Abstract
Abstract of the Disclosure A method of repairing a corrosion resistant paste-type asphalt enamel coating of the exterior surface of an operating pipeline includes the removal of the prior paste coating parts having an inadequate adhesion to the pipe, followed by the application of a primer of the composition similar to that of the prior paste, which results in a partial softening of the prior paste. A
new insulation coating is further applied with a layer smoothing the exterior surface of the pipeline and filling all the pits thereon by using for this purpose a heated adhesive paste of the composition similar to those of the prior paste and the primer with the result that a uniform plastic coating consisting of the prior paste, the primer and the new paste is provided. Thereafter, the pipe with this coating applied is covered with a polymeric film.

Description
The present invention relates to pipeline transportation means and more particularly to methods of repairing a corrosion resistant paste-type coating of the exterior surface of an operating pipeline.
Known in the art is a method of repairing a corrosion resistant coating of a pipeline exterior sur-face including the steps of cleaning the pipe till it glitters, priming it and coating with the main insulation coating.
A disadvantage of the known method if applied to an operating pipeline is that the process of removing the prior insulation from the pipeline exterior surface till it glitters is highly labour-consuming and is very expensive in the field. In addition. with the known method employed the quality of a corrosion resistant coating is inadequate and its life-time is less than the service-life of the pipeline metal.
An object of the present invention is to reduce the cost of cleaning the exterior surface of the pipeline.
Another object of the present invention is to improve the quality of a newly-applied corrosion resis-tant coating.
One more object of the present invention is to increase the life-time of a newly-applied corrosion resistant coating.
In accordance with a broad aspect of the invention, there is provided a method of repairing a corrosion resistant paste-type asphalt enamel coating of the exterior surface of an operating pipeline, which includes the steps of first removing portions of a prior

paste coating featuring an inadequate adhesion to the pipe, followed by the application of a primer coating of the composition similar to that of the prior paste, which results in a partial softening of the prior paste. A new insulation coating is further applied with a layer smoothing the pipeline exterior surface and filling all the pits therein by using for this purpose a heated adhesive paste of the composition similar~to those of the prior paste and the primer, which provides a uniform plastic material of the prior paste, the primer and the new paste. Thereafter, the pipe with this coating applied is covered with a poly-meric film. The adhesive paste when applied is heated to a temperature lower than the temperature of decomposition of the polymeric film.
This method of repairing a corrosion resistant paste-type coating of the exterior surface of an operating pipeline provides a high quality corrosion resistant protec-tion of the pipeline for the whole period of its service-life ;
without increasing the cost.

The invention will now be described in yrea-ter detail with reference to a preferred embodiment.
The section of an operating pipeline, which is to be repaired, is raised by a pile-lifting means to -the height sufficient Eor mounting and traversing of a cleaning, priming and insulating machines thereon. The portions of a prior paste coating having an inadequate adhesion to the pipe are removed by a cleaning machine from the exterior surface of the pipe, exposing thereby ~lefective areas of the pipe exte-rior surface. The portions pitted with corrosion are repaired9if necessary. A primer coating is further applied, its com-position being similar to that of the prior paste, thus providing a high quality adhesion on the entire pipe surface and the softening of the remaining prior paste. Thereafter, an insulating machine applies a new insulation coating layer of 3 mm to 6 mm smoothing the pipeline exterior surface and filling all the pits therein by employing for this purpose a heated adhesive paste of the composition similar to those -3a-?, :
o~ the prior paste and the primer, and providing therewith a uniform coating, featuring an ade~uate adhesion to the pipe surface and to the polymeric film~
For example, if the prior paste coating consists of bi tumen, the primer composition is as follows: I part of bitu-me~ and 3 parts of petrol, ~hile the adhesive paste composi-tion is: bitumen, solar oil (2 - l~/o~ and, if necessary, fil~
lers up to 20% providing the xequired strength and temperatu-re characteristics of -the coating depending on the maintenan-ce conditions thereof, used as fillers may be debituminiza-tion products, waste products of the pol~mer, rubber produc-tion etc. The pipe with the coating applied is further cove-red with a polymeric film b.y the same insulating machine, uhereas the adhesive ~aste, when being applied, should be hea-ted to a temperature low~ than the decomposition temperatu-re of the pol~meric film.
~ or example~ if a polyvin~lchloride film is used the adhesive paste is heated in the temperature range of 100 150 C. ~he lower limit is dependent on the maximum viseo-si~y of the adhesive paste, which permits of applyi~g thereof by a mechanical means; the upper limit is conditio- :
ned by the elimination of the polymeric ~ lm destruction.
~he proposed method makes it possible to use a pol~meric film without a prior application Or an adhesive coat thereo~.
If it is necessary to reinforce the i~sulatio~, reinforcing materials are applied over the coatingO
