Saddle Repair Clamp Compared With Full Encirclement Pipe Repair Clamp

Saddle repair clamp and full encirclement repair clamp are two mainstream pipeline quick repair products,with different applicable scenarios.Saddle repair clamp only covers the local leakage spot.It has lighter weight,lower material cost and faster installation speed.

Its limitation is obvious.It can only handle small pinholes and tiny cracks.When the damaged area is large or pipe wall has circumferential cracks,full encirclement clamps are required to provide overall hoop reinforcement.

Engineers can select the proper repair type according to defect range,pipe wall thickness and working pressure.Reasonable selection balances repair cost,construction efficiency and long term pipeline safety.
