  • Augmentation of mechanical properties of high pressure pipe
    Patent number: 10830383
    Abstract: A method of augmenting the mechanical properties of a pipeline section comprises the steps of (1) identifying a pipeline section which requires verifiable data and analysis to calculate a safe operating pressure; (2) wrapping the external surface of the identified pipeline section with two or more convolutions of homogeneous isotropic thin steel augmentation bands; (3) adhering the convolutions together via a structural adhesive; and (4) determining the pressure-containing ability of the resultant augmented pipeline section, while simultaneously creating the inputs to determine at least one additional useful engineering design input parameter of the augmented pipeline section, required to calculate and validate a safe operating pressure.
