PowerWrap’s technology has been researched and tested internally by Air Logistics Corporation Engineers, PowerWrap, LP staff and augmented by credible and respected laboratories and test facilities recognized within the oil & gas industry. These laboratories and test facilities have played an instrumental role in the evaluation, verification and enhancement of products. A list of laboratories and test facilities that have been used and potentially utilized are as follows:

• Stress Engineering Services in Houston, Texas
• University of Wyoming Composites Research Lab
• Houston Metallurgical Laboratory in Houston, Texas
• University of California Pacific Earthquake Research Center, San Diego
• ATK Composites, Alliant Techsystems in San Diego, CA

In addition, ASME has amended their B31.4 piping code to include composites as a method to repair pipelines. This can be found in Section 451.6.2 of the 1998 edition of the B31.4 code. ASME has also formed a committee to set qualification standards for composites used to repair piping built under B31.1, B31.3, B31.4, and B31.8. It is currently available in print from ASME. 

Both of the these highly recognizable agencies have reviewed enough data on composites to allow them to be used. Through extensive research and design, Aquawrap® has been proven to be a reliable method for repairing external pipeline damage such as corrosion and dents.

Our Product is the Most Tested Composite Wrap on the market today.  Having in house testing equipment allows us to continually check the quality of our product so that it meets our standards. These tests are further qualified by destructive testing. Field tests have shown that using Aquawrap^® can restore piping with as much as 80% wall loss back to a condition to which its MAOP can be safely maintained. Pressures beyond MAOP and up to the SMYS of the piping can also be achieved when necessary.   

Please do not hesitate to request a copy of the 25 different tests that have been performed on the product for use on high pressure piping and concrete structures.  Various tests have been completed to qualify the material, some of which were: Tensile Strength, Tensile Modulus, Compressive Strength, Long Term Creep Testing, Interlaminar Shear.
