Anti rust process

Some anti-corrosion methods include painting, covering, and electroplating.

Anti-corrosion coatings act as a barrier layer that prohibits or slows down the formation of corrosion on the underlying metal surface of the carbon steel pipe. By preventing external corrosion with the use of either single or multi-layer anti-corrosion coatings, it ensures precious natural resources and other products reach their destination safely and efficiently.

Anti-corrosion steel pipe is processed through the preservation process, which can effectively prevent or slow down the process in the transport and use of chemical or electrochemical corrosion reaction of steel pipe.

Steel surface treatment

Steel surface treatment is mainly for anti - rust, and the following is the anti - rust process:

First step: Clean the steel surface using a cleaning solvent emulsion. This is to remove oil, grease, dust, lubricants, and similar organic matter. However, it cannot remove rust, oxides, or soldering agents on the steel surface.

Second step: Use rust - removing tools. You need to use a wire brush to remove loose or flaking oxides, rust, and slag. To achieve the desired rust - removing effect, the type of abrasive should be selected based on the original corrosion degree of the steel surface, the required surface roughness, and the coating. For an epoxy layer or two - or three - layer polyethylene coating, using a mixed abrasive of grit and steel shot for blasting is more likely to achieve the desired effect.

Third step: Perform pickling. Generally, chemical and electrolytic pickling are two methods. Using only chemical pickling can cause pipeline corrosion. Although chemical cleaning can achieve a certain level of surface cleanliness and roughness, it causes some environmental pollution.

FAQ FAQ

The Importance of Anti-Corrosion Coatings for Carbon Steel Pipes

When it comes to transporting precious natural resources or other essential products, the integrity of the pipes used plays a pivotal role. Carbon steel pipes, widely utilized in various industries, are susceptible to corrosion over time. This is where anti-corrosion coatings step in as the frontline defense, ensuring the longevity and reliability of the pipes.

Anti-corrosion steel pipe is processed through the preservation process, which can effectively prevent or slow down the process in the transport and use of chemical or electrochemical corrosion reaction of steel pipe.

Anti - Corrosion Coatings

Anti - corrosion coatings serve as a protective shield against the relentless forces of corrosion that can compromise the structural integrity of carbon steel pipes. These coatings act as a robust barrier layer, strategically designed to inhibit or significantly slow down the formation of corrosion on the metal surface.

In the realm of carbon steel pipes, the battle against corrosion is ongoing. Anti - corrosion coatings emerge as the frontline warriors, safeguarding the structural integrity of pipes and ensuring that resources and products reach their destinations without compromise.

Coating Specifications

Three Layer Polyethylene (3LPE)

To improve anticorrosion performance and adhesion, an additional layer of epoxy primer is sprayed onto pipe surfaces prior to the adhesive layer and Polyethylene top - layer application. Three Layer Polyethylene is suitable for service temperatures from 60°C to 80°C (85°C peaks). Typical coating thickness is from 1 - 2 mm to 3 - 5 mm.


Three Layer Polypropylene (3LPP)

If a wider service temperature range and high stiffness is required, adhesive and top layers, applied over the primer layer, are based on polypropylene instead of polyethylene. Three Layer Polypropylene is suitable for service temperatures up to 135 °C (140°C peaks). Typical coating thickness is from 1 - 2 mm to 3 - 5 mm.


Three Layer Polypropylene and Polyethylene

Three - Layer applications involve a thermoplastic coating applied to steel pipelines as a form of anticorrosion protection. This mechanical resistance is appropriate when the risk of particularly severe coating damages exists. The Three - Layer process involves several steps. First, the pipe surface is blast - cleaned to remove any external residue from the mill or storage. It is then heated and sprayed with a Fusion Bond Epoxy (FBE) primer followed by the application of an adhesive copolymer and polyolefin polymers that are wrap - extruded, one over the other.

