Product Description

Product Introduction

◎ Construction: three-layer system.
◎ First layer: liquid epoxy, solvent-free, two-component.
◎ Second layer: high shear strength hot-melt adhesive.
◎ Third layer: radiation cross-linked, high density polyethylene, fiber reinforced composite structure.
◎ Additional component: Wear Cone as extra protection against pull-through forces, of the same construction as the main sleeve.

The FRDK heat shrinkable fiberglass reinforced sleeves provides effective protection against abrasion and wear forces that occur during the pull-through operation. The system is fully compatible with cathodic protection systems, resists cathodic disbandment and is designed for a wide range of operating temperatures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q What is the FRDK heat shrinkable fiberglass reinforced sleeve used for?
The FRDK sleeve is specifically designed for pipeline joint protection during horizontal directional drilling (HDD) operations. It provides effective protection against abrasion, wear, shear and peel forces that occur during the pull-through process for oil & gas and water pipelines.
Q How many layers does the FRDK sleeve system consist of?
The FRDK sleeve is a three-layer system: the first layer is a solvent-free, two-component liquid epoxy; the second layer is a high shear strength hot-melt adhesive; and the third layer is a radiation cross-linked, high-density polyethylene fiber reinforced composite structure. An additional Wear Cone component provides extra protection against pull-through forces.
Q Is the FRDK sleeve compatible with cathodic protection systems?
Yes. The FRDK system is fully compatible with cathodic protection systems. It demonstrates superior resistance to cathodic disbondment (2.05 mm radius after 28 days at 1.5V, 23±3°C) and is engineered to maintain long-term integrity in corrosion-prevention applications.
Q What line coatings are compatible with the FRDK sleeve?
The FRDK heat shrinkable fiberglass reinforced sleeve is compatible with polyethylene (PE), fusion-bonded epoxy (FBE), and Coal Tar line coatings, making it versatile for a wide range of pipeline coating systems used in the field.
Q What pipe sizes does the FRDK sleeve cover?
The FRDK sleeve is available in a wide range of specifications, covering pipe diameters from 159 mm up to 1219 mm. The circumferential sleeve length ranges from 680 mm to 4180 mm depending on the specification, with corresponding closure patch and wear cone widths available for each size.
Q What are the key performance test standards for the FRDK sleeve?
The FRDK sleeve is tested against multiple international standards including EN 12068 (burst strength, holiday test, indentation and impact resistance), ASTM D 257 (volume resistivity), ASTM D 149 (dielectric strength), ASTM E 28 (softening point), ISO 21809-3 (lap shear, peel strength, cathodic disbonding resistance), and ASTM D 870 (hot water immersion).
