Application Procedure 1.

Scope 1.1

1.2

2.

3.

Wrapid Bond™ system is a wraparound corrosion protective Visco-Elastic (VE) coating system for new construction or rehabilitation of existing pipeline coatings. The system may be used for below grade and subsea steel pipelines operating at temperatures up to 75°C. The Wrapid Bond™ system consists of 2 major components: st

a)

The 1 layer (inner), Wrapid Bond™, is a modified and reinforced Visco-Elastic adhesive applied onto a polyethylene carrier film that facilitates wrapping directly to substrate thus creating an impermeable barrier to water and air.

b)

The 2 layer (outer), Wrapid Coat™ or Wrapid Coat™XL range, is a tough PVC or FRP tape designed as an outer wrap for the VE inner wrap for mechanical protection.

nd

This document shall be a general guideline for the installation of Wrapid Bond™ system over pipelines with various applications and conditions. For variant specific applications, Canusa-CPS should be consulted for best practice.

Condition of Steel Pipe Prior to Surface Preparation 2.1

Pipe should have acceptable integrity, be properly patched and leak free. particles on the weld areas shall be removed mechanically.

Any slag and loose

2.2

Any moisture or liquid contaminations on the surface of the pipe is not allowed and shall be properly removed if present.

Surface Preparation Requirements 3.1

Prior to installation, steel surfaces shall be inspected and pre-cleaned according to SSPC SP2 / SIS St2 to remove mill scale and surface rust and subsequently wiped to remove dust, dirt, debris and any oil or grease present.

3.2

Clean surface to minimum SSPC SP2 / SIS St2 or St3 wire brush for small areas (less then 1 m ) or SSPC SP6 / SIS Sa2 medium abrasive blast cleanliness level for larger area.

3.3

Prepared surfaces shall be protected from conditions of high humidity, rainfall, or surface moisture before application of the products.

SAES-H-002V Approved Saudi Aramco Data Sheets for the Pipeline and Piping Coatings

Make sure the substrate temperature is at least 5°F above the dew point temperature.

Application of Wrapid Bond™ on Girth Weld 4.1

Wrapid Bond™ of 200 mm width shall be pre-cut to the desired length equal to the circumference of the pipe plus 100 to 150 mm for overlapping. Transport to site and storage shall be in a cooled or shaded truck/tente during high temperature season.

4.2

Depending on the cut back width, a number of adjacent Wrapid Bond™ wraps can be applied - either 2, 3 or more wraps of Wrapid Bond™ 200 mm wide or in combination with 100 mm wide product.

4.3

Overlapping of adjacent circumferential wraps shall be minimim 50 mm if 2 wraps, or 25 mm if 3 wraps or more when using Wrapid Bond™ FST weld bead tape of 50 mm width on the weld; overlapping of Wrapid Bond™ wraps on FBE or PP, PE mainline coating shall be kept min 100 mm in all cases.

4.4

The 1 wrap shall start at the 2 o’clock position and wrapped clockwise while removing the release liner. The adjacent wrap shall start at the 10 o’clock position and wrapped counter clockwise and so forth. Self overlap (wrap ends) shall be minimum 100 mm.

4.5

Alternatively, Wrapid Bond™ can be supplied of the same joint width to be applied in combination with the weld bead tape as a single wrap using Canusa wrapping machine.

4.6

Ensure the wrapping is well pressed onto the pipe surfaces, especially at the coating transition areas and over the weld bead location.

st

Application of Wrapid BondTM as a Rehabilation Coating TM

5.1

Spiral, longitudinal, and circumferential welds shall be wrapped by Wrapid Bond tape 50 mm wide.

FST weld bead

5.2

Start wrapping circumferentially around the pipe at a 90° angle, overlapping the adjacent sound st coating by a minimum of 100 mm for the 1 total circumference which shall overlap itself vertically by minimum 200 mm.

5.3

Incline the tape and start wrapping spirally while removing the release liner and ensure that a minimum edge overlap of 10% the tape width (or as otherwise specified) is maintained. Press or roll on lightly over the entire coated area. Continue application with light to moderate tension.

