5. How to install it ?
Pipe Preparation
Metal Surface Condition:
Bare pipe shall be free from mud, mill scale, mill lacquer, wax, coal tar, asphalt, oil, grease, or any other foreign material. Before blast cleaning, surfaces shall be inspected and pre-cleaned according to SSPC-SP 1 to remove oil, grease, and loosely adhering deposits. Visible oil and grease spots shall be removed using a solvent. Only solvents that do not leave a residue shall be used. Preheating to remove oil, grease, and mill scale may be used provided that all pipe is preheated in a uniform manner to avoid distortion.
Blasting cleaning : After drying and removing all loosely adhering foreign materials, the pipe surface shall be cleaned by blasting with sand, grit, or shot to achieve a surface preparation at least equal to that specified in SSPC- SP 6/ NACE No. 3 .The blast anchor pattern or profile depth shall be 1 mil to 3 mil (25 pm to 75 pm) measured in accordance with ASTM D 4417.
Visual comparative standards: The contractor shall prepare a representative area on an actual work surface, as well as visual standards on minimum 6 in. X 1/4 in .(150 mm X 150 mm X 6 mm) panels. When the visual standard meets the requirements of blast cleaning, the panels shall be wrapped in plastic, sealed with tape or otherwise protected from surface contamination or corrosion, and maintained as a visual reference standard throughout the coating operations. The standard section shall be sealed carefully to prevent rusting. Alternatively, other industry -accepted visual comparative standards agreed on may be used.
Abrasive working mix: For consistent surface finish, a stabilized working mix shall be maintained in abrasive-recycling blasting machines by frequent small additions of new grit, shot, or sand (all commensurate with abrasive consumption ); infrequent large additions shall be avoided .The abrasive working mix abrasive-recycling blasting machines shall be maintained clean of contaminants by continuous effective operation of blasting-machine scalping and air-wash separators.
Surface inspection: The cleaned exterior pipe surface shall be in inspected for adequate surface preparation, Surface imperfections, such as slivers, burrs, weld spatter, and gouges, shall be removed by hand filling or grinding if necessary to prevent holidays.
Protection from moisture: Blasting-cleaned pipe surface shall be protected from conditions of high humidity, rainfall, or surface moisture. No pipe shall be allowed to flash rust before coating. To ensure a dry pipe surface at the time of liquid adhesive application, the minimum steel substrate temperature shall be 7 ℃ and at least 3 ℃ above the dew point.
Weld Seam Cover
Longitudinal and coil splice welds: weld seam cover tape shall be compatible with the liquid adhesive. Before applying the inner-layer tape . the longitudinal and coil splice weld seams shall be ground flush for a distance of 450 mm along the length of the pipe on both ends, These weld seams shall be coated with liquid adhesive and then covered with a strip of tape recommended by the manufacturer. the width of the weld seam tape will be as recommended by the manufacturer and as approved by Engineer in Charge. The weld seam tape shall conform to the provisions of these specifications.
Spiral welds: The spiral weld seam shall be ground flush a full 450 mm along the length of the pipe on both ends prior to the coating process. Covering the spiral weld seams with a stripping tape is required only when the profile and position of the weld seam prevents conformability . of the tape to the steel surface . This condition is encountered more often on large diameter (> 60 in.(1,500 mm)) pipelines. In these cases, the weld treatment shall be specified by the Engineer in Charge after consultation with the tape manufacturer.
7.3 Coating application
Liquid Adhesive Application
The liquid adhesive shall be applied in a uniform thin at the coverage rate recommended by the manufacture. The liquid adhesive shall be thoroughly and continuously mixed and agitated during application to prevent settling. The liquid adhesive may be applied to the entire exterior surface of the pipe by spray-type or rug-type methods or other suitable means to cover the entire exterior surface of the pipe. The liquid adhesive coat shall be uniform and free from floods, runs, sags, drips, or bare spots. The liquid adhesive coated pipe surface shall be free of any foreign substances, such as sand, grease, oil, grit, rust particles, or dirt. Before applying the inner-layer-tape, the liquid adhesive layer shall be allowed to dry in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendation.
Application of Inner-layer-tape
The inner-layer tape shall be applied directly onto the prepared pipe surface using mechanical constant tension coating equipment. The inner layer tape shall be spirally applied with overlap width and application tension as recommended by manufacture. When applied to spirally welded pipe , the direction of the tape spiral shall be generally parallel to the weld spiral. The minimum overlap shall not be less than 25 mm. When a new row of tape is started, the ends shall be overlapped at least 150 mm measured circumferentially.
Application of Outer-layer-tape
The Outer-layer tape shall be applied over the inner -layer tape using the same type of mechanical equipment used to apply the inner-layer tape. The overlap of the outer-layer tape shall not coincide with the overlap of the inner-layer tape. The minimum overlap of the applied tape and minimum end lap of two rolls shall be the same as that of inner-layer tape. The outer-layer tape shall be applied at minimum roll temperature of 21 ℃. The tape manufacture shall be consulted for recommended temperature of roll above 21 ℃ to enhance conformability of the outer-wrap to the pipe surface.
Cutbacks
Cutbacks shall be 150 mm +/- 25 mm. The cutbacks may be straight edge for the total thickness of the coating, or they may be tapered, as approved by the Engineer in Charge.
