LAMINATION PROCEDURE ON RTR PIPE JOINTS

Introduction:

This method statement defines the Repair procedure for RTR pipe 4’’diameter drain line
on sea water and other systems.

Procedure:

Materials

 Resin ( Epoxy resin )

 Hardener ( IPD-Isophoronediamine)
 Boat tape ( fiber glass)
 Wooven Roving ( glass )
 RP- 48 ( Adhesive )

Tools

 3’’felt roller and or 3’’ bristle brush.

 1’’ x 3’’ small air removal roller.
 4’’ angle grinder m/c.
 36grade grinding disc.
 Heating Blanket
 Flapper wheel sander
 Pipe wrap

Pipe cutting:
Cut out the section of pipe which leaks/ damage make sure cut are square, Dry the
pipe ends and cut new length of pipe to the same length ,Align the pipe joints in both
ends circumferentially.

Preparation for lamination on joints

 The lamination length shall always be 120mm mark length and proceed end
preparation.
Adhesive Fit layer

 Prepare the adhesive mixture accordingly to the procedure coat the ends with
adhesive in order to protect them against penetration.
 Coat the external square of the pipe end approximately 100 mm width wet out
boat tape with adhesive and apply a minimum 3 layers circumferentially into the
jointed pipe ends, curing before proceeding.

Lamination procedure:

 Prepare the resin mixture using the correct mixing ratio 4:1.
 During wrapping process tension must be applies so that resin under the layer
laid could be pressed out.

Curing & finishing: using heating blankets to cure the butt and wrap joint laminate.
