Revolutionising the Industry: TFG Group’s AS2885 Certified Type B Repair Sleeves
In an unprecedented collaboration with a major Australian gas company, TFG Group proudly introduces a groundbreaking achievement – a first of its kind Australian-designed, standardised AS2885 compliant Type B Repair Sleeve. This innovative product has earned full certification, meeting the stringent AS2885 standards. TFG’s commitment to delivering authentic Australian solutions has led to the creation of a product that fills a longstanding void in the market.
Seizing the Opportunity
TFG Group, in its pursuit of excellence, identified a unique market opportunity by recognising the demand for an Australian-manufactured Type B Repair Sleeve. Historically, the market offered only ASME B31.8 and ASME PPC-2 sleeves, which fell short in supporting the overall integrity of the pipeline. This innovation marks a turning point, providing clients with a solution that not only complies with both Australian and international standards but also resonates with the local industry’s specific needs.
Addressing Historical Shortcomings
The prevalent availability of ASME B31.8 and ASME PPC-2 sleeves underscored a gap in the market. These alternatives lacked the tailored approach required for the nuances of the Australian and New Zealand oil and gas sector. TFG’s proactive stance in addressing this issue reflects its commitment to pioneering solutions that enhance the industry’s overall integrity.

Collaboration with both a major oil & gas company and engineering firms serves as a testament to TFG’s dedication to innovation and client-centric solutions.
