Cast basalt lined MS pipes offer a cost-effective wear resistant solution for industrial slurry and ash conveying systems.
MS pipe lined with cast basalt is a cost-effective wear resistant pipeline solution designed to upgrade standard mild steel pipes for abrasive industrial applications.
In many industrial systems, mild steel pipes are widely used due to their low cost and good mechanical strength, but they suffer from rapid wear when transporting abrasive materials such as slurry, ash, sand and mineral particles.
By adding a cast basalt lining, the internal surface is significantly hardened, dramatically improving wear resistance.
This solution is commonly used in mining, power plants, cement industries and dredging projects where cost control and durability must be balanced.
The basalt lining acts as a protective barrier while the MS pipe provides structural support and easy fabrication.
This makes it a widely adopted solution for industrial pipeline upgrades.
MS pipe lined with cast basalt is a composite pipe consisting of a mild steel outer shell and an internal cast basalt wear-resistant lining.
The MS pipe provides mechanical strength, while the basalt lining protects against abrasion and erosion from transported materials.
Mild steel pipes are economical but not suitable for long-term use in abrasive environments.
Continuous particle impact leads to wall thinning, leakage and frequent maintenance.
Cast basalt lining significantly extends service life and reduces lifecycle cost.
Cast basalt is a highly wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant lining material widely used in pipes, chutes, bunkers, cyclones, and hoppers.
Usage
Installation
Cast basalt has become the global standard for ash slurry pipelines in fossil-fuel power stations and other heavy industries. It significantly extends equipment service life in environments with severe abrasion and corrosion.
It is commonly used as a cost-effective lining material for steel, cast iron, rubber, or polyurethane equipment, offering 5–10 times longer service life than traditional materials.
Mild steel pipes are economical but not suitable for long-term use in abrasive environments.
Continuous particle impact leads to wall thinning, leakage and frequent maintenance.
Cast basalt lining significantly extends service life and reduces lifecycle cost.
