What is the pressure rating for pipes that can be patched using an E.W.A.R.P?

The pressure rating for pipes that can be patched using an Emergency Water Activated Repair Patch (E.W.A.R.P) is indeed 150 psi. This specific rating is significant because E.W.A.R.P is designed for emergency repairs on pipes carrying water or other fluids under pressure. Knowing that the patch is rated for up to 150 psi allows personnel to adequately assess situations where such repairs might be necessary, ensuring the patch will hold under the expected operational conditions.

This rating also highlights the capability of the E.W.A.R.P to deal with typical pressures that might be found in various systems aboard vessels, including firefighting systems and other vital plumbing infrastructure. Understanding this specification is crucial for effective damage control, ensuring that repairs made will be robust enough to prevent leaks or further failures while allowing the system to continue functioning temporarily until a more permanent repair can be accomplished.
