4. STORAGE AND SAFETY GUIDELINES

To ensure the maximum product performance, store Covalence heat shrinkable products and
epoxy primer in a dry, ventilated area. Keep the products in the original packaging and avoid
exposure to direct sunlight, rain, snow, dust, grease or other contaminants.
Avoid long-term storage at temperatures above 50°C or below –20°C.
The contractor is responsible to ensure that the installers are well equipped for safety in
accordance with local regulations, such as heat resistant gloves, safety glasses, etc.
Epoxy primers should be used in a ventilated area, following the safety instructions included in
the Material Safety Datasheet

5. BEVELLING OF POLYETHYLENE LINE COATING EDGES

If not factory beveled, bevel the line coating edges on both sides of the weld bead to
approximately 15°.

The ends of existing mill coating shall be inspected.


Unbonded portions of the coating shall be removed and then suitably trimmed.
Portions where parent coating is removed shall be thoroughly beveled, and cleaned as specified.

6. SURFACE PREPARATION

 Prior to the commencement of the surface preparation for the field joint coating
operations, a visual inspection shall be performed on the field joint coating area in order
to verify that there are no steel defects or contamination with oil, grease, soil, dirt or other
similar contaminants.

 All weld spatter, weld slag, sharp edges, etc. shall be removed from the field joint coating
area prior to surface preparation, without compromising the specified requirement for the
pipe wall thickness.

 Clean exposed steel area and 100mm of the adjacent line pipe coating that will be
covered by the HTLP80 sleeve from all dust, dirt, moisture, grease or other
contaminations. If necessary, use a non-contaminating solvent such as Xylene or
equivalent.

 Check the dew point and temperature of the steel. It shall be at least 50C above the dew
point

 Using clean grit or garnet or Sand, blast clean only the bare steel part of the girth weld
area to SA 2½ (near white metal) to a roughness profile (anchor pattern) between 50 to
100 microns.

 Sweep blast adjacent PE line coating to create a rough surface for a width of about
25mm wider than the sleeve on each side of the weld.

 Remove carefully all remaining abrasive dust and loose particles after blast cleaning.

AG-COVALENCE-HTLP80-S1401M - SWCC 7
 The surface profile shall be checked using Press “O” film with micrometer. The anchor
profile shall be between 50-100 microns.

 Check salt level on the blast cleaned surface. It shall be <4µgm/cm2

 Engineer In-charge or his representative shall visually examine the joint surface area
after blasting and shall ensure that all defects, faults and other damages have been
repaired or removed.

The total elapsed time between the start of blasting of pipe and the heating of that pipe to the
specified temperature shall not exceed the following time-Humidity table:

Percent Relative Humidity (Elapsed time Hours)


(%)
85 0.5
80 1.0
70 1.5
60 1.75
50 2.0

Any pipe surface not processed within the above time-humidity table shall be completely re
cleaned and reblasted before coating..

7. CUTTING OF COVALENCE HTLP80 SLEEVE CORNERS

sleeve around the joint.
15 mm

Underlaying end 50 mm

AG-COVALENCE-HTLP80-S1401M - SWCC 8
8. S1401M EPOXY MIXING

Dispense the recommended amount of S1401M Part A and Part B from bulk drums into a mixing
cup. The epoxy should be dispensed and mixed at a temperature between 25ºC and 50ºC

 If the temperature of the drums is below 25°C, warm them in a heated cab of a truck, in
an oven, or by placing the drum in hot water.

 Do not attempt to mix and apply S1401-M if Part „A‟ is below 25°C, as the viscosity of the
material will cause pumping problems.

 Begin mixing slowly using a hand-held mixing stick for approximately one min.

 Care shall be taken when mixing near to the surface in order to prevent the introduction
of air into the coating.

9. PREHEATING OF GIRTH WELD PRIOR TO S1401M PRIMER APPLICATION

 Make sure that all necessary items are in close proximity before you start.

 In windy conditions where it is difficult to control the direction of the flame a windshield, or
during rain, a ventilated tent should be used to assist in the application of the coating.

 Preheat by flame the joint area to 60-70°C.

