1. GENERAL
This procedure details the application of shrink sleeves on girth welds of a three layer
polypropylene coated pipe operating at maximum temperatures of 120°c and minimum
temperatures of -18°c.
2. Reference
DEP 31.40.30.31 & ISO 21809-1
3. Surface preparation
Clean exposed steel area and adjacent pipe coating (100mm before shrinking) that will
be covered by the HTLP-PP sleeve from all dust, dirt, moisture, grease or other
contaminates if necessary, use a non-contaminating solvent such as Xylene.
Power tool cleaning to ST3 will be used as preparation for surface of weld girth of pipes
before applying primer.
Using the power grinder roughen the polypropylene line coating to create a rough
surface for a width of about 25mm winder than the sleeve on each side of the weld.
Remove carefully all loose particles after surface cleaning operation by power tool, The
maximum elapsed time between completion of clean surface by power tool and starting
of preheating with relation to relative humidity is as given below and shall in any event
not exceed 4 hours. In case the elapsed time crosses the below specified value the field
joint needs to be re-blasted.
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.
Start rolling from the weld bead towards the ends, forcing out any entrapped air
from sleeve.
When the adhesive is too viscous and rolling becomes difficult, reheat the area again.
CONTRACTOR: ENNPI CLIENT: BAPETCO DOC NO. PTJ-SITRA-MECH-PRO-014
8. VISUAL INSPECTION
The inspection of the joint shall be done after the sleeve and the substrate to have cooled
down to ambient temperature.
The sleeve shall be visually inspected for the following points.
The weld bead profile contour shall be visible through the sleeve.
The ends of the sleeve shall be firmly bonded to the polypropylene line coating.
Adhesive flow shall be evident at both edges of sleeve around entire circumference of
pipe.
Sleeve shall overlap minimum 50mm onto the adjacent polypropylene.
Remove the HSS as quickly as possible after application or when the application is not
completely finished, while the steel is steel is still warm. if the HSS is damaged later in
the process, the procedure is equal except the steel needs to be reheated to melt the
adhesive layer
Cut the HSS minimize damaging the steel, epoxy layer or PP line pipe coating.
Remove the HSS, leave the epoxy and adhesive layer on the substrate.
Inspect the remaining epoxy and repair where needed it can be repaired by reheating
the area to approximately 60°C and epoxy application.
Using the induction coil, cure the repaired areas.
Check the temperature of the joint and reheat to between 170°C and 190°C when
necessary.
Apply a new HSS over the existing /repaired epoxy and remaining adhesive layer.

Product description
HTLP80 field-joint coatings.
Construction: Three-layer system:
First layer: Liquid epoxy, solvent-free two-component.
Second layer: High shear strength copolymer adhesive.
Third layer: Radiation cross-linked, high density polyethylene with PCI
(Permanent Change Indicator).
The HTLP80 system is a wrap-around heat-shrinkable sleeve which replicates the structure and
performance of mill-applied three-layer PE coatings. HTLP80 also has excellent compatibility and has been
extensively used on many other mill-applied coatings (see below). By far the majority of the girth welds
worldwide on three-layer coated pipes, diameters up to 100" (DN2500), have been coated with HTLP80.
During installation, the epoxy is applied to the prepared pipe surface and the heat-shrinkable sleeve is immediately wrapped around the joint over the wet epoxy. Heat is then
applied to the sleeve which shrinks to form a tight fit around the joint. While curing, the epoxy forms strong mechanical and chemical bonds to the pipe surface & to the
copolymer adhesive layer. The radiation cross-linked outer layer forms a tough barrier against mechanical damage and moisture transmission.
