| Objectives | Further advancing development of the product brand name Duraseal, manufactured by Enduratec, to gain approval for use as a joint repair method for metallic mains operating at low or medium pressure with diameters <=18, currently approved for use only on above ground metallic small diameter pipework screwed joints.ROSEN UK (Rosen) will support Cadent and WWU with qualification of self-amalgamating tape as a recognised metallic joint repair method that can be buried by completing a series of tests including Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA), Laboratory tests and field trials referencing and complying with existing standard and policies and where applicable additional testing will be incorporated The scope of the project is to:1) Define and validate the test work scope including a detailed FMEA2) Undertake component level testing3) Undertake Repair level testing 4) Undertake long term performance testing5) Complete field trials Perform Failure Mode Effects Analysis to identify potential failure modes of the proposed system components Perform component level testing Perform system performance testing to GIS/LC1 for ferrous pipe systems Perform long term performance testing according to agreed scope Develop and submit a G/23 to gain approval for field trial use Undertake a series of field trials to assess self-amalgamating tape performance as a permanent repair for a range of applications to varying joint types on metallic mains in the diameter range 4 to 18 operating at pressure ranges Low to Medium Approval of self-amalgamating tape as a recognised repair method for joints on metallic mains as above | |
| Abstract | Further advancing development of the product brand name Duraseal, manufactured by Enduratec, to gain approval for use as a joint repair method for metallic mains operating at low or medium pressure with diameters <=18, currently approved for use only on above ground metallic small diameter pipework screwed joints.ROSEN UK (Rosen) will support Cadent and WWU with qualification of self-amalgamating tape as a recognised metallic joint repair method that can be buried by completing a series of tests including Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA), Laboratory tests and field trials referencing and complying with existing standard and policies and where applicable additional testing will be incorporated. | |