 To avoid epoxy fumes avoid preheating the steel higher than 90°C.Check the
temperature using a digital pyrometer with a flat temperature sensor.

10. EPOXY COATING OF GIRTH WELD AREA

 Apply the mixed S1401M epoxy to the bare steel girth weld area using approved
application pad.

 Epoxy should not be applied onto the adjacent PE line coating.

 The epoxy applied to the steel should be to a wet film thickness of minimum 200 microns
in order to ensure a minimum DFT of 150 microns

 Wet film thickness shall be checked regularly with a wet film gauge at four locations / 3
o‟clock, 6 o‟clock, 9 o‟clock and 12 o‟clock position.

 Epoxy pump mixing ratio must be calibrated and checked by weight and volume every
morning before startup of the application.

11. HTLP80 SLEEVE APPLICATION

 After epoxy application, reheat the adjacent PE line coating to 80-900C if necessary.

 Wrap the HTLP80 sleeve centrally around the epoxied girth weld.

AG-COVALENCE-HTLP80-S1401M - SWCC 9
 Position the leading edge of the sleeve (the one with the cut corners) on the pipe
between the 12 and 2 O'clock position.

 Wrap the shrink sleeve around the joint leaving a small gap between the bottom of the
joint and the sleeve as indicated below.

Pipe size / DN Gap size in mm


DN 100 to DN 250 / 4-10 Inch From 10 mm to 30 mm
DN 250 to DN 950 / 10-38 inch From 30 mm to 60 mm
DN 1000 to DN 1600 / 40-64 inch From 60 mm to 90 mm

 Sleeve overlap onto itself should be minimum 50 mm.

 In case of separate closure patch, apply the closure patch centrally over sleeve overlap
area.
 While heating press down and smooth the closure patch with a gloved hand to ensure
good bonding and eliminate air entrapment.

 Adjust the gas torch flame length to approximately 500 mm to produce a yellow flame at
the end. Using the yellow portion of the flame, the closure shall be heated evenly until the
pattern of the fabric reinforcement is visible. The closure shall then be patted down with
gloved hand and any wrinkles shall be smoothened by gently working them outward from
the center of the closure.

 Using a torch heating start shrinking at the center of the sleeve and move
circumferentially around the pipe towards one end, using a constant paintbrush motion.

 Restart at the center and shrink sleeve towards the other end.

 Alternatively, shrinking may be started from one end and continued to the other end of
the sleeve.

 During shrink-down, adhesive flow shall be occasionally checked with finger.


 Wrinkles should disappear automatically.

 The embossed pattern on the sleeve backing (PCI – Permanent Change Indicator)
should disappear and a smooth backing profile should be seen as illustrated below :

Dimples still visible = Requires Smooth profile = O.K


More Heating

AG-COVALENCE-HTLP80-S1401M - SWCC 10
12. HTLP80 SLEEVE POSTHEATING AND WELD BEAD TAPE INSTALATION:

 Immediately after the sleeve has been fully shrunk, post heat the sleeve area
overlapping the polyethylene line coating well with the torch until it passes the
finger test as indicated below.

 It is recommended to conduct the finger test at the 6 o‟clock position as well and
at the under lap area.

Adhesive not bonded yet = More heat Adhesive does bond = OK

 After post heating and while the adhesive is still liquid, roll the closure patch area well
with a silicone hand roller to remove any air voids if necessary.

 If the adhesive is too viscous and rolling becomes difficult, reheat the area again.

 Wrap a 2” wide TWDB tape over the weld bead overlapping itself by 3” and leaving a
1” gap between the tape and the installed shrink sleeve surface at the bottom.

 Install the TWDB closure patch on the overlap area.

 Shrink the tape by small light yellow flame.

 Roll it to eliminate any air entrapment.

13. INSPECTION AND TESTING OF INSTALLED SLEEVE:

Inspection of the installed sleeve shall only be done after the cool down of the sleeve and the
substrate to ambient temperature. The sleeve shall be visually inspected for the following points:

13.1 VISUAL INSPECTION

13.2 COATING THICKNESS TEST:

 The thickness of the cooled, field joint coating shall be checked using an approved type
thickness gauge.

