Do you know the corrosion mechanism of 3PE-coated steel pipes?
Release time:
2022-04-13
The corrosion of 3PE-coated steel pipes is caused by galvanic corrosion, which arises from the potential difference between electrodes. When a metal undergoes an electrochemical reaction, the region with the lower electrode potential readily loses electrons, becoming the anode. Conversely, the region with the higher electrode potential gains electrons, becoming the cathode. In the presence of O2 and H2, ferrous hydroxide (Fe(OH)2) forms hydrated iron oxide—commonly known as rust—a loose, flaky substance that floats on the surface of the steel and offers no protection. As the anodic reaction of the metal continues, corrosion persists, leading to pitting and perforation on the surface of the liquefied petroleum gas pipeline. TPEP-coated steel pipes utilize a two-component, air-curing coating, and the pipe surface is reinforced with glass cloth.
3PE anti-corrosion steel pipe The corrosion reaction is caused by the galvanic cell formed due to the potential difference between electrodes. When a metal undergoes an electrochemical reaction, the portion with the lower electrode potential readily loses electrons, becoming the anode. The portion with the higher electrode potential gains electrons, thus becoming the cathode. In the presence of O2 and H2, iron(II) hydroxide (Fe(OH)2) forms hydrated iron oxide—commonly known as rust—a loose substance that floats on the steel surface and offers no protection. As the anodic reaction of the metal continues, corrosion persists, leading to pitting and perforation on the surface of liquefied petroleum gas pipelines. TPEP anti-corrosion steel pipes utilize a two-component, air-curing coating, and the steel pipe surface is reinforced with glass cloth.
3PE anti-corrosion steel pipes can be used for external corrosion protection of oil, gas, water, and thermal pipelines in land reclamation projects and underwater applications. They are also suitable for corrosion protection of various steel structures, docks, ships, sluice gates, gas storage tanks, and refineries and petrochemical plants, as well as for waterproofing sewage ponds, roof waterproofing layers, and basement concrete structures to prevent leakage. These pipes can be used in conjunction with fiberglass cloth applied over the pipe’s outer coating to create reinforced or additionally reinforced anti-corrosion coatings. The 34 oil-resistant steel pipe consists of a coating and fiberglass cloth, which enhances the mechanical performance of the anti-corrosion coating. The three-grade silicone oil boasts excellent electrical insulation properties, water resistance, resistance to microbial erosion, resistance to stray currents, heat resistance, and resistance to sudden temperature changes.

The three-step silicone oil boasts excellent electrical insulation properties, water resistance, resistance to microbial corrosion, resistance to stray currents, heat resistance, and resistance to sudden temperature changes. The base layer of the anti-corrosion steel pipe is epoxy resin, the intermediate layer is rubber, and the outer layer is a polyethylene pipe. On the inner wall of TPTP anti-corrosion steel pipes, an epoxy powder is sprayed. At high temperatures, the powder melts and coats the pipe surface, forming a steel-plastic alloy layer. Molten epoxy powder-coated steel pipes are available in single-layer and double-layer configurations. In contrast, double-layer molten epoxy powder is an ideal anti-corrosion coating. The construction principle involves using a single-layer molten epoxy powder as the primer and a modified molten epoxy powder as the outer protective layer, thereby enhancing the performance of the anti-corrosion coating and meeting the requirements for resistance to high-temperature penetration and high-temperature impact. The compatibility between single-layer welded epoxy powder anti-rust paint and the cathodic protection layer has been studied.
