1.0 SCOPE
The drawing, design and details given on this format are the property of ENGINEERS INDIA LIMITED. They are merely loaned on the borrower's express agreement that

This specification covers the minimum requirements of design, material, manufacture and supply
they will not be reproduced, copied, exhibited or used, except in the limited way permitted by a written consent given by the lender to the borrower for the intended use.

of casing insulators intended to be used for cased pipeline crossings.

2.0 FUNCTION

Pipeline insulators shall be used to support the carrier pipe inside the casing pipe and electrically
isolate the carrier pipe from the casing pipe at the cased crossings.

The casing insulators shall have the following properties:

- Resist cold flow and will not soften at design temperature.

- Resist corrosion.

- Resist mechanical damage while being pulled into the casing.

- Have high electrical insulating value and low water absorption, thus preventing leakage
and maintain electrical isolation between carrier and casing pipes.

- Have high compressive strength in order to ensure a permanent support to the carrier pipe.

3.0 DESIGN

The arrangement of insulator shall be generally in accordance with Fig. 3.0. It shall be made in
segments duly held together with cadmium plated bolts and nuts, to be supplied with casing
insulators.

The number of segments shall be two for pipe diameters upto DN 300 mm (12"). For larger
diameter, the number of segments may be more than two, but their number shall be kept minimum.

The skid height shall be such that it is slightly less than the value obtained by following formula:

Casing Internal Dia – Carrier Outer Dia

Manufacturer shall obtain prior approval from OWNER on casing insulators drawings/design.

4.0 MATERIAL

Casing insulators shall be made of injection moulded high density polyethylene or other material
equivalent or superior as approved by OWNER and shall meet the following specifications:

Property Value ASTM Test Method

Dielectric strength 450-500 Volts/Mil D-149

Compressive strength 3200 psi D-695

Tensile strength 3100-5000 psi D-638, D-651

Impact strength 4.0 ft.1b./inch of notch D-256

casing end seals intended to be used for pipeline cased crossings.

2.0 FUNCTION

Casing end seals are intended to be used for sealing the annular space between casing pipe and
carrier pipe at casing ends so as to prevent ingress of moisture and water.

3.0 DESIGN

The seals shall be suitable for the casing and carrier pipe diameters as applicable for each case.
The casing end seal shall be flexible to cater for the expansion and contraction of carrier and
casing pipes and shall be able to tolerate both angular and concentric misalignment of casing pipe
without loss of sealing efficiency.

The design of the casing end seals shall permit easy installation of the seal to the cased pipeline
crossing.

It shall provide moisture-proof seals when installed for the entire anticipated life of the burried
pipeline.

Manufacturer shall obtain prior approval from OWNER on casing end seals design/drawings.

4.0 MATERIAL

The casing end-seals shall be made of heat shrink high density radiation cross linked polyethylene
with an adhesive having a melt point suitable for the pipeline service temperature and ambient
temperatures foreseen during construction. End seals material shall be resistant to heat, cold,
vibration, impact, abrasion, corrosive fluids, disbonding, organic and bio-deterioration.
Manufacturer shall confirm compatibility of end seals with carrier pipe coating.
Casing end seals shall meet following minimum property requirements:

Property Minimum Value Test Method

a) Backing (Sleeve and closure patch)

Tensile strength 2200 psi ASTM D 638

Ultimate Elongation 400 % ASTM D 638