5.4

Special attention shall be made to the bottom part of the pipe to make sure the material adheres well with no air pockets at 6 o’clock position.

5.5

Finish with a circumferential wrap applied at 90° to the pipe length, overlapping the coating to be tied into by a minimum of 100mm.

5.6

Transition from one roll to another with a 100 mm overlap onto the end of the previous with the overlap always facing down. Any creases or folds can be pressed flat or cut out and repaired with another piece of Wrapid Bond™ which must overlap the damage by 100 mm in vertical direction and 20 mm in horizontal direction.

5.7

Ensure the wrapping is well pressed onto the pipe surfaces, especially at weld beads and the coating transition area.

Wrapid Bond™ FST (VE paste) on fittings and irregularities 6.1

Apply the VE filler bars or tube on irregularities and fittings such as bolts, cavities, flanges, etc., by moulding the VE paste by hands to the right place creating a completely sealed body.

6.2

VE filler shall take the compacted shape with inclination so that Wrapid Bond™ 50 or 100 mm (depending on the fitting size) can be wrapped around spirally on the whole fitting detail with 10 mm overlap.

6.3

If pipe surface has irregularities like voids or sharp corners, VE fillers shall be used to fill them before applying the inner wrap.

Application of Wrapid Coat™ (outer wrap) 7.1

Apply the first circumference wrap on overlapping the mainline coating by minimum of 50mm around the pipe at a 90° angle with double wrap at start and end, self overlap with minimum 200mm then incline the direction of wrapping from vertical to overcoat the Wrapid Bond™.

7.2

Continue application spirally with a 50% overlap at moderate tension.

7.3

Roll end shall cover the new roll lead by minimum of 200 mm and shall be further inclined toward the wrapping direction for better closure.

7.4

Overlap of Wrapid Coat™ on the sound mainline coating shall be at least 50 mm and it shall end by a full circumferential wrap as well.

7.5

When the pipe is subject to mechanical abuse or impacts, such as in thrust boring, directional drilling applications, and high turbulence soil/subkha, Wrapid Coat™ XL range shall be used as a protection to the VE adhesive and a mechanical barrier. Check with the local representive for any specific application.

Application Procedure 1.

2.

3.

4.

Scope 1.1

This specification covers the surface preparation and application/installation procedure for the ® STOPAQ coating system on pipelines and piping, that are buried below ground.

1.2

The STOPAQ system consists of the following:

®

a)

Wrapping-band CZ H.

b)

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) or PP Outer Wrap.

Condition of Steel Pipe Prior to Surface Preparation 2.1

Remove all weld spatters and slag.

2.2

Remove loose coating and/or heavy layers of rust.

2.3

Moisture condensation on the steel substrate is not allowed.

Surface Preparation Requirements 3.1

Blast cleaning is recommended if the pipe length is more than one meter. Surface profile is not critical but if blast cleaning is employed, commercial blasting to achieve a profile Sa-2 is acceptable.

3.2

The type and particle size of the abrasive material are not critical. Recycled abrasive can be used.

3.3

For a pipe length of less than one meter, tool cleaning (wire brushing) according to SSPC SP 2 is acceptable.

3.4

Any sharp metal protrusions exceeding 0.8 mm in height should be ground to prevent the possibility of the polyethylene layer being torn.

Application of the STOPAQ® System 4.1

The steel pipe temperature should not exceed 70ºC during the application.

4.2

The steel pipe should not be wet or moist during the application. If it is wet, the pipe should be dried with a dry rag.

4.3

The STOPAQ® system can be applied over an existing coating that is bonded strongly to the steel pipe, risers or isolated valves.

SAES-H-002V Approved Saudi Aramco Data Sheets for the Pipeline and Piping Coatings

Before starting the wrapping of the wrapping-band CZ H, the following items should be ensured. a)

Allow proper accessibility to the pipeline from all directions for free movement of labor during the application.

b)

In "Subkha" areas, the bell hole should be drained properly and continuously for a dry working condition during the application.

c)

Use CZ H paste in areas of significant transition in the pipeline such as the welds on metal sleeves. This paste will enable a gradual transition from the higher edge of the metal sleeve to the original pipe body.

d)

Apply the wrapping-band CZ H over the CZ H paste immediately after the adhesive application.

