Biaxial Fiberglass Pipe Wrap for Texas Refineries
A Cost-Effective Pipe Repair Solution for Texas Refineries
As a refinery plant manager in Texas, you know pipe repair is a critical part of maintaining your operations. At Dragon Industrial Wrap, we offer biaxial fiberglass pipe wrap for Texas refineries, a practical and budget-friendly solution for tackling your specific pipe repair demands.
Our Texas company’s biaxial fiberglass pipe wrap system, Hydra Dragon®, reinforces weakened or damaged pipes to provide a durable repair for issues like localized corrosion, erosion, or mechanical damage. Hydra Dragon restores maximum allowable operating pressure without system shutdown. The unique structure of biaxial fiberglass, with two layers of fibers oriented at 45-degree angles, delivers exceptional strength and flexibility and is easily installed for effective application on various pipe sizes and shapes.
What Makes Hydra Dragon® a Superior Composite Pipe Wrap for Texas Refineries?
Hydra Dragon kits are a revolutionary solution for restoring pipelines to their full operating potential without interrupting your operations. Our advanced system uses a moisture-cured urethane resin infused into a biaxial fiberglass matrix for unparalleled strength and durability. The unique combination of materials and design ensures optimal performance, even in challenging environments.
At the core of the Hydra Dragon system is the biaxial fiberglass material, which provides exceptional reinforcement down the length and the circumference of the pipe. This material, in conjunction with the impregnated urethane resin, forms an exceptionally strong and resilient composite system that is stronger than steel. The result is a “pipe within a pipe” configuration, with each successive wrap increasing the overall pressure rating and minimizing creep for extended service life.
For repairs that require surface modifications, a high modulus filler can be added to the system to significantly increase its stiffness and resistance to deformation, which ensures a smooth and uniform application. This adaptability allows the Hydra Dragon system to address a wide range of pipeline issues, from corrosion to irregular shapes.
Prior to installation, each Hydra Dragon kit undergoes a comprehensive engineering assessment to determine the specific repair requirements for each pipeline. This includes analyzing such factors as the material the pipe is made of, how much thickness the pipe wall has lost, the temperature and pressure it operates under, and the surrounding environment it is exposed to. With our specialized software, the system calculates the precise number of wraps needed to restore the pipeline to its maximum allowable operating pressure.
