Pipeline Repair Types

The document is a table summarizing repair options for various types of pipeline defects. It lists different defect types down the left column and potential repair methods across the top row. The body of the table then indicates with "Permanent" or "No" whether each repair option is suitable for each defect type. Additional notes provide further details on some of the repair options and defect types.

(a) Replacement of the affected pipeline section can be used to repair any defect.
(b) Hot tapping can be applied only to defects that are small enough to be removed by the hot tap.
(c) A force screw leak clamp can be applied only to small leaks that can sealed by such a clamp.
(d) Make sure defect length is subcritical or pressurize sleeve.
(e) Make sure that internal defect or corrosion does not continue to grow beyond acceptable limits.
(f) Grinding alone up to 0.4t depth may be used, provided that defect and defective metal are removed and that local wall loss is acceptable.
(g) Repair may be used for defects less than 0.8t deep, provided that damaged material has been removed by grinding and removal has been verified by inspection.
(h) It is recommended that the damaged material be removed with removal verified by inspection or that the carrier pipe be tapped for this repair.
(i) Use of filler material in dent and engineering assessment of fatigue are recommended.
(j) Code and regulatory restrictions on maximum dent size should be followed.
(k) Code and regulatory limits on amount of permitted grinding should be satisfied.
(l) The split-sleeve clamp should be the type that transfers axial loads and provides full structural integrity.
(m) Defect should be removed by grinding and area inspected before and after welding.
(n) Sleeve should be designed and fabricated to special "pumpkin" configuration.
