| Abstract Scope |
Usually, the industrial piping is made by cheap carbon steel to save money, particularly at topside of offshore units. The corrosion creates holes on piping and needing stop the process to be repaired, usually to repair these piping is made by welding that is hot processing. This work investigates a modified epoxy resin incorporating ceramics particulates and reinforced by fiber fabrics to develop a cheap cold repair by polymeric composites comparing with commercial cold repairs in market. Some mechanical testing were done on these polymeric composites proposed and also on one commercial brand to be compared the properties, such as: flexural, compression and tensile. The fabric used were from natural resource with jute fiber and a synthetic one made by fiberglass from Wencon company. The results indicates that all mixtures can be used for permanent piping repairs, some results obtained from composites proposed are better than commercial system tested. |
