20、solation in achieving and maintaining adequate, reliable, and economical corrosion control. The standard outlines the types of devices used for isolation; precautions to be observed; and selection of devices based on pipeline characteristics, site, and contents. The standard describes isolating flan

21、ges, gaskets, sleeves, washers, joints, unions, couplings, and spools, and discusses materials for pipeline casing isolation. Installation, field testing, and maintenance of isolating devices are also included. 1.2 This standard describes the application of isolating devices intended only for cathod

22、ic protection (CP) purposes when voltages across the isolating device are 1 to 2 volts direct current (DC) and the alternating current (AC) exposure does not exceed 15 volts root mean square (rms).31.3 This standard does not discuss situations in which isolating devices are incorporated purely for s

23、afety reasons; in those situations, reference should be made to relevant electrical safety codes. Isolating devices shall not be used in enclosed areas where combustible atmospheres are likely to be present. 1.4 Isolation of cathodically protected pipelines is recommended to minimize current require

24、ments, facilitate testing and troubleshooting, and improve current distribution. _ Section 2: Definitions Refer to the NACE International Glossary of Corrosion-Related Terms4for definitions. _ Section 3: Need for Isolation 3.1 CP current intended for a given pipeline can flow to other underground fa

25、cilities or equipment electrically connected to the pipeline. If protection of the other underground facilities is not intended, significant CP current can be lost unless preventive measures are taken. Generally called a current drain, this current loss can be reduced through electrical isolation of

26、 the pipeline. 3.2 CP even of well coated pipelines may not be economical or practical unless electrical isolation is achieved. 3.3 Pipeline casings should be electrically isolated from the carrier pipe. 3.4 If a pipeline passes through the wall of a valve pit or a building, metallic contact can occ

27、ur between the pipe and the steel reinforcement in the concrete, causing a significant loss of protective current. 3.5 Electrical isolation can minimize or eliminate galvanic corrosion caused by dissimilar metals in contact with each other or caused by similar metals in contact with each other when

28、one metal is bare or has a dielectric coating system while the other has a permeable (e.g., concrete or mortar) coating system. 3.6 If a pipeline is designed to be electrically continuous but is supported by another metallic structure in contact with soil or groundwater, the pipeline should be isola

29、ted from that structure. The isolating supports must prevent damage to the pipeline coating and must accommodate relative movement, vibration, and temperature differential. 3.7 Isolation of power and instrumentation grounding systems may be required when electrically operated valves and similar comp

30、onents form part of a pipeline system. All applicable safety codes and standards must be followed. 3.8 If a pipeline is to be protected by more than one type of CP system, isolation of one or more sections may be desirable. 3.9 Isolation of pipelines can be beneficial in controlling or limiting the

31、effect of stray currents such as telluric currents, currents associated with an electric traction system, or currents from nearby structures under CP. SP0286-2007 2 NACE International _ Section 4: Methods of Isolation 4.1 Electrically isolating devices may be specially manufactured or prefabricated.

32、 It may be possible for existing fittings to be retrofitted with isolating materials to serve as isolating devices. Selection of the type of isolating device depends on the mechanical forces due to its position in the system, the operating temperature range, pressure constraints, and other considera

33、tions. Provisions should be made for the connection of test wires for testing these isolating devices. 4.2 Flanges 4.2.1 A bolted pair of pipeline flanges may be converted into an electrically isolating device by inserting an isolating gasket between the flanges and isolating sleeves over the shanks

34、 of the bolts, and placing isolating washers under the external steel washers to isolate the bolts (see Figures 1a and 1b). Isolating gaskets may have diameters equal to or greater than the outside diameter of the flanges, or they may fit within the bolt circle of the flange faces or into the groove

35、 of ring-type joint flanges. Isolating sleeves (around bolts) and washers (over bolts and under nuts and bolt heads) may also be combined as one-piece units. In some underground applications, the nuts and bolts may be isolated from one flange only so that CP will also protect all bolts and nuts. In

36、some applications, isolating flanges are required to be pressure tested after assembly. When isolating flanges are being considered for use below ground, special consideration should be given to the installation (see Paragraph 7.2.5). If circumstances indicate that this type of installation would no

37、t be effective, an alternative device should be used. FIGURE 1a: Full-Length Bolt Sleeves This figure shows the use of full-length bolt sleeves. FIGURE 1b: Half-Length Bolt Sleeves This figure shows the use of half-length bolt sleeves. SP0286-2007 NACE International 3 4.3 Prefabricated Isolating Joi

38、nts 4.3.1 Pressure and electrical test certificates should be provided with any specially manufactured isolating joints. Unless the isolating device is pressure tested as part of the pipeline system, a pressure test certificate may be required in order to comply with applicable codes. These codes in

39、clude Parts 192 and 195 of U.S. Department of Transportation(1)Regulations,5 ANSI(2) B31.3,6 ANSI B31.4,7and ANSI B31.8.84.3.2 Isolating monolithic joints for pressure services over 1,000 kPa(3)(150 psi) (see Figure 2) consist of a pair of hubs on short pipe lengths; one hub is extended at its perip

40、hery by a barrel that overlaps the other hub. The two sections are aligned with the isolating materials and held in position with a large compressive force that is locked by welding, wedging, or swaging and is pressure sealed. These units do not include any threaded components and cannot be disassem

41、bled on site. 4.3.3 Isolating monolithic joints for pressure services below 1,000 kPa (150 psi) are generally one of two types. One type consists of short lengths of pipe. The end of one length is enlarged and its internal surface serrated. An isolating sleeve bonded to the external serrated surface

42、 of the other pipe fits into the enlarged pipe, which is swaged to hold the assembly in position. The second type (see Figure 3) is similar to the higher-pressure joint described in Paragraph 3.3.2.

The two hubs are sealed using O-rings and isolating rings or spacers. The hubs are held together under pressure

45、by an encircling yoke clamped by bolts through lugs that are normally tack welded. FIGURE 4: Typical Isolating Yoke-Type Device 4.3.5 Prefabricated isolating flanges are factory assembled isolating devices that are welded to a short pipe length with welded or screwed end preparations. 4.4 Unions (se

46、e Figure 5) An isolating union consists of two flanged bodies screwed onto the end of each connecting pipe. One flanged end is externally threaded, and the joint is held in position by a nut that is electrically isolated from the other end. The pressure seal may be achieved by using a molded seal or

47、 a gasket between mating faces. 4.5 Spools (see Figure 6) An isolating spool for pipelines carrying fluids may be made either by inserting a long piece of nonmetallic pipe into a piping system or by inserting a long piece of metallic pipe into the pipeline in combination with one or two of the devic

48、es described in Paragraphs 3.2 through 3.6. One of the isolating devices described in those paragraphs may also be used with an extended pipe length that has a high-electrical-resistance lining bonded to the isolating flange or joint and to the inside of the extended pipe length.
