2. Joint Protection Options
3. 3-Layer Polyethylene - What is it?
Heat Shrink Sleeve vs. Liquid Applied Technologies
Application Criteria
Factors affecting Long Term Performance
4. Mainline Coating with:
FBE Primer
High Shear Adhesive
Extruded Polyethylene jacket
5. 3-Layer Heat Shrink SleevesWhat Are They? Mirror the 3LPE mainline coating
Performance based on p/l design requirements
3-layer system
Epoxy Primer
High Shear Adhesive
Crosslinked Polyethylene backing
8. Liquid Applied SystemsWhat Are They? Brush or spray applied coatings
Single application or multiple passes to achieve DFT
Technologies:
Urethanes
Tar extended urethanes
Epoxies
10. InstallationWhat is Important? Heat Shrink Sleeve
Surface Prep
Pre-heat
Sleeve Wrap
Closure
Heat Shrinking
(Unaffected by ambient conditions) Liquid System
Applicator protection
Equipment set-up
Surface Prep
Pre-heat
Mix Ratio
Spray
Cure Time
(Amb. conditions critical <80% RH)
11. Surface Prep.What is Important? Heat Shrink Sleeve
Sa2.5 desired
Lesser prep may be acceptable
2 mil profile typical Liquid System
Sa2.5 required
2 - 4 mil profile required
14. Product Performance Heat Shrink Sleeves vs. Tar Urethane
15. Heat Shrink Sleeves vs. Liquids Lap Shear HSS
Lower values vs. liquids but exceed pipeline spec requirements
Epoxy layer on steel
Passes Alyeska Shear
Performs in-service
thermal stress
soil stress
at operating temps. Liquids
High values - 25 to 50 times HSS
Impressive but irrelevant
16. Heat Shrink Sleeves vs. Liquids Adhesive / Cohesive Strength HSS
Lower cohesive strength relative to adhesive strength
Failure mode cohesive, leaves adhesive layer on epoxy primer Liquids
High cohesion through chemically crosslinked structure
Typical adhesion failure mode leaves unprotected steel
17. Heat Shrink Sleeves vs. Liquids Thermal Cycling HSS
Flexible enough to accommodate thermal cycling - up to 80°C
Fully compatible at the 3LPE Mainline interfaces
Excellent resistance to moisture and ground water at operating temps. Liquids
Excellent on FBE
Differential movement vs. 3LPE - may lead to interfacial cracking
Urethanes exposed to >50°C absorb water, limit long term performance
Good short term results, long term unproven
18. Heat Shrink Sleeves vs. LiquidsCathodic Disbondment HSS
Epoxy primer and adhesive combination offer superior corrosion protection
Excellent CD resistance up to 80°C
Liquids
Limitations on operating temp
Good short term results, long term unproven
Higher values than 3LHSS
19. Heat Shrink Sleeves vs. Liquids Compatibility with Mainline Coatings HSS
Three distinct layers of protection
Epoxy primer
Adhesive
Polyethylene Backing
Mirrors the mainline coating Liquids
Single layer must bond with four distinct interfaces
Steel
Epoxy
Adhesive
Polyethylene
Potential for failure
21. Heat Shrink Sleeves vs. Liquids Canusa Has Both HSS
Sleeves to meet specific design criteria
Ambient 2-layer
3LPE
Polypropylene
FBE
Liquids Liquids
Epoxies & Urethanes for Specific Coatings
High Build Epoxy for FBE
Ceramic Urethane for Directional Drilling
Urethane Corrosion Coatings for Pipelines
22. Heat Shrink Sleeves vs. Liquids Summary HSS
System that closely matches a 3LPE mainline coating
Best performance where required
Adhesion
Shear
CD Resistance
Impact Resistance Liquids
Application sensitive
Mix Ratio sensitive
Lacks compatibility with 3LPE
Performance suited for epoxy or urethane mainline coatings
