Russell Technologies India & WrapMaster Corporation resumed to the Phase II Burst test followed by Phase I conducted in June 2010 where the repaired spool sustained the pressure upto 200 kg/sq.cm. This time (during Phase II) the oil company wishes to test the repaired spool beyond 300 kg/sq.cm.

The patented PermaWrap composite reinforcement sleeve is a pre-manufactured rigid composite pipe wrap with some distinct advantages that are of direct benefit to our oil companies. PermaWrap composite sleeve is magnetically detectable for “smart pig” detection, eliminating any post identification method or procedure. This feature alone has saved our clients thousands of dollars each year in un-necessary excavations for pipe repair. Its patented “diamond grip” embossment technology provides a mechanical locking system allowing the individual layers of the wrap to nest within each other even on an incline or in the vertical position. This feature virtually eliminates telescoping during the composite wrap application.

“PermaWrap and WeldWrap is a permanent, cost-effective pipeline repair technology, suitable for non-leaking/leaking (conditions apply) defects such as pits, dents, gouges, and external corrosion. PermaWrap and WeldWrap can be performed on an operating pipeline without taking it out of service. It permanently restores and reinforces the pressure-containing capability of the pipe. PermaWrap can serve as a technically superior and is much safer alternative to the traditional pipeline repair practices such as pipeline replacement or the installation of full-encirclement steel split sleeves. PermaWrap repair has additional advantages of avoiding service interruptions and eliminating product emissions to the environment due to damaged pipeline.
