Long-term protection of the pipeline steel surfaces from corrosion. Compatibility with cathodic protection.
INSTALLING A COATED PIPELINE IN THE TRENCH
Pipelines have joints because they are fabricated from 40 and 80 coated pipe sections. High pressure pipelines require a girth weld at each field joint.

Coldapplied tapes are prefabricated materials made from a polymer backing attached to an adhesive film. Some may also use a liquid primer. Petroleum wax Polyethylene (PE) PE/PP blends

HDPE tapes are compatible with most pipeline coatings in current use.

Heat-shrink products are made from specially-processed PE or PP that will shrink when heated. The reverse side of the sleeve is coated with an adhesive. The adhesive layer becomes molten when heated and upon cooling completes the seal to the pipe surface.
18
Heat shrink products include tube sleeves, wrap-around sleeves and tape. Shrink ratios are in the 2:1 and 3:1 with minimal change in the linear direction along the pipe. Some wrap-around sleeves have metal closure strips that hold them together during application.
19
Heat shrink products are available for pipe diameters in the range of 2 to 60. They can be used with virtually all of the pipeline coatings in current use. Depending upon the sleeve material and adhesive they can be used on pipelines operating to 230F.

Defects or damage in many pipeline coatings can be repaired with cold-applied polymer-based tapes. The tapes may utilize PVC, HDPE, HDPP, or MPA polymers.
The areas to be repaired can be prepared by wire brush. A primer may be necessary to optimize the adhesive bond of the tape.

HAND-WRAPPING PE TAPE
The interior sleeve or tape surfaces will have a modified butyl rubber adhesive that will complete the adhesive bond.
28
If the temperatures are below levels specified by the manufacturer, an insufficient bond will form and lead to failure by water penetration. Pull-off peel tests provide a means to evaluate the adhesive bond of heat-shrink products in the field.
29
Weather conditions at the time of repair may require the use of low temperature tolerant formulations.
