In the proposed method, a protective sleeve is plastically deformed to dimensions enabling the shape of the sleeve to correspond to the shape of the interior surface of the pipes to be joined in the joint region. The deformed sleeve is installed inside the pipes to be joined such that an annular cavity is formed between the sleeve and the region of the welded joint together with the adjacent portions of the pipes protected by a coating. The ends of the pipes are joined by welding and the annular cavity is hermetically sealed at the ends of the sleeve. Once sealed, the cavity is evacuated and, via working apertures in one or both of the pipes to be joined, the annular cavity is filled with a liquid sealing material, which is then polymerized. During installation of the protective sleeve, a steel cushioning ring can additionally be positioned between the sleeve and the welded joint, wherein the outside surface of said cushioning ring contacts with the surface of the welded joint and the inside surface of the cushioning ring is provided with projections which contact with the outside surface of the sleeve. As the joint is welded, the ends of the pipes are welded to the steel cushioning ring. The technical result is more reliable and durable corrosion protection of a welded pipe joint. |
