Abstract
The integrity of a pipeline is essential in the proper functionality and prevention of catastrophic events such as explosions. Loss of integrity can lead to leaks or cracks which have the potential to affect operating temperature, pressure, and flow within the pipe. Pipe failure can be the result of corrosion, improper welded joints, and environmental stressors. Environmental factors such as flooding, earthquakes, and soil movement can all lead to damaged pipelines [1]. Previous studies such as one conducted by Hanis Arifin et al., focused on improving the performance of the repair system for damaged pipes [2]. While repair materials of damaged pipelines are selected based on their ability to improve integrity, more research can be placed on repair materials that also prevent corrosion and act against environmental stressors. The goal of this paper is to study the current technology and present the repair materials that will prevent corrosion and enhance the integrity of pipelines. This study will identify effective repair materials by analyzing the chemical components, structural characteristics, and the use of simulation software to determine the maximum stress and pressure values in repaired pipes.
