Temperature Ratings for Covalence/Raychem Heat Shrink Sleeves

 Temp Ratings for Covalence / Raychem Heat Shrink Sleeves for Corrosion Prevention

     I've found that often conversations about the product are more valuable than simply looking at a website.  I'd love to chat with you about this:  Steve 936/321-3333

    But now, looking at the various maximum temperature ratings for various Covalence / Raychem shrink sleeves:  we are basing these on maximum operating temperature of the pipeline.  In many cases, a pipeline project may list something like "maximum design temperature" and "expected operating temperature".  Very often, coatings are selected that will be able to meet the "maximum design temperature."  Occasionally, a client of ours will direct us to ignore 'max design' and instead quote based on "expected."  That is their choice of course.  

     So from here, I'm looking specifically at the flip side:  what is the maximum operating temperature of a pipeline with specific regard to our coatings (which is actually based almost wholly on the ratings of the adhesive used on that coating. 

WPCT - 140F

WPC65M - 150F

WPC100M - 176F (212F offshore or under insulation)

WPC120 - 251F

HTLP60 - 140F

HTLP80 - 176F

TPS - 140F

    To reiterate:  conversations about your project are MUCH BETTER than simply plugging in something you've read; so please call me to discuss!!
