Type B Sleeve

Select the sleeve of same grade

and wall thickness as that of pipe
else match the strength
Fillet Weld

Sleeve Butt Weld

Carrier Pipe

 Can be used for leaking as well as non leaking defects

 It’s a pressure containing sleeve so welding should be done
under strict quality control
 It takes both longitudinal and circumferential loads
