COMPOSITE WRAP FOR PIPE MONITORING AND REPAIR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18125546 titled 'COMPOSITE WRAP FOR PIPE MONITORING AND REPAIR

The abstract of the patent application describes a monitoring system that includes a primer layer, a composite wrap, and an electrode assembly. The primer layer surrounds a pipe to be monitored and is made of an electrically non-conductive adhesive material. The composite wrap, which contains an electrically conductive nanomaterial, wraps around the pipe over the primer layer. The electrode assembly is connected to the composite wrap and the electrically conductive nanomaterial to monitor the degradation of the composite wrap.

The monitoring system includes a primer layer made of an electrically non-conductive adhesive material.
A composite wrap with an electrically conductive nanomaterial dispersed throughout is used to wrap around the pipe.
An electrode assembly is coupled to the composite wrap to monitor the degradation of the composite wrap.

Potential Applications: - Monitoring the integrity of pipelines in various industries such as oil and gas, water, and chemical. - Detecting and preventing corrosion in pipes. - Ensuring the safety and reliability of critical infrastructure.

Problems Solved: - Provides a reliable and efficient way to monitor the degradation of composite wraps used in pipelines. - Helps prevent potential leaks and failures in pipelines. - Enhances the overall safety and longevity of pipelines.

Benefits: - Early detection of degradation in composite wraps. - Cost-effective monitoring solution for pipeline maintenance. - Improved safety and reliability of pipeline systems.

Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Pipeline Monitoring System for Enhanced Safety and Reliability This technology can be utilized in industries such as oil and gas, water management, and chemical processing for monitoring pipeline integrity. It can also be valuable for companies involved in pipeline maintenance and inspection services.

Questions about Pipeline Monitoring System: 1. How does the composite wrap with the electrically conductive nanomaterial help in monitoring pipeline degradation? 2. What are the potential cost savings for companies implementing this monitoring system?
