SylWrap Pipe Refurbishment System
The SylWrap Pipe Refurbishment System is a four-stage process which restores pipework back to its original specification by using a combination of Sylmasta products to repair, strengthen and protect pipelines and critical infrastructure.
Repairs made using the SPRS go beyond what is possible with leak repair kits. The SPRS rebuilds weakened pipework, provides protection against corrosion and chemical attack, and strengthens pipelines in the most challenging environments – including underwater.
At each of the four stages of the process, the product most suitable for the application is selected. When used together, these products provide a cost-effective and less disruptive alternative to pipeline replacement.
Some applications may require more specialist solutions, such as epoxy resins with very high chemical or temperature resistance. Because Sylmasta manufacture all their own products at their production plant in the UK, materials can be formulated and supplied based on client needs.
If you do not see a product at any stage of the process which appears suitable for your repair, please contact Sylmasta.
The Four-Stage Sylmasta Pipe Refurbishment System
Stage 1: Leak Sealant
When a pipe is leaking and needs to be sealed, the sealant acts as the first layer of repair. Self-fusing pipe repair tape seals live leaks. Epoxy putties fill cracks where pressure can be isolated. If there is no leak, this stage of the process is skipped.
Stage 2: Reprofile
Reprofile products rebuild the outer wall of damaged, degraded pipes back to original specification. They remove sharp angles before wrapping, and provide full contact and load spreading between the pipe and the composite layer applied at Stage 4.
Stage 3: Surface Coating
An epoxy surface coating provides an additional layer of external protection from corrosion and chemical attack, forming an impermeable membrane around a pipe. It also increases adhesion to maximise surface contact with the composite layer.
Stage 4: Composite Wrap
Refurbishment is completed using a composite wrap to provide a rock-hard, impact resistant sleeve around the repair. The composite layer further protects pipelines, extends their lifespan, and increases hoop strength and pressure resistance.
The SylWrap Pipe Refurbishment Calculator
The below calculator app can help determine the most suitable product at each stage of the SylWrap Pipe Refurbishment System. Start by selecting the SylWrap Pipe Refurbishment System – Comprehensive Calculator tab. Then enter the diameter of the pipe, the length of pipework to be repaired, the pressure the line operates under and the required safety factor.
The safety factor is a multiple to include a margin of safety. For example, if pipe pressure is 5 bar and you want a safety factor of two, the calculator will formulate a repair capable of withstanding 10 bar.
Filling in the requested information over whether the pipe is leaking, requires surface damage repair and if a protective coating against corrosion is wanted will return each product and the quantity required.
For stage four, the calculator will show the recommended size of SylWrap Pipe Repair Bandage to complete the application. Changing the SylWrap size will calculate the number of bandages of that particular size needed to complete the repair.
