Abstract
Composite repair systems continue to gain popularity as a rehabilitation option for the energy industries. In order to successfully specify and install these systems, a greater understanding of the requirements set forth in the ASME PCC2, Article 4.1; Nonmetallic Composite Repair Systems: High Risk Applications, is crucial for successful design and long term service. Understanding the content of this document will provide confidence in using composite repair technology to maintain asset integrity.
This paper will discuss key topics within the ASME PCC2, Article 4.1, including qualifying repair systems for use through physical & long term testing, design of repairs, defined components of a composite repair system, the allocation of responsibility for key functions including quality control, training and documentation requirements.
