I think this is more of a vendor dependant thing than a calculation per se.

What are you trying to calculate exactly and why?

Composite wrap is only for non through wall thickness corrosion.
 
I will suggest you to look to the book ; Rehabilitation of Pipelines Using Fiber-reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composites by Vistasp M. Karbhari

If you write ' Rehabilitation of Pipelines composite ' and search the web some of the outcomes ;
www.compositerepair.org : there are useful articles at this site

 
See the latest PCC-2. There are entire Chapters/Articles devoted to temp pipe wrap design.

There were some perforations pin-hole leaks in piping and to calculate number of wraps depending what wrap it is ....
 
AFAIK, composite wreaks are not designed for through wall defects.

You needs a metallic clamp or sleevev. Or cut put.
