Product Name
CSNRI Pipe Wrap Kits (formerly Milliken Pipe Wrap Kits)
Brief Description
CSNRI Pipe Wrap Kits are durable, easy-to-use composite repair systems consisting of resin-impregnated fiberglass tape. They are designed for protecting pipes against corrosion, abrasion, and impact, as well as for repairing leaks and reinforcing structural integrity. These kits can be applied to various pipe materials and are effective in challenging environments, including underwater applications.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Corrosion repair and prevention- Abrasion and impact protection- Emergency offline leak repair, capable of sealing leaks up to 450 psi- Structural reinforcement of pipelines and piping systems- Repair of dents, gouges, pits, and external corrosion- Underwater repairs- Applications in high heat and harsh chemical environments- Process piping for chemicals, oil, gases, water, and steam
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Petroleum Industry, Products or Services- Chemical Industry- Energy- Construction/ Building Services- Marine- General Manufacturing- Government & Military- Industrial Supply- Engineering Services
Special and Unique Features
- Water-activated, pre-impregnated fiberglass tape for simplified application- Easy and quick to apply, often requiring no special tools or hot work- Can be applied on dry, wet, or even underwater surfaces- Repairs leaks up to 450 psi- Resistant to most harsh chemicals and thermally stable at elevated temperatures, up to 400°F (205°C)- Bonds effectively to various pipe materials- Drinking water safe- Conforms to any shape, including elbows, tees, and flanges- Meets industry standards such as ASME PCC-2 and ISO 24817- DOT-accepted repair system for high-pressure transmission pipelines (for related CSNRI products)
Key Properties
- Material: Resin-impregnated fiberglass tape- Pressure Rating: Repairs leaks up to 450 psi- Temperature Resistance: Thermal stability up to 400°F (205°C) operating temperature. Application temperature typically ranges from 40°F to 120°F (5°C to 49°C)- Cure Time: Sets within an hour, with full cure achieved after 24 hours- Shelf Life: 2 years when stored at 75°F (24°C), extendable at lower temperatures (above 40°F / 4°C)- Tensile Strength: Approximately 51,800 PSI (357 MPa) (for similar CSNRI composite wraps)- Tensile Modulus: Approximately 3.01 x 10^6 PSI (20,753 MPa) (for similar CSNRI composite wraps)
Surface Compatibility
- PVC pipes- Metal pipes (e.g., steel, copper)- Fiberglass pipes- Concrete pipes- Bonds to virtually any pipe material
Known backups / known substitutes
- Traditional pipe replacement (cutting out and replacing damaged segments)- Welded repairs (for metal pipes)- Pipe clamps- Steel sleeves (full-encirclement steel split sleeves)- Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining/relining- Epoxy pipe coating/sprayed-on lining- Pipe patching (using epoxy-based patches or rubberized sleeves)- Slip-lining- Other CSNRI composite products (e.g., Clock Spring, A+ Wrap, Atlas, SynthoGlass, ThermoWrap, SnapWrap, DiamondWrap, TridentWrap)- Competitor composite wraps (e.g., StrongBack, Armor Plate, PermaWrap, Belzona SuperWrap II)
Comparison Note
CSNRI Pipe Wrap Kits offer a trenchless, no-hot-work, and often online repair solution, providing a cost-effective and less disruptive alternative to traditional pipe replacement or welding, particularly for corrosion, abrasion, impact, and leak repairs. Unlike some temporary fiberglass wraps, CSNRI's engineered composite solutions are designed for permanent repairs and structural integrity restoration, meeting stringent industry standards. They are especially advantageous for repairing complex pipe geometries and in situations where minimal downtime is critical.
