Inside

Inside ceramic tiles

It is important to note that expansion joints are not limited to ceramic tiles alone. They are also used in other applications, such as in pipework systems and ducts, where ceramic lined pipe expansion joints are designed to absorb dimensional changes caused by heat-induced expansion.

When installing ceramic tiles, it is crucial to consider the proper placement of expansion joints. Guidelines suggest that grout lines must be wide and proportional to the size of the tiles, and expansion joints in the tiling must also be calculated accordingly.

Ceramic tile lined expansion joints are used to accommodate the movement and expansion of ceramic tile surfaces, preventing cracks and damage. They can be installed in various ways, such as creating gaps between tiles or toothed around the tiles in an offset-bond pattern.

Features of Ceramic Tile Lined Pipes

Steel-shell composite pipes with high-alumina ceramic tile lining for extreme wear conditions.

Ceramic tile lined pipe is a composite product developed by integrating advanced domestic and international technologies. It consists of a steel outer shell and an inner lining of high-alumina ceramic tiles, delivering exceptional wear resistance and long service life.

Anti-dislodgement ceramic tiles are precisely positioned and bonded with a high-strength inorganic adhesive, then further secured by wear-resistant steel stud welding. This dual-reinforcement method ensures that the ceramic tiles remain firmly attached under severe operating conditions. The product offers flexible installation, excellent wear performance, convenient fabrication and moderate cost.


High Hardness

High-alumina ceramics achieve a Rockwell hardness of HRA 80–90, second only to diamond and far superior to wear-resistant steel and stainless steel.


Excellent Wear Resistance

The wear resistance of high-alumina ceramics is approximately 266 times that of manganese steel and 171.5 times that of high-chromium cast iron. Field investigations and customer feedback confirm that equipment service life can be extended by more than 10 times under identical operating conditions.


Corrosion Resistance

High-alumina ceramics are inorganic oxides with an extremely stable molecular structure and no electrochemical corrosion mechanism. They resist attack from acids, alkalis, salt solutions and organic solvents, making them suitable for chemically aggressive environments.


Thermostability

High-alumina ceramic linings can operate continuously at temperatures up to 1,400°C, making them suitable for high-temperature flue gas, ash handling and furnace applications.


Good Self-Lubricity

High-alumina ceramics exhibit excellent self-lubricating properties and low surface adhesion. The surface roughness is only 1/6 that of steel pipes, resulting in significantly lower flow resistance and reduced material buildup.


Light Weight

The density of high-alumina ceramics is approximately 3.6 g/cm³, about half that of steel. This significantly reduces the overall weight of the piping system, making transportation, handling and installation easier and more cost-effective.

The perfect choice Resistance to abrasion is superior to all material available on the market

Metals have good ductility but poor resistance to abrasion - which means that abrasion prevention is required when metal pipes are used in high-temperature fluid catalyst service. On the other hand, ceramics possess great hardness and abrasion resistance, but they are brittle. Metal Ceramic double pipe is a hybrid pipe using metal as an outer pipe and a ceramic material for inner pipe segments, applied together to utilize the two materials' advantages. Hence excellent wear-resistance and good corrosion resistance of the ceramics and high strength and toughness of metal can be well combined to get a comprehensive advantage of wear-resistance, corrosion-resistance and anti-scaling. They are suitable for applications in heavy wear working conditions.

Ceramics are among the hardest materials available and provide ultimate wear resistance in piping. In high wear applications, ceramic lined pipes have been demonstrated to be cost-effective by increasing service life and reducing maintenance costs. Sunny Steel supply ceramic lined abrasion resistant steel pipes to your custom dimensions and budget. Our ceramic linings are the highest quality materials available to ensure that we provide the most cost-effective solutions for our clients.
