Abstract

Repairs of corroded high-pressure pipelines are essential for fluids transportation under high pressure. One of the methods used in their repairs is the use of layered composites. The composite used must have the necessary strength. Therefore, the experiments and analytical solutions presented in this paper are performed according to the relevant standards and codes, including ASME PCC-2, ASME B31.8S, ASME B31.4, ISO 24817 and ASME B31.G. In addition, the experimental tests are replicated numerically using the finite element method. Setting the strain gauges at different distances from the defect location, can reduce the nonlinear effects, deformation, and fluctuations due to the high pressure. The direct relationship between the depth of an axial defect and the stress concentration is observed at the inner side edges of the defect. Composite reparation reduces the non-linearities related to the sharp variation of the geometry and a more reliable numerical simulation could be performed.
