Reinforcement pads in various shapes used in piping systems, showing how they fit around pipes for structural support and protection.

The Evolution of Reinforcement Pad Design in Industrial Piping

The evolution of reinforcement pad (Repad) design has significantly advanced industrial piping systems. Originally basic metal reinforcements, Repads now feature custom designs and high-performance materials like composite materials and advanced alloys for enhanced strength, corrosion resistance, and adaptability in various environments. With the integration of technologies such as Finite Element…

Corrosion Under Pipe Support (CUPS)

Corrosion Under Pipe Supports (CUPS) is a common and often overlooked issue in industrial piping systems, leading to significant structural damage and potential system failures. This type of corrosion occurs at the points where pipes rest on their supports, and is exacerbated by factors such as friction, trapped moisture, contact…