 Measurements shall be made as follows:


• 4 readings of the installed sleeve thickness shall be taken, 1 each at the 12, 3, 6
and 9 O‟Clock positions of the installed shrink sleeves on the main body of the
pipe away from the girth weld and the closure patch.
• 4 readings of the installed sleeve thickness shall be taken, 1 each at the 12, 3, 6
and 9 O‟Clock, over the weld bead but not on the closure patch.

 The average of each of the four readings shall result in an average min. thickness of 3.25
mm and no individual reading shall be less than 3.0 mm.

 A sleeve which does not meet the above thickness requirements shall be rejected and
replaced.

13.3 HOLIDAY DETECTION TEST

 After complete cooldown, holiday testing shall be conducted.

 Holiday inspection shall be done using a voltage setting of 25 KV with a full


encirclement contact electrode for every joint.

13.4 ADHESION (PEEL) STRENGTH TEST

 One out of every 50 sleeves, or alternatively one out of a two day‟s production
whichever is lower, shall be subjected to a manual peel test.

 Peel strength inspection shall be done at a sleeve temperature of up to 40° C; both


the substrate and the sleeve shall be at this temperature.

 Strips of 25 mm x 200 mm shall be cut perpendicular to the pipe axis, either at 9 or 3


o'clock position as per DIN 30672 halfway between the circumferential weld bead and
the line coating and the line coating.

screwdriver, make sure that the initial adhesive bond line cut is essentially centered
within the adhesive layer.

AG-COVALENCE-HTLP80-S1401M - SWCC 12
 Attach the peel gauge to the leading edge of the test strip and fasten clamp.

 Holding the test gauge with both hands exert a steady force with a pulling speed of
approximately 100 mm/min, and an angle of 90° to the circumference of the pipe.

 At this point the peel strength shall be greater than 30N/cm, and the bulk of the
adhesive shall remain on the epoxied pipe.

13.5 AIR VOID TEST

 Window testing can be carried out on one sleeve out of 100 sleeves

 Window testing shall be done at a sleeve temperature of 23° C; both sleeve and
substrate shall be at this temperature.

 On each sleeve tested, at least one window each shall be cut in the patch overlap
area, across the field girth weld, and in the body of the sleeve.

 There shall be no evidence either of voids extending to bare metal or areas of no


adhesive wetting.

 If any defects are found, their extent shall be determined, if necessary by removing
the entire sleeve backing.

 The sleeve installation shall be acceptable if both of the following requirements are
met:
o The maximum dimension of voids extending to bare metal does not exceed 50
mm.

14. HEAT SHRINKABLE SLEEVE REPAIR PROCEDURE

Sleeves damaged during adhesion testing shall be repaired as follows.

 Cut repair patch from a roll of PERP, approximately 50mm larger in each direction than
the area to be repaired.

AG-COVALENCE-HTLP80-S1401M - SWCC 13
 Lightly abrade the area all around the damage with a scotch brite pad or fine abrasive
paper.

 If damage is deep down to the steel, the void area should be filled with S1137 filler
mastic.

 Abrade area extending at least 25mm beyond the area to be covered by the PERP repair
patch.
 Preheat the damaged area with a propane torch with a gentle flame to 70C to 90°C.

Elevated Temperature Cathodic Disbondment Tests

1.0 INTRODUCTION
At the request of Katrien Masschelein of Seal for Life Industries BVBA, Exova Salford was instructed to
perform 28 days cathodic disbondment tests at 23°C and 80°C, on samples of Covalence HTLP80/C 3 layer
heat shrink sleeve material.

First Layer: Solvent free two component Liquid Epoxy


Second Layer: High shear strength copolymer adhesive
Third Layer: Radiation cross-linked, high density polyethylene with PCI - Permanent Change Indicator

Testing was performed in accordance with client requirements and general accordance with BS EN ISO
21809-3 Annex H.

The tests were performed using cut specimens in which an artificial defect (holiday) of defined size (6mm)
was drilled.

