Leak Repair
Excessive corrosion, erosion, vibration or thermal stress can cause leaks to develop in a piping system. The leaks may occur in straight pipe, elbows, miter bends, tees, or at flanges or valves. In other instances, thinned areas of piping may be found during routine inspections required by API 570. That's where we come in! MPR can provide a long or short term, reliable repair such as a leak repair clamp or enclosure. We have the experience & the capabilities to design, fabricate & install such a repair clamp & contain your leak until a conventional repair can be performed.
Midwest Pipe Repair™ provides non-destructive, on-line leak repair services for steam, condensate, process, water, or air leaks. MPR can also repair oil leaks on electric transformers. Most transformer repairs on cover plates, fittings, welds & cooling fins can be done while equipment is energized. Our sealant has very good dielectric properties, & in most cases there is no need to drain the transformer in order to complete these repairs. All of the above mentioned repairs are made at temperatures ranging from cryogenic to 1800°F, and pressures from vacuum to 6000 psig. All hardware and clamps are designed and built to all applicable pipe codes and specifications. Our design team has over 20 years of experience in designing both standard and job specific leak repair clamps and enclosures. All design packages are available upon request to our customers. Extensive R&D has gone into the sealant and valve packing compounds that are utilized by our field technicians. Sealant and packing compounds are compatible with a multitude of services such as steam, water, air, HF & sulfuric acid, condensate, chlorine, ammonia plus many more. MSDS sheets are on hand and available for customer review and approval.
Midwest Pipe Repair™ can respond on a routine or emergency basis and in a lot of instances we stock more commonly used clamps or enclosures for a quick turnaround.
