Stopcorr Provides Girth-Weld Corrosion Protection Solutions in South America - Case Study

APPLICATION SPECIFICS

• Surface Preparation • Manual sanding and brushing
• Condition and ambient temperature measured
• Coating Application • StopCorr"" Wrap SC 6-33 was applied in 3 different location along pipe: upstream, midsection, downstream.
• PE outer wrap added over each layer toenhance mechanical protection.
• Application Duration • Total application time 80 minutes with the feasibility of immediate covering.

PROJECT NEEDS

• Protection against corrosion. Corrosion poses a critical challenge to girth welds, often compromising the structural integrity of pipelines. Over time, these key connection points can suffer significant damage, leading to operational disruptions and costly repairs.
• Preventative measures are essential to protect girth welds and ensure the longevity and safety of the pipeline system.
• Girth welds associated with field assembly must be coated and protection from mechanical damages.
• Quick and reliable field application of protective coating.

PROVIDED PROTECTION

StopCorr Wrap coupled with the PE Outer Wrap demonstrated strong performance in high-temperature conditions, with notable advantages in application speed and minimal surface preparation requirements.

This case study highlights the StopCorr Wrap`s Strength in:

• Durability
• Efficiency
• Adaptability
• Reliability

All under extreme conditions making an effective alternative to traditional shrink sleeves in challenging environment.