The test consisted of assessing the resistance to disbondment of damage to the inner coating layer when
exposed to cathodic polarisation. Test details are shown below in table 1:

Elevated Temperature Cathodic Disbondment Tests

3.0 TEST METHOD


A 6mm diameter artificial holiday was introduced to the surface of each test ring, exposing the steel
substrate.

An acrylic pot with internal diameter 50mm was affixed over the artificial holiday using silicone sealant.

The 23°C test was performed in a temperature controlled laboratory, whilst the 80°C test was performed
within an oven. The air temperature was maintained at the test temperature ±2°C for the duration of the test.

The specimens and electrolyte were preheated to the test temperature prior to beginning the test.

The test cells were filled with the electrolyte (3% NaCl solution in laboratory purified water) to a height of
≥70mm.

Cathodic protection was applied to the test specimens by means of an impressed current from a stabilised
DC source using a platinum electrode and linked backed to the unit by a Silver/Silver chloride (AG/AgCL/4 M
KCL) reference electrode.

Exova Salford use Silver/Silver chloride (AG/AgCL/4 M KCL) reference electrodes on H & S grounds. The
applied negative voltage in the test cell with respect to a Calomel reference electrode was therefore adjusted
for an AG/AgCL/4 M KCL reference electrode at the defined test temperature.

The potential within the cell was set and maintained. The voltage, electrolyte temperature, current applied
and electrolyte pH were checked daily.

The level of the electrolyte was also checked daily and topped up with deionised water as required.

Photographs of the specimens taken during the tests are shown in figure 2.

Elevated Temperature Cathodic Disbondment Tests

• Specimen preparation: Holiday drilled with 6mm drill, cell attached with silicone sealant.
• Specimen type & dimensions: ~100mm long 115mm dia ring of coating on steel substrate.
• Electrolytic cell: Clear plastic tube ~ 50 mm internal diameter.
.
• Electrolyte: 3% NaCl solution in laboratory purified water
• Auxiliary electrode: Platinum wire 0.8mm dia.
• Reference electrode: Silver/Silver Chloride (Ag/AgCl/4 M KCL).
• Applied Voltage in electrolytic cell:23°C test -1.5V = -1.451V, 80°C test = -1.5V = -1.412V.
• Test temperature: 23±2°C and 80±2°C
• Test duration: 28 Days.
• Number of specimens: 1 at each temperature.

Inspection procedure
On completion of the test period the electrolytic cell and plastic tube were removed. The specimens was
rinsed in tap water and patted dry with paper towel.

12 radial incisions (~30° from each other) were made using a sharp Stanley knife through the coating to the
substrate, extending outwards from the holiday.

The knife point was inserted into the centre portion of the holiday down to the metal substrate. Using a
gentle levering action a radial section of the coating was slowly peeled away. This process was repeated for
each radial segment.

Digital callipers were used to measure the disbonded distance from the edge of the original holiday along
each radial cut (to the point where residual coating was visible within the blast profile) and the average
values calculated.

4.0 TEST EQUIPMENT


Cathodic protection was applied by means of an impressed current from a stabilised DC source (Top hex
cathodic Disbondment tester CLCU08 traceable to national standards), using a platinum electrode and
linked back to the unit by an Ag/AgCl reference electrode.

Temperature measuring equipment CLDT02 & CLTC 21 traceable to national standards were used to
monitor test temperatures.

Digital caliper C38 traceable to national standards was used to determine the disbondment radius around
the holiday.

Notes
The disbondment radius column gives the distance from the edge of the holiday to the point where residual
coating was noted in the blast profile.

For the 80°C test a darkened area (halo) was noted, starting from just beyond the residual coating ring. The
distance from the edge of the holiday to the outer edge of the darkened area has therefore also been
reported for informative purposes.

