Something you should know about pipeline anti-corrosion processing

The pipeline anti-corrosion processing generally refers to external coating and internal coating.The external coating is mainly used for anti-corrosion protection for liquid pipes before burying,and internal coating is mainly used to reduce the investment and maintenance costs.There are many ways,like petroleum asphalt,PE jacket and PE foam jacket,epoxy coal tar pitch,coal tar enamel,epoxy powder and three layer composite structure,epoxy coal tar pitch cold tape(PF type),rubber plastic epoxy coal tar pitch cold wrapping (RPC type) and so on.At present, the most widely used pipeline anti-corrosion methods are FBE,2PE/PP,3PE.(Types of pipeline coating and its advantage and disadvantage)

A-The more common external coating is FBE,2PE,3PE and so on.

1. Single-layer FBE coating

Characterized by excellent corrosion-proof performance, insulativity and relatively long service life, epoxy powder coating is one of the most advanced outer anticorrosive coating of pipeline. there are normal type and strengthened type. thickness normal type: 300-400μm,strength type: 400-500μm.

2. 2PE/2PP coating

Two-layer PE/PP coating is characterized by excellent corrosion-proof performance, insulativity, relatively long service life and mechanical damage resistance. there are normal type and strengthened type. the thickness varies with the specification shift of steel pipe: thickness min of normal type: 1.8 mm, thickness min of strengthened type: 2.5 mm.

3. 3PE/3PP Coating

Three-layer PE/PP coating is characterized by excellent corrosion –proof performance,insulativity,relatively long service life and mechanical damage resistance.It is widely used in coating for all kinds of major pipeline engineering. there are normal type and strengthened type the thickness varies with specification shift of steel pipe: thickness min of Normal type: 1.8 mm; thickness min of strengthened type: 2.5 mm.

We offer inside corrosion protection for DN 100-DN 1500 steel pipes, the paint designated by clients.
