General Specifications and Application Procedures of Heat-Shrink Sleeves to Coated Pipe

This Standard gives the mandatory requirements governing the storage, handling and installation of heat-shrink sleeves (primarily those described in SAES-H-002 for APCS-110, APCS-111 and APCS-112) which are used for coating the field girth weld area of externally coated pipe. The external pipe coating may be fusion-bonded epoxy (APCS-104), polyethylene (APCS-105), polypropylene (APCS-115), or Rayclad 120/B.
