CSNRI Atlas™ Installation Video for Pipelines

Atlas™ is a high strength, high stiffness carbon fiber solution for on-site repair of pipeline and piping structures. Atlas™ is is designed for repairs requiring strain reduction due to dynamic loading conditions.
Atlas™ composite repair system is comprised of a bi-directional carbon fiber system and high-strength epoxy resin. Field saturated and applied, this carbon fiber system contours extremely well around any seam or girth welds when combined with high strength load transfer filler helping minimize the strain at the crack tip.
Current testing has also shown that excessive reduction in install pressure is not needed although further testing on this matter is on-going. One major benefit of Atlas™ is the elimination of hot-work. Not only does this create a safer repair environment, it eliminates the need to purge Ethylene lines or maintain strict temperature limits during the repair. While it has proven highly capable in repairing cracks as has been discussed here, it also excels in repairing many other defect types such as dents, wrinkle bends, and of course, corrosion defects.

Very good video. Thank you very much. Please could you tell me why and where using a repair of a pipe with carbon fiber and epoxy resin (it's very cost). Thank you in advance