The Wrapping-band shall be applied onto the steel pipe without tension. a)

The first wraparound of the wrapping-band is done without advancing the roll. One complete circumferential wrapping around the pipe is made before starting the next wrapping.

b)

After the first wraparound is finished, successive wraps should be performed with a minimum overlap of 10 mm or larger regardless of the width of the roll.

c)

When a roll of the wrapping-band is finished, the next roll should be used starting at a distance of at least 100 mm before the end of the finished roll.

d)

After the pipe is completely wrapped, another circumferential wrap is done at the pipe end. This acts as a "seal" to ensure that the end of the wrapping-band will not be removed.

e)

Any areas of blisters or slackening of the wrapping-band shall be pressed or "massaged" by hand to improve the wrapping.

The outer wrap over the wrapping-band shall be applied with tension. a)

The wrapping of the outer wrap shall start 5 mm from the start of the wrapping of the wrappingband. This will enable a 5 mm of the wrapping-band to remain exposed.

b)

The first wrap of the outer wrap over the wrapping-band CZ H is done without advancing the roll.

c)

Subsequent wraps with 50% longitudinal overlap should be maintained regardless of the width of the roll.

d)

If a roll of outer wrap is finished, the succeeding roll should be initiated at a distance of at least 25 cm before the end of the finished outer wrap roll.

e)

When the entire length of visco-elastic coated pipe has been over-wrapped with an outer wrap, a final wrapping similar to the first wrap as in (4.6.b, c, and d) must be repeated.

f)

Any areas showing blisters or irregularities as a result of entrapped air should be removed with by using roller. The rolling action should be done longitudinally along the pipe, starting from the blister toward the edge of the outer wrap.

g)

Backfilling can be performed immediately after the applied coating system has been checked, inspected, and approved by the inspector.

Patch Repair 5.1

6.

SAES-H-002V Approved Saudi Aramco Data Sheets for the Pipeline and Piping Coatings

Patch repair is done when the coating is removed for “window” inspection or if it is damaged by heavy earth moving equipment. The patch repair procedure shall be as follows: a)

Cut out the damaged area using a sharp blade cutter. Chamfer the surrounding coating.

b)

Use new patch of wrapping band to cover the area where the coating is removed. Do not overlap the patch on the sound coating. Use several strips of the wrapping and if necessary to b applied next to each another (minimum 10 mm overlap with one another).

c)

Install the outer wrap over the Wrapping band patch on the whole pipe circumference.

d)

Make several wraparounds over the new patch of wrapping band until it is completely covered, and the outer wrap is at least 100 mm away from the edges of the Wrapping-band.

Testing Methods and Equipment 6.1

Holiday Detection Holiday detection test is not normally recommended, but if required the following procedure is followed to determine inadequately coated areas.

6.2

6.3

a)

Use a high-voltage, "spark" holiday detector at a voltage ranging from 10,000 to 15,000 volts. Use a full-circle coiled spring electrode.

b)

Move the probing electrode over the pipe surface in one direction at a rate approximately 0.3 m/second. Mark defective areas.

c)

Marked areas should be repaired as per paragraph 5.

Dew Point a)

Control of dew point is important to prevent moisture condensation on the steel pipe substrate during the application of this coating system.

b)

The substrate temperature shall be 5°F higher than the dew point. Do not apply the coating when the pipeline temperature is less than 5ºF above the dew point.

Relative Humidity Relative humidity shall not exceed 85% to ensure that no condensate is forming on the substrate during application.

6.4

Chloride Contamination The performance of Visco-Elastic coating is not affected with the presence of chloride salts higher than the permissible (40 mg/cm²) Water wash for decontamination is not required.

7.

Materials Handling Visco-Elastic coating system is a durable in a broad range of field storage conditions. For achieving best results, the product shall be stored as follows: 7.1

Long Term Storage All Vicso-Elastic coating system components shall be stored in a proper closed warehouse at storage temperature not exceed 30ºC.
