Anti-corrosion methods for large-diameter anti-corrosion steel pipes
Release time:
2021-12-14
Coating-based corrosion protection is generally the primary method used for large-diameter anti-corrosion steel pipes. If you'd like to learn more about anti-corrosion coatings for large-diameter steel pipes, don't miss the following information. Coating-based corrosion protection for large-diameter steel pipes involves evenly applying a layer of paint onto the surface of rusted metal pipes, thereby isolating them from various corrosive media. This is one of the fundamental methods for steel pipe corrosion prevention. With advancements in technology, an increasing number of large-diameter anti-corrosion steel pipe materials and composite structures are being used as corrosion-resistant coatings, as these materials and structures offer superior dielectric properties, physical performance, stable chemical characteristics, and broad temperature adaptability compared to conventional materials. To prevent corrosion inside pipelines, reduce frictional resistance, and increase production efficiency, a thin film is applied to the inner wall of the pipeline. Typically, amine-cured epoxy resins and polyamide epoxy resins are used as anti-corrosion materials, with coating thicknesses ranging from 0.038 to 0.2 millimeters. The inner wall of the pipe must undergo surface treatment to ensure that the coating adheres firmly to the pipe wall. Since the 1970s, interior and exterior wall coatings have often used the same materials, allowing them to be applied simultaneously. To minimize heat loss from small-diameter crude oil or fuel oil pipelines made of large-diameter anti-corrosion steel pipes into the surrounding soil, an insulating and anti-corrosion composite layer is typically added externally to the pipeline as a thermal insulation layer. Rigid polyurethane foam, which is soft in texture and suitable for temperatures ranging from -185 to 95 degrees Celsius, is commonly used as the standard thermal insulation material. Additionally, to enhance its strength, a high-density polyethylene layer is usually added on top of the insulation layer, forming a composite structure that effectively prevents groundwater from seeping into the insulation layer. If the outer protective casing of a large-diameter anti-corrosion steel pipe is made of polyethylene, no additional anti-corrosion treatment is generally required. Polyethylene is odorless and non-toxic, feels waxy to the touch, and boasts excellent low-temperature resistance (operating temperatures can range down to -70 to 100 degrees Celsius). It has good chemical stability, resisting corrosion by most acids and bases (anti-oxidation), is insoluble in common solvents at room temperature, and exhibits low water absorption. However, since it is a linear molecule, it can slowly dissolve in certain organic solvents without swelling, and it also possesses outstanding electrical insulation properties.

To prevent corrosion inside pipelines, reduce frictional resistance, and increase production, a thin film is applied to the inner walls of the pipelines. Generally, anti-corrosion materials used include amine-cured epoxy resins and polyamide-modified epoxy resins. The coating thickness typically ranges from 0.038 to 0.2 millimeters. The inner surface of the pipeline must undergo thorough surface treatment to ensure that the coating adheres firmly to the pipe wall. Since 1970, interior and exterior coatings have often employed the same materials, allowing them to be used simultaneously for both internal and external surfaces.
To reduce heat loss from small-diameter pipelines carrying heat-transfer crude oil or fuel oil in large-diameter corrosion-resistant steel pipes to the surrounding soil, an insulated and anticorrosive composite layer is typically added externally to the pipeline as a thermal insulation barrier. Rigid polyurethane foam—characterized by its soft texture and suitable operating temperature range of -185°C to 95°C—will serve as the conventional thermal insulation material. Meanwhile, to enhance its mechanical strength, a high-density polyethylene layer is usually applied over the insulation layer, forming a composite structure that effectively prevents groundwater from seeping into the insulation layer.
If the outer protective pipe of a large-diameter anti-corrosion steel pipe is made of polyethylene, corrosion protection is generally not required. Polyethylene is odorless and non-toxic, feels waxy to the touch, and boasts excellent low-temperature resistance—its operating temperature can range as low as -70°C to 100°C. It has the advantage of good chemical stability, enabling it to withstand corrosion by most acids and bases (oxidation resistance). At room temperature, it is insoluble in common solvents, has a low water absorption rate, and yet, being a linear molecule, it can slowly dissolve in certain organic solvents without swelling. Additionally, it exhibits outstanding electrical insulation properties.
