Long Term Durability of Clock Spring Repairs – Recent Removals and Examinations
The Clock Spring repair system was the subject of a rigorous Research and Development
program conducted under the management of the Gas Research Institute (GRI). The
program extended over a decade and considered long term degradation.
As part of this program an extensive field validation program was required by the US
Department of Transportation. This requirement was added to verify the laboratory
experimental results and to provide and to validate the real world behaviour on actual
pipelines. Statistical sampling was required and a matrix of various soil types, location and
environmental conditions were created as the basis for the field validation study. The
results were published in the public report GRI 1998-0032. This peer reviewed report was
relied upon by the industry and regulators as the basis of documentation to suggest
amended code language for both liquid and natural gas pipeline which was subsequently
proposed and adopted in CFR 192 and 195.

Abstract of Papers (cont’d) :-
Over two decades of time has past since the GRI established the first steering committee of
industry experts to design the scope and methods of the investigations. Subsequently
several hundred thousand Clock Spring repairs have been made. Units have been installed
in many countries and in almost all conceivable environmental conditions.
The purpose of this paper is to document where various repairs have been taken out of
service and to document the subsequent investigations and findings in respect to the
condition and overall effectiveness of the repair.

Abstract
With over 20 years of commercial
experience and over 750,000 repairs
installed in over 72 countries the purpose of
this paper is to case study recent removals
of Clock Spring repairs from high pressure
pipelines and riser service and to
substantiate the original test and validation
data and acceptance of Clock Spring as a
permanent repair system.

History
Throughout the 10 year R+D program
topical reports were released by the GRI
for peer review and evaluation.
The GRI stated in 1998 “Several years ago
the research team proved the durability of
the Clock Spring product through
hydrostatic testing and accelerated
corrosion testing.”
![Page 19: Abstract of Papers:- - Online Portalportal.malaysiangas.com/document/publication/... · Abstract of Papers ... (B31.G, modified and effective area), class ... ASME 31.4 ASME 31.8](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051602/5ae3cdab7f8b9a0d7d8e1a4d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
History
“These laboratory predictions indicated that
Clock Spring can provide safe repairs
beyond 50 years. However to further verify
its performance required that repaired
sections remain buried for up to 7 years in
actual operating conditions.”
![Page 20: Abstract of Papers:- - Online Portalportal.malaysiangas.com/document/publication/... · Abstract of Papers ... (B31.G, modified and effective area), class ... ASME 31.4 ASME 31.8](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051602/5ae3cdab7f8b9a0d7d8e1a4d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
History
“Through this recent field based research
we confirmed repairs will last at least 50
years but we feel that most repairs will last
much longer.”

History
Following this work the DOT accepted the
use of alternative repair technologies for
high pressure oil and gas transmission
pipeline service providing the pipeline is
“repaired by a method that can permanently
restore the serviceability of the pipe as
shown by reliable engineering tests and
analyses.”

The Removals
CASE 3
Location: North America
Pipeline: 30” oil pipeline.
Initial repair: 1995 external corrosion and
potential reinforcement of SCC.
Removed in: 2010
![Page 56: Abstract of Papers:- - Online Portalportal.malaysiangas.com/document/publication/... · Abstract of Papers ... (B31.G, modified and effective area), class ... ASME 31.4 ASME 31.8](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051602/5ae3cdab7f8b9a0d7d8e1a4d/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
The Removals
Reason for removal:
Evaluation of performance of Clock Spring
repair.
Conclusion:
The unit had to be sand blasted and pry
bars used to remove the various layers of
the coil. The coil was well bonded within
each layer and to the carrier pipe.

Conclusion cont….
No evidence of any active corrosion, no
evidence of any cathodic disbondment or
cathodic shielding effects. After 15 years of
service the repair remained sound and
durable.

The Removals
CASE 4
Location: Middle East
Pipeline: 18” high pressure high
temperature oil riser in the splash zone.
Initial repair: 1997 external corrosion.
Removed in: 2006

The Removals
Reason for removal:
The riser was selected for shut down and
replacement and client decided to evaluate
the repair performance.
Conclusions:
The repair was well bonded to the riser and
very difficult and time consuming to remove.
After 9 years …….

Final preparation for UT inspection

Conclusions
Several more case studies are availableand reported in the correspondingtechnical paper.
- As part of the initial validation processthe US DOT required the GRI to conductlong term field validation.
![Page 66: Abstract of Papers:- - Online Portalportal.malaysiangas.com/document/publication/... · Abstract of Papers ... (B31.G, modified and effective area), class ... ASME 31.4 ASME 31.8](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051602/5ae3cdab7f8b9a0d7d8e1a4d/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
- This was conducted over a 7 yearperiod and was an integral part of theoverall permanent repair acceptanceand validation of the Clock Springproduct.
Conclusions
![Page 67: Abstract of Papers:- - Online Portalportal.malaysiangas.com/document/publication/... · Abstract of Papers ... (B31.G, modified and effective area), class ... ASME 31.4 ASME 31.8](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051602/5ae3cdab7f8b9a0d7d8e1a4d/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
- The findings in the above case studiesand removals of repairs with up to 15years operating service are consistentwith the original reported anddocumented long term testing asconducted in the 10 year GRI program.
Conclusions

Conclusions
- The operational history of the case
studied repairs shows the GRI made
sound technical decisions in terms
of the composite architecture used
and the constituent components
within the Clock Spring repair.

- The approvals attributed to the use of a
long term, tested composite repair
sleeves for reinforcement of corrosion
and mechanical damage on high
pressure pipeline and riser systems
has been validated.
