ISO 24817 and ASME PCC-2 Part 4 are standards for composite wrap repair of pressurized pipelines. ISO 24817 uses a performance-based design that allows thinner, optimized repairs based on material testing, while ASME PCC-2 applies stricter safety factors, resulting in thicker and more conservative designs. In practice, ISO is typically used for moderate wall loss

Pipeline ovality is a critical factor in determining whether line stopping can be performed safely under API 570. In practice, ovality above 3% reduces folding-plug sealing effectiveness, while ovality above 5% is typically unacceptable. This guide explains allowable limits, inspection methods, failure mechanisms, and how to decide whether to proceed, compensate, or reject line stopping.

Piggyback line stopping requires diverting 85–95% of total flow through a bypass to keep annular velocity below 2.5 m/s. The required bypass flow is calculated using Q_bypass = Q_total − (V_allow × A_gap). If bypass is undersized, annular velocity can exceed 4–10 m/s, causing severe vibration and rapid stopping bar failure. Quick Calculation Box Bypass

The minimum required wall thickness for in-service subsea hot tapping is defined by DNV-RP-F113 as the larger value between burst thickness (governed by internal pressure) and collapse thickness (governed by external hydrostatic pressure), after subtracting corrosion allowance. In deepwater conditions exceeding 700 meters, collapse pressure resistance typically governs the calculation. This guide provides step-by-step calculation
