Thru-Kote Connection System
Thru-Kote is a welded connection system for joining internally coated line pipe and piping systems.

NOV Tuboscope Thru-Kote™ connection system uses a patented insert sleeve designed to protect the internal coating during the welding process.

During the welding process, heat generated within the pipe will burn back the internal plastic coating approximately 1 to 2 in. from the welding seam. Thru-Kote sleeves isolate the burn-back of the coating and protects the steel substrate.

Benefits

  • Isolates burn-back of internal coating behind the sleeve.
  • Backing ring and heat tape reduce excessive temperatures.
  • Holiday-free connection area.
  • X-ray compatible with API and ASME.
  • Compatible with Tube-Kote™ coatings.
  • Suitable for onshore and offshore applications.
  • Accommodates all configurations of piping systems.
  • Fast and flexible method of field construction.
Configurations

The Thru-Kote U.B™ sleeve is an unbelled connection system for 2- to 42-in. line pipe designed to protect internal coatings during welding.

Thru-Kote is a belled connection system allowing for a non-restricted inside diameter (ID).
