CONE-COMPOSITE sleeves repair provides for:

• The restoration of the bearing capacity of the section with defects up to the level of a defectfree
pipe;
• Leak tightness of the repaired section for the remaining operating life of the pipeline.

Repair using CONE-COMPOSITE sleeves is classified as an overhaul repair method of pipelines.

Principle of operation

Clearances, including a clearance between the pipeline and the composite sleeve, are made leak proof by means of a pressing force created when the cone shell ring is pulled on the sleeve which is also conical. High-strength characteristics of the material of the composite sleeve and polymerizable bonding paste used during the assembly of the CCS, ensure that the load from the defective area of the pipe is completely transferred to the composite shell ring which provides for the restoration of its bearing capacity up to the level of a defect-free pipe and boosts the operating reliability of the pipeline in general.

Repair using CONE-COMPOSITE sleeves is classified as an overhaul repair method of pipelines.

The CONE-COMPOSITE sleeves has two modifications: Cone-Composite  and Cone-Composite Plus

	Cone-Composite		Cone-Composite Plus	Clamp Lock
	The internal surface is aligned with the external surface of the pipeline under repair.		The internal surface has a groove whose form and dimension align with the external surface of the Clamp Lock Sleeve.

Intended use of the CONE-COMPOSITE sleeves

CONE-COMPOSITE sleeves are designed for:

• Repairing non-through defects of steel above-ground, underground and underwater pipelines with a diameter of 50 ÷ 1 420 mm, an operating pressure of ≤ 10 MPa operated at a temperature ranging from - 60 °C to + 450 °C;
• Reinforcing metal in sections with unacceptable installations on the pipeline surface which are to be eliminated with the regular repair method (in such a case, the CCS Cone Composite can be installed as an alternative to coil replacing);
• Reinforcing metal in the area of pipeline circular weld joints, including at the stage of their construction;
• Repairing defects of non-metal pipelines.

Intended use of the CONE-COMPOSITE PLUS sleeves

 Cone-Composite Plus sleeves are designed for:

• Repairing through defects of pipeline sections, including non-metal ones, of any design with the maximum internal operating pressure of ≤ 10 MPA which were preliminary eliminated with the use of Clamp Lock sealing sleeves;
• Sealing steel pipelines in the weld adjacent zones of vertical welding joints.

Technical description of the CONE-COMPOSITE sleeve

The cone composite sleeve Cone-Composite contains the composite sleeve 2 (which is installed
on the pipeline 1) with a cylindrical internal surface corresponding to the diameter of the pipeline and
the shell ring 3 which can be installed as follows: its internal surface is installed on the relevant external
surface of the composite sleeve.

The sleeve 2 is made from a composite material which is good in compression and ensures that the radial load from the defect area is transferred to the shell ring which is also made from a composite material which is bad in expanding and has an elasticity modulus of at least 130 hPa, with this value being as near as possible to the elasticity modulus of pipe steels, but for composites.

The external surface of the composite sleeve 2, as well as the external and internal surfaces of the shell ring 3, are all conical. The composite sleeve 2 is comprised of two components parts 2a and 2b which are interconnected during the assembly of the pipeline 1 with the defect 4.
