6. Container crimps heat sealing
To encapsulate crimps with a heat shrink sleeve, (see IPL for part numbers),
the following procedures should be observed:
6.1 Slide the strap through the heat-shrink sleeve. Keep the strap ID tag as
close as possible to the crimp. The maximum installed separation between
these is 10 mm, (FIGURE 841).
6.2 Apply the tensioning tool to the strap at a point half way across the two rims.
Operate the handle to tension the strap until the base of the tensioning tool
rests in the lower container rim. Secure the strap with a crimp, (FIGURE
841).
NOTE:
The sleeve should be sitting loose in this temporary
location. It must not be snagged against the container
and strap or between the crimp and strap.
6.3 Using scissors, carefully trim off the tail of the strap as close as possible
to the crimp, but do not trim off the strap ID tag. The maximum distance
permitted between the end of the tail and the crimp is 15 mm.
6.4 Fold the strap ID tag back on itself and slide the heat-shrink sleeve over it.
This will hold the folded back tag temporarily in place.
CAUTION:
USE THE CORRECT HEAT SHRINK TOOL (SEE CHAPTER
10).
CAUTION:
A HEAT SETTING GREATER THAN 6 WILL OVERHEAT
THE STRAP, WEAKENING IT IN THE PROCESS. DO NOT
TO OVERHEAT THE STRAP. DO NOT POINT HEAT GUN
DIRECTLY AT THE STRAP. IF ANY DISCOLOURATION IS
NOTED IN THE STRAP, IT HAS BEEN OVERHEATED. IN
THIS CASE IT MUST BE CUT OFF, DISCARDED AND A
REPLACEMENT FITTED.
WARNING:
USE EXTREME CARE WITH THE HEAT GUN. ALLOW
SUFFICIENT TIME FOR PARTS TO COOL, BEFORE HANDLING
DIRECTLY. HEAT GUN NOZZLE WILL REMAIN HOT AFTER
USE.
