Armor Plate® Pipe Wrap (APPW) is a composite structural pipeline repair system. APPW has been engineered and tested; it is recognized by Department of Transportation (DOT) as the model for composite repairs. APPW is designed to repair pipelines while in service without depressurizing or lowering the Maximum Allowable Operating Pressure (MAOP). APPW is a 3-part system specially designed for repairing straight pipe, elbows, tees, risers, reducers and most any pipe configuration with external corrosion or mechanical damage. The AP 360MP System has been tested and is designed for operating environments ranging from -60º F to 195º F (-51º C to 91º C). The AP 360 MP System contains Resin A & B, Putty A & B, Armor Fiber and all necessary equipment for application in the field. The APPW System is recognized by DOT as a permanent repair product.
