Rapp-it is suitable for use on sterilization systems including stainless steel steam pipes that are used to quarantine waste. However, sometimes abrasive materials can contaminate the steam which can impact the integrity of the pipe.
SCOPE
The customer had a crack at the crimped joint on a steam pipe. The pipe required an urgent repair, otherwise an approximate six hour unplanned shutdown maintenance was required. This would have cost the customer thousands of dollars in unnecessary downtime.
SOLUTION
The customer cleaned and filed the damaged area. Rapp-it Steel Putty was then applied over the crack and a Rapp-it Pipe Repair Bandage (50mm x 3.6m) was applied over the damaged area. This allowed the pipe to be back up and running at full capacity in short amount of time.
