DEFINISION AND ABBREVIATION

HSS: Heat Shrinkable Sleeve
PROCEDURE FOR QUALIFICATION OF HEAT SHRINKABLE SLEEVE
4.1
In line with contract document, field joint coating, the heat shrinkable
sleeve (HSS) application method shall be qualified for use on the project
by the performance of a HSS procedure Qualification Test.
4.2
Inspection and test equipment shall be listed in HSS procedure
qualification Test Report attached).
4.3
Material for HSS procedure qualification Test shall be listed in HSS
procedure qualification Test (attached)
4.4

HSS shall be applied to a welded joint in project material in accordance

with project construction procedure.
1
Surface preparation: Visual inspection and surface profile. The
surface preparation of the field joint shall be deemed acceptable when it
has the characteristics listed below.
The substrate is visually clean and free from any evidence of
contamination, Weld spatter/mill scale or other foreign matters
and corrosion
2
Pre-Heat Temperature
Preheat the joint minimum 800c maximum 900, if ambient temperature
is <20 but if ambient temperature is >20 preheat is minimum 700c
maximum 800 using a propane torch. Check temperature with a contact
thermometer. The sleeve should overlap in the 10 to 2 Oclock position
and over the overlap of the sleeve onto itself should be at least 100mm.
3
Visual Inspection after Installation.
Full contact with steel joint

Adhesive flows beyond both sleeve

No cracks or hole in sleeve backing
No scorch marks

Holiday Detection Testing

The result of a holiday detecting test of the field joint shall be deemed
acceptable when it is carried out within 16.3-18.2Kv.
4.4

5.0

On successful completion of the specified tests of the HSS procedure

shall deemed qualified, see HSS procedure qualification Test Report.
