Abstract:
A magnetically detectable composite structural reinforcement device to be applied to a structural member in a plurality of overlying layers, comprisinga first elongate generally planar ply formed of a high tensile strength material impregnated with a curable resin, said first ply having a longitudinal axis and first and second edges; a second elongate generally planar ply formed of a high tensile strength material impregnated with a curable resin, said second elongate ply having a longitudinal axis and first and second edges, said second ply disposed in overlying relation to said first ply with said longitudinal axes and said edges of said plies in alignment; and an elongate generally planar detectable ply formed of magnetically detectable material, said detectable ply having a longitudinal axis and first and second edges, said detectable ply disposed and interconnected between said first and second plies with said first and second edges of said detectable ply in mutual alignment with said first and second edges of said first and second plies; said plies bonded together to form a continuous elongate body having a longitudinal axis parallel to said longitudinal axes of said plies, having an upper face and a lower face, and having first and second edges, said body being magnetically detectable by a pipeline structural integrity monitoring device.
