require aged samples of the coating system. Aging of the samples must be accomplished in two ways: according to
ISO 21809-3 Annex N (dry 100 days at +90C) and according to Shell shrink sleeve document MF95/0290-Rev 1
(immersion in water for 100 days at +90C). All tests on steel pipes will be conducted on carbon steel pipes with
100mm pipe diameter, in three fold.
