What is Armor Plate?

Armor Plate® Pipe Wrap is a composite repair system that is used to repair corroded and mechanically damaged pipelines without depressurization. Armor Plate® Pipe Wrap uses specially designed Armor Fiber®. Armor Plate® Pipe Wrap is installed by certified and trained installers. Armor Plate® Pipe Wrap accommodates any pipe size configuration. Armor Plate® Pipe Wrap is available in 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 square foot kits. Armor Plate® Pipe Wrap is the most engineer tested pipe wrap in the world.


Repair Capabilities

APPW is a wet layup system which has the advantage of being applied to a multitude of pipe configurations such as: wrinkle bends, tees, branch connections, nozzles, fittings, straight pipe, elbows, risers, encapsulating flanges, soil interface, dents, gouges, mechanical defects, pitting, sweating pipe, encapsulating steel sleeves, reducers, and small to large pipe diameters.

We are asked frequently what the capabilities are of the APPW system and the answer is “almost limitless”. We offer 4 systems for most any environment: AP360 MP (Multipurpose), AP 360 UW (Underwater), AP 360 HT (High Temperature.), AP 360 ZED (Cold Temperature.)
