Description
The Pipe Sock™ system is a fiber-reinforced polymer designed to eliminate crevice corrosion problems caused by direct metal-to-metal contact. It consists of a pre-formed, size specific fiberglass wear pad and a specially formulated adhesive system that combines to form a resilient crevice corrosion solution. Additionally, it can withstand temperatures up to 250° F and provide complete fit-up integrity with the pipe, eliminating moisture penetration and condensation cavities.

1. Remove Pipe from Support Lift the corroded pipe off support or stanchion. |
|
2. Surface Inspection and Preparation Brush contact surface with a wire brush and lightly abrade with sandpaper to remove loose dirt and scale. Inspect the area and repair any anomalies, as required. |
|
3. Apply Black Magic Remove release liner from the PipeSock™ and apply Black Magic™adhesive to the inside of the PipeSock™. |
|
4. Install PipeSock™ and Reposition Pipe Carefully position the PipeSock™ on the pipe. Then, lower the pipe on to the support. Taper any excess material with a putty knife. |
