The present work presents evidence and aims to confirm general trends that
repairs made of composite materials can be used to completely restore the structural
integrity, disregarding the effects of aging, of pipeline segments that show
anomalies (defects) in metal loss on their external surface, as a result by corrosion
or erosion. Seven tubular specimens of API 5L Gr. B and ten tubular specimens of
API 5L X65 were tested to rupture using monotonic hydrostatic tests, with a
nominal external diameter of 323.9 mm and a nominal thickness of 8.38 mm. Two
samples tested had no defects. Six specimens were defective and were not repaired.
Nine specimens were defective and were repaired using three different composite
repair systems. The defects contained depths ranging from 40 percent, 55 percent and 70 percent of
the tube thickness. The repair systems were based on composites of epoxy and
carbon fiber, epoxy and fiberglass, and polyurethane and fiberglass. (FREIRE,
VIEIRA, et al., 2019)
To verify the experimental results, analytical and numerical methodologies
were implemented. The analytical method uses semi-empirical normative equations
(ISO 24817 and ASME PCC-2) and repair theory for pipelines (Equilibrium
Equation). Numerical evaluation consists of the finite element method for modeling
the problem using ANSYS (trademark) software.
The repair systems of the three suppliers proved to be effective according to
the Remaining Resistance Factor (RSF) calculated, disregarding the effect of aging.
The test results showed that analytical and numerical methods can be used to
understand the mechanical behavior of the problem and that composite repairs can
completely restore the structural integrity of pipelines with a loss in external wall
thickness, avoiding production downtime and reducing the risk of accidents.
