Heat Shrink Sleeves for Field Joint Coating in Pipelines: Materials and Description
Heat shrink sleeves are specialized materials used for field joint coating in pipelines. They provide protection against corrosion, mechanical damage, and environmental factors, ensuring the integrity and longevity of pipeline systems. These sleeves are widely used in oil and gas pipelines, water pipelines, and other industrial piping systems.
Heat shrink sleeves are applied to the field joints of pipelines as a seamless, durable barrier that restores the pipeline's corrosion protection in the joint area.
Structure:
Heat shrink sleeves typically consist of:
Backing Layer: A cross-linked polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) material that provides mechanical strength and resistance to environmental factors.
Adhesive Layer: A heat-activated adhesive (e.g., mastic or hot-melt adhesive) that bonds with the pipe surface and the factory-applied coating.
Application Process:
The sleeve is wrapped around the field joint.
Heat is applied using a propane torch or an induction heater, causing the sleeve to shrink tightly around the joint.
The adhesive melts and bonds to the pipe surface, creating a watertight and corrosion-proof seal.
Key Features:
Excellent corrosion resistance.
High mechanical strength and flexibility.
Long-term resistance to environmental factors like UV radiation, chemicals, and temperature variations.
Easy and quick installation in the field.
