本标准描述了由液体粘合剂和胶带组成的保护涂层及其在地下和水下管道用钢制水管和管件上的应用。符合本标准的胶带涂层可在不加热的情况下现场或车间应用于未涂覆的管道和配件，或作为有机涂层保护的管道和配件的连接涂层。这些液体粘合剂和胶带不适用于外露钢接头或直接在裸钢管上涂覆水泥砂浆或混凝土涂层的钢管段。

This standard describes protective coatings that consist of liquid adhesives and tapes and their applications to steel water pipe and fittings to be used for underground and underwater pipelines. Tape coatings conforming to this standard may be field- or shop-applied, without the use of heat (i.e., not hot-applied coatings), to uncoated pipe and fittings or as a joint coating to pipe and fittings protected with organic coatings. These liquid adhesives and tapes are not intended for use with either exposed steel joints or sections of steel pipe where coating of cement mortar or concrete has been applied directly onto the bare steel pipe.