IV - Rahchem HTLP Heat-Shrink Sleeve with Primer-Activated Adhesive

APPROVED INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1. Surface Preparation
The bare steel girth weld area and the adjacent pipe coating that will be covered
by the heat-shrink sleeve shall be prepared in accordance with the following
Saudi Aramco standards:
SAES-H-204 Applying Heat-Shrink Sleeves to Coated Pipes
SAES-H-002 High Temperature Heat-Shrink Sleeves
APCS-111 Primarily for Use on Polyethylene Coated
Pipe and FBE Coated Pipe up to 80°C
The adjacent pipe coating that will be covered by the heat-shrink sleeve shall be
de-glossed (abraded) by brush blasting, sanding, or power wire brushing.
2. Heating Requirements
Just prior to installing heat-shrink sleeve/primer. Preheat the entire bare steel
surface and adjacent coating to minimum 60°C (140 °F) maximum 90°C
(195°F) using propane gas torches.
3. Application Requirements
The 2 component primer shall be thoroughly mixed and applied to the bare steel
and adjacent abraded mill coating. If required, apply high temperature filler
mastic (S1113) adjacent to the weld bead before applying primer.
Wrap sleeve centrally around the weld joint insuring that adjacent coating is
overlapped by a minimum of at least 50 mm (2"). Sleeve overlap shall be not
less than 6 inches.
Apply primer between overlapped layers before closing overlap.
Remove release paper from the pressure sensitive adhesive strips of the closure
patch and press in position centering over the exposed sheet end.
Use a propane torch, type Raychem FH 2601 to heat the closure patch evenly
until the temperature sensitive paint changes color. Do not overheat, as this can
cause premature shrinkage of the sleeve.
With a gloved hand, smooth the closure patch to eliminate possible entrapped air
and ensure good bonding.
To shrink the sleeve, use 2 Raychem FH 2601 torches for pipe diameters above
16 inches, continuously move the torch in a paint brush motion circumferentially

VI - Raychem PERP 80 Heat-Shrink Repair Patches


(For Temperatures Up to 80°C)

APPROVED INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1. Surface Preparation
Cut out the damaged polyethylene coating or heat-shrink sleeve, leaving only
well-adhered coating. Make sure all sharp edges, cuts, and tears are removed.
Feather (chamfer) the coating transition to an angle of approximately 45 degrees
to prevent air entrapment during the application of the repair material. Clean all
bare steel in the damaged area to near white metal, Sa 2-1/2, by abrasive blasting
or with clean emery paper.
Exception:
If the damaged area has well bonded adhesive covering the steel surface, it is not
necessary to remove it. It is only necessary to remove any foreign matter from
the adhesive.
Remove the gloss of adjacent sound coating that shall be covered by the PERP
80 patch by brush blasting, sanding or power wire brushing.
2. Application Requirements
Prior to preheating, cut the PERP 80 patch so that it will extend at least 50 mm
beyond the damaged area in all directions. Round off all patch corners.
If filler mastic is required, cut the PERP-FILLER so that it fits the damaged
area.
Preheat the exposed steel surface and the adjacent coating to a temperature in
the range of 60 - 80°C.
Immediately after the area has been preheated, apply the PERP-FILLER mastic
to the damaged area. Lightly flame brush the mastic to soften it and then
smooth it down with a hot paint scraper.
Check that the temperature of the area to be covered by the PERP 80 patch is
still in the range of 60 - 80°C and reheat the area if necessary.
Flame brush the adhesive side of the PERP 80 patch with a propane torch until
the adhesive appears slightly "wet" and then immediately place the patch over
the damaged area so that it overlaps the sound coating by at least 50 mm in all
directions.
Heat the PERP 80 patch with a medium flame from a propane gas torch.
3. Removal of Entrapped Air

Document Responsibility: Paints and Coatings SAES-H-204
Issue Date: 29 June 2005 General Specifications and Application
Next Planned Update: 1 July 2010 Procedures of Heat-Shrink Sleeves to Coated Pipe

Any entrapped air shall be removed by using a hand roller. This should be done
as the polyethylene backing begins to soften and conform to the profile of the
pipe.
Be careful not to roll the repair area too heavily as this may push out some of the
mastic from the area to be filled. Apply intermittent heating during rolling until
a small bead of adhesive is clearly visible all around the edge of the patch.
3. Handling
Allow the repaired area to cool to at least 60°C prior to handling the pipe.
4. Inspection
Inspection shall be per the requirements in SAES-H-204.

Approval Date: October 12, 1996
