Fillers are not acceptable. Thixotropic additives added to the resin/curing agent mixture for viscosity control shall not exceed 2% by weight. Pigments are only acceptable as long as they do not affect the performance of the components as defined in Section 6, or if agreed with Employerin order to fulfil special application requirements.

4.3.2

 

Lining Material Unless otherwise agreed (see Clause 4.3.1), flange surface and all pipe and fittings which are to be exposed to the fluid, shall have a smooth uniform resin-rich lining consisting of: 

 A surfacing mat (tissue) or veil, which may be eith either er a C-glass (example, (example, chemicalchemicalresistant glass) or a synthetic fibre such as linear polyester fibres or polyacrylontrile fibres;



4.3.3

 

The same resin, which is used for the fabrication of the pipe, fitting and flange.

Adhesive The adhesive for adhesive-bonded connections shall be of an epoxy type, formulated to be resistant to the fluid to be conveyed, and for the service temperatures and pressures. It shall be of the type and quality regularly supplied by the pipe Vendorfor the duty intended, and as used for  the qualification test (Clause 6.2.6) and shall have a proven record of good service. The adhesive shall be provided in a kit form containing the epoxy resin curing agent (separately and in the recommended proportions), a mixing stick, joint cleaner, sandpaper and brush, together with jointing instructions. The adhesive kit shall have been date stamped at the time of the packaging and shall indicate the required storage conditions and date of expiration of shelf life. The adhesive kit shelf life at 40 C shall not be less than six months from the date of shipment or 12 months from the date of production.

Rubber Sealing Rings The sealing rings for the spigot and socket connections shall be made of a rubber type resistant to the water to be conveyed and for the service temperatures and pressures. Vendorshall state the type of rubber, providing evidence for its suitability in the proposed application.

4.3.5

 

Fixation Rod The fixation rod for thrust-resistant spigot and socket connections with rubber sealing ring(s) shall be made of a flexible thermoplastic material, resistant to the particular service condition, such as temperature, surrounding environment, ultra-violet exposure, etc. Vendorshall state the type of thermoplastic material, providing evidence for its suitability in the proposed application.

4.3.6

 

Lamination Vendorshall submit the lamination process from preparation to finishing. The lamination surface shall be warmed up during cold weather application to temperature higher than 18°C. Pipe diameters larger than 600mm (24”) shall be laminated. Vendorshall remove the fire protection layer prior to lamination work. After lamination process, fire protection layer shall be reinstated in accordance with Vendor’s recommendation of protection layer installation.

4.3.7

 

Jointing Methods Jointing method shall be standardized for aboveground and underground systems as follows: 

NPS 24 and below = Adhesive (Taper)



NPS 26 and above = Laminated

Keylock mechanical joint shall be used for all all field joints and for up to 24“pipe diameter. Piping system shall be fabricated in spooled sections to minimise field joints. Field joints for pipes more than 24” in diameter shall be laminated joints. Taper/Taper adhesive joint shall be used for all workshop environment to fabricate more complicated/convoluted spools.
