Basalt lined pipes
for Japanese steel plants
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 can be used for the lining of pipework, chutes, bunkers, cyclones, and hoppers.
It has become the global standard in areas such as ash slurry pipework, often used at fossil-fuel power stations. It is an all-round cost-effective and adaptable lining material that extends the life of equipment in pipe or tile form where affected by erosion.
Cast basalt is well-proven in a variety of industries as a cost-effective, long-lasting lining material used to extend the operating life of equipment manufactured or lined with lower-wearing materials such as steel, cast iron, rubber, and polyurethane.
Cast basalt lined steel pipe, as both a wear—resistant and corrosion—resistant materials, the transport properties of wear or corrosion of materials, after thirty years of practical verification, cast basalt lined steel pipe can be well done.
Cast basalt is also used in cement plants for making air separators, chain conveyor, silica hoppers, nozzles, coal hoppers, cement hoppers, cyclones, raw mill ducts, chutes, thick slurry lines, mixers, grate cooler housing, coal ventury etc.

Ceramic lined pipe is made through self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) technique.
Cast basalt lined steel pipe is composed by lined with cast basalt pipe, outside steel pipe and cement mortar filling between the two layers.
Ceramic tile lined pipes have very uniform coating of specially formulated ceramic material that is affixed to the inner of the pipe.
The material of the rare earth alloy wear-resistant pipe is ZG40CrMnMoNiSiRe, which is also the grade of rare earth alloy steel.
Tubes Erosion Shields are used to protect boiler tubing from the highly erosive effects of high temperatures and pressures thereby greatly extending tube life.
The ASTM A213 T91 seamless tubes are primarily used for boiler, superheater, and heat-exchanger.
