Field Service and Emergency Repair
Price Brothers Company offers its customers the assistance of experienced
Field Service Representatives. They are available for consultation before or during pipe installation, tapping lines while in or out of service, and assistance in the repair of damaged pipe sections occurring either during
installation or in operation.
Welded Joints
Under certain circumstances, it may be necessary to weld a joint in the
field. These circumstances may include thrust restraint or the repair of
joints. Other types of restrained joints (as shown here) are recommended for thrust restraint.
In addition, shop-welded joints can be provided for longer pipe lengths
when required. If it is necessary to field weld a joint, Price Brothers
Company technical representatives should be consulted.

Repair Saddles
If a lined cylinder pipe becomes damaged in the field and the damage is
confined to an area 12 inches in diameter or less, Price Brothers Company
maintains a stock of saddles that can be utilized to repair the damaged
pipe section. Special repair saddles for larger damaged areas on lined cylinder
pipe and for embedded cylinder pipe can be manufactured at your request.
Repair Sections
If the damage to an in-service pipe cannot be repaired by welding joints
or by use of a repair saddle, the damaged section of pipe must be replaced.
For further information on possible repair methods, refer to the Price
Brothers Company Emergency Repair Manual, available from your Price Brothers Representative.
