SplashTRON - Coated J-Tubes for Pipeline Protection
J-tube pulls have been made with SplashTRON-coated pipelines for 30 years at depths to more than 1,000 feet, and protection is assured for the life of the installation.
SplashTRON® is a good electrical insulator, which prevents loss of cathodic protection, and it will not contribute to galvanic corrosion.
SplashTRON® is bonded strongly and uniformly to the pipe, giving complete protection during the pull and after. Since it is an elastomer, it won`t crack or disbond as the pipe bends around the “J”.
For insurance against practically any eventuality, many operators use a combination of SplashTRON® products:
- Complete coating of the pipeline in the tube with SplashTRON® giving permanent corrosion protection and electrical insulation.
- A bottom J-tube plug, which seals off the annulus, centralizes the pipe in the tube and confines corrosion inhibitor to the inside of the J-tube.
Most of the leading producing and transmission companies use SplashTRON®, including four lines in J-tubes in more than 1,000 feet of water to the world`s deepest conventional platforms.
Strong bong of SplashTRON® to metal, shields from saltwater and oxygen attack, cannot easily be dislodged
- Resilient coating, will not crack or disbond as pipe flexes or bends, pipe can be “cold bent” after SplashTRON® is applied with no adverse effects
- Long lasting; requires no routine maintenance for the life of of the platform, riser, or pipeline
- Yellow color, readily visible for safety, contains no carbon black to impair electrical insulation
- Resists buildup of scale, fungus, and sea life; easily cleaned to keep desired OD
- Good electrical insulator, isolates cathodic protection systems, prevents galvanic corrosion
