CANUSA
TBK XL-65
Directional Drilling Kit
Fiberglass Reinforced Sleeve System for
Directional Drilling
 Product Description
Canusa TBK-XL-65 Directional Drilling Kit
is a high-performance system designed to protect welded joints on 2 and
3-layer PE, PP and FBE coated pipelines in directional drills. The system
consists of two components: a heat-shrinkable sleeve which provides
corrosion protection at the joint; and an ultraviolet light curable
fiberglass protective overcoat. An optional epoxy primer is also available
for superior corrosion protection in 3-layer systems. The system 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 disbondment and is designed for a wide
range of operating temperatures.
Features & Benefits
- Long Term
Corrosion Protection: Canusa’s TBK-XL-65 -
Directional Drilling Kit provides superior corrosion
protection because of the protective shrink
sleeve/epoxy primer combination. It uses
Canusa GTS-65 as
the corrosion protective sleeve. This corrosion
protection sleeve provides excellent resistance to
cathodic disbondment and excellent durability
against abrasion and chemical attack. The result is
effective, long-term protection against corrosion.
- Superior Abrasion
Resistance: Canusa’s TBK-XL-65 - Directional
Drilling Kit utilizes an ultra-violet light curable
fiberglass. This reinforcement provides excellent
tensile and flexible strength, hardness and
resistance to impact. The inherent performance
properties
associated with the sleeve adhesive reduces damage
of the coating during pipeline installation and
provides excellent resistance to soil stresses and
pipe movements.
- Convenience:
The fiberglass can be cured with a simple,
hand-held, UV light. Epoxy primer is supplied in
kits with all tools required to apply the primer and
edge-coat. The convenient ready-to-mix epoxy
packaging minimizes installation time and labor
costs while promoting high production rates.

Kit Usage
|
 |
* Epoxy Kits Required. Uses the standard 170 mL
Canusa E Primer Kit and assumes a 300 mm (12”) cutback,
a 0.25 mm (10 mil) epoxy overcoat thickness, and a 0.15
mm (6 mil) mainline epoxy thickness covering (for
3-layer systems).
** UV FR is the ultra-violet curable fiberglass
reinforcement for TBK sleeves. The table has the cut
length required and number of TBKs possible per roll of
UV FR for standard pipe sizes.
Canusa E Primer
Properties:
Pot life @ 23°C (73°F): 20 minutes
Typical epoxy coated thickness: 4 - 6 mils
Shelf life @ 23°C, out of sunlight: 3 years |
|
Example: For a directional drilling application
of forty-eight (48) joints of 20” (610 mm) diameter
coated pipeline with a total cutback length of 12” (300
mm) and operating up to a maximum of 65°C, you will need
to order (at least) the following:
Corrosion protection sleeve: 48 @ GTS-65 610-450
BK
Epoxy for mainline: 48 x 4 = 192 @ E Primer 170
mL Kit
UV curable reinforcement: 48 ÷ 1 = 48 @ Canusa UV
FR 950-10 |
