Abstract
Ensuring the safe operation of pipe fittings in a natural gas station is critical. The irregular shape of the tee easily leads to uneven mechanical properties in the manufacturing process. The strength of the tee may be lower than the requirements due to its unqualified heat-treatment process. As a result, selecting a reliable way of repairing low-strength tee pipes is a pressing concern. To repair the low-strength tee pipes, a special-shaped epoxy steel sleeve (SSESS) was designed. To optimize the critical design parameters, the SSESS design criteria were established. Following that, the SSESS repair testing was conducted using the optimized design parameters. The SSESS repair reliability was proved using hydraulic burst testing with strain monitoring and simulations of unrepaired and SSESS repaired tees. The result indicated that the SSESS repaired tee’s yielding and burst pressure increased, demonstrating its repair reliability. Furthermore, the SSESS repair revealed the stress and strain concentration decrease law.