ERW pipe coating

ERW Pipe coating

Pipeline coating is the most consistent and successful solution for protecting ERW pipes from corrosion, from moisture, other harmful chemicals.

Therefore pipe anti-corrosion layer is an important barrier to prevent soil erosion. A well-known foreign scholar put forward" 3PE france protective layer", so far, anti-corrosion methods is widely used.

Coated pipes offer high resistance to corrosion on pipes and provide many benefits such as:

1. Increased Flow Capacity – A coating on pipes helps provide a smoother surface thus improving gas and liquid flow within pipes.

2. Reduced Cost – The pipeline coating increases the pipes durability so they can be deployed with minimum maintenance cost even in the harshest environments.

3. Lower energy usage – Various studies have shown that pipelines that are internally coated use less energy for pumping and compression of products through pipes. This helps in increased saving over time.

4. Clean delivery of products – The inhibitors used for the protection products can also be minimized by the use of coated pipes for delivery of products.

Thus, coating of pipelines can help you in reducing your maintenance cost and at the same time providing a corrosion free reliable protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
The coil used for production has lower alloy content than similar steel plates, which brings better weldability. Besides, the rolling direction of the coil is not perpendicular to the pipe axis, so the finished pipe owns excellent crack resistance.
Welded steel pipe is a seamed steel product manufactured by bending steel strip or steel plate into round, square or other shapes and then welding. Its raw materials are steel sheets or strips. With the development of strip rolling, welding and inspection technology, welded pipes have richer specifications and more reliable quality.
Nickel and chromium are key elements for anti-corrosion performance. Higher nickel content provides stronger resistance against acid environments such as sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid. Adding chromium alone can also effectively prevent corrosion.
Poor edge condition of steel strip, irregular shape and dimensional deviation at the head and tail of uncut steel strip will lead to hard bending of the strip and further cause weld misalignment. This defect may result in product downgrade.
General technical requirements and inspection rules follow GB3092 Welded Steel Pipes for Low-Pressure Fluid Transmission. Hydrostatic test complies with relevant pressure regulations, and eddy current flaw detection is implemented according to GB7735 Steel Tube Eddy Current Flaw Detection Inspection Method.
Defects like folds, cracks, delamination and lap welding are strictly prohibited. Minor scratches, weld misalignment, burns and scars that do not exceed wall thickness negative deviation are acceptable. Wall thickening and inner weld beads at welding seams are also permitted.
Welded pipes shall undergo mechanical property test, flattening test and flaring test. They must withstand a 2.5Mpa hydrostatic pressure test for 1 minute without leakage. Eddy current flaw detection can be used as an alternative to hydrostatic test.
Qualified pipes are cut to fixed length by flying saw, then transported via turning frame. Both pipe ends are chamfered and flattened, marked clearly, and finally bundled into hexagonal bundles for delivery.
The weld seam of straight seam steel pipe is parallel to the pipe longitudinal direction. It can adopt narrow blanks to produce large-diameter pipes, and the same-width blanks can make pipes of different diameters. Its disadvantage is longer weld seam and lower production efficiency compared with spiral welded pipe.
There are four mainstream processing methods: Forging, Extrusion, Rolling and Steel Drawing. Forging uses impact or pressure to shape steel; Extrusion is widely used for non-ferrous metal pipes; Rolling reduces cross-section by roller compression; Steel Drawing is mainly applied to cold working to narrow pipe diameter and extend length.
Surface quenching and tempering generally adopt induction heating or flame heating. Local quenching can also be realized by induction heating for parts requiring partial high hardness.
Vickers hardness tester is commonly used. Rockwell hardness tester is also available: use HRA scale when hardened layer thickness is 0.4-0.8mm, and HRC scale when thickness exceeds 0.8mm. For shallow hardened layers, superficial Rockwell hardness tester with HRN scale is recommended.
Yes. Vickers, Rockwell and superficial Rockwell hardness values can be converted to one another. Corresponding conversion tables are provided in ISO, ASTM and GB/T standards.
