This presentation is a discussion of the new ASME PCC-2 repair standard code that is used to quantify the hoop and axial strength rehabilitation capabilities of composite repairs to process piping and vessels.  This code is used to provide design calculations to determine the suitability of repairs to comply with API 570, Addendum 4, Section 8.1.4 Repairs, Alterations, and Rerating of Piping Systems, Nonwelding Repairs.  This presentation addresses the repair of pipe work and pipelines originally designed in accordance with a variety of pipe standards, including ASME B31.1 / B31.3 / B31.4 / B31.8, and ISO 15649 and 13623.
