Note1: calculations are provided for estimation only. Actual tape requirements may vary depending on application method, tape stretch, and surface conditions.

Note2: For estimating tape consumption, use an equivalent pipe length of 1.5 × pipe diameter for elbows and 2.8 × the largest branch diameter for tees. Examples:
  • 24″ Elbow = 1.5 m of 24″ pipe
  • 42″ × 24″ × 12″ Tee = 2.8 m of 42″ pipe
 
Note 3: you can find recommened tape width in below table

WRAPPING TAPES:

Wrapping tapes can be a suitable solution for covering underground pipes and pipelines to prevent corrosion of steel lines. These sleeves are known worldwide as a reliable solution.

1- Joint Wrap
2- Inner and Outer Warp (2PLY, 3PLY)
3- Primers

Recommended tape width dimension for Fittings and pipes.

Tape Widths (in)Pipe (NPS)Bends (NPS)Tee (NPS)Tape Lengths (m)
2Up to 3″Up to 8″Up to 12″10 to 60
4≥ 4″ – ≤ 8″10″ – 24″14″ & Over10 to 60
6≥ 10″ – ≤ 32″26″ & over——-10 to 60
10*36″ Over——-——-30 to 120

*Over 6 inch tapes can not hand applied and must wrap it with wrapping machine.

How to calculate wrapping tapes for pipeline?

The Wrapping tape Formula for pipeline

The standard formula to calculate the total length of tape required is:

Where:

D: Outside Diameter of the pipe.

L: Length of the section being wrapped.

W: Width of the wrapping tape.

w: Overlap width (the amount the tape covers the previous layer).

π: Constant approximately equal to 3.1415.

Recommended Overlapes.

ApplicationTypical Overlap (w)
Corrosion Protection50% to 55% (Double layer)
Thermal Insulation25% or 1-inch minimum
Mechanical Protection30% to 50%
