Weld-on Solutions For Pipeline Reinforcement
Steel repair sleeves are welded over damaged pipe sections to restore strength and prevent leaks, offering a long-lasting and economical solution in harsh industrial environments.
Steel Repair Sleeves are welded pipe reinforcement components designed to restore the structural integrity of corroded, eroded, or thinning pipelines. These sleeves, typically fabricated from carbon steel, alloy steel, or stainless steel (e.g., 316L, 310S), are semi-cylindrical in shape and applied over the external surface of existing pipes. Once welded in place, they act as a durable barrier to external and internal damage.
Steel repair sleeves are widely used in industries such as power generation, oil & gas, chemical processing, and mining, where pipeline integrity is essential for safe and continuous operation. By reinforcing critical pipe sections without requiring full line replacement, they save significant time and cost while enhancing system reliability.
These sleeves are fully customizable to match specific pipe diameters, wall thicknesses, and operating conditions—including high pressure and high temperature environments.
