Field joints
The main requirement of onshore
field joints is the end-to-end anticorrosion protection of
the landline.
The field joint, or the bare part of the pipeline surrounding
the weld area, is extremely sensitive to corrosion. The anticorrosion
coating system includes surface preparation, induction heating
and application of fusion-bonded epoxy and/or other single
or multilayer anticorrosion products.
Flame
spray
Our flame spray polyolefin process - polypropylene (PP) or
polyethylene (PE) - combines the epoxies’ excellent chemical
resistance and corrosion protection with the polypropylene’s
mechanical protection and moisture barrier at elevated temperatures.
Both PE and PP flame spray systems have been developed by EUPEC to
fuse the parent coating with the applied joint at any coating
thickness.
Polyurethane
equipment
EUPEC has a full range of spreads of polyurethane (PU) equipment
which can be automatic or manual depending on the required
production rate. This airless equipment is dedicated to the
application of bi-component polyurethane systems with a proven
track record in difficult and uneven topographies including
slops of more than 20% and extreme weather conditions.
Other types of mechanical
protection are available such as heat shrinkable sleeves
or cold tape, all of which comply with our rigorous in-house
quality standards. |
