The high-temperature prefabricated direct-buried heat preservation pipe is composed of steel pipe, glass fiber reinforced plastic inner sheath, and glass fiber reinforced plastic shell. It is characterized by that it also includes a high temperature resistant thermal insulation layer, a lubricating layer, and elastic seals. The utility model effectively solves the problems of heat preservation, sliding lubrication and waterproofing of the exposed pipe ends of the prefabricated direct-buried heat preservation pipe used for high temperature heat transmission at 130°C to 600°C in central heating. The high-temperature prefabricated direct-buried insulation pipe is mainly composed of four parts.

(1) Working steel pipe: Seam steel pipe, seamless steel pipe, double-sided submerged arc spiral welded steel pipe are used according to the technical requirements of the conveying medium.

(2) Insulation layer: use rigid polyurethane foam.

(3) Protective shell: use high-density polyethylene or glass fiber reinforced plastic.

(4) Leakage alarm line: When manufacturing high-temperature prefabricated direct-buried insulation pipes, an alarm line is embedded in the insulation layer close to the steel pipe. Once a leak occurs in a certain part of the pipe, the alarm line can be used in the special detection instrument The upper alarm will show the exact location of the water leakage and the extent of the leakage, so that maintenance personnel can be notified to quickly deal with the leaking pipe section and ensure the safe operation of the heating network.

Advantages

1. Reduce project cost. According to calculations by relevant departments, dual-pipe heating pipes can generally reduce the project cost by about 25% (using FRP as a protective layer) and 10% (using high-density polyethylene as a protective layer).
2. Low heat loss and energy saving. The thermal conductivity of the high-temperature prefabricated direct-buried thermal insulation pipe is: λ=0.013-0.03kcal/m•h•oC, which is much lower than other commonly used pipeline thermal insulation materials in the past, and the thermal insulation effect is increased by 4 to 9 times. Moreover, its water absorption rate is very low, about 0.2kg/m2. The reason for the low water absorption rate is that the closed cell rate of polyurethane foam is as high as about 92%. Low thermal conductivity and low water absorption, coupled with insulation layer and high-density polyethylene or glass fiber reinforced plastic protective shell with good waterproof performance, has changed the traditional "worn jacket" condition of heating pipes laid in trenches, and greatly reduced the heat supply pipes. The overall heat loss, the heat loss of the heating network is 2%, which is less than the international standard requirement of 10%.
3. Anti-corrosion, good insulation performance and long service life. The high-temperature prefabricated direct-buried insulation pipe is tightly bonded to the outer skin of the steel pipe due to the polyurethane rigid foam insulation layer, which isolates the infiltration of air and water, and can play a good anti-corrosion effect. At the same time, its foaming cells are closed, and the water absorption is very small. Both HDPE shell and FRP shell have good anti-corrosion, insulation and mechanical properties. Therefore, the outer skin of the working steel pipe is hard to be corroded by outside air and water. As long as the internal water quality of the pipeline is treated well, according to foreign information, the service life of high-temperature prefabricated direct-buried insulation pipes can reach more than 50 years, which is 3 to 4 times longer than the service life of traditional trench laying and overhead laying.
4. It occupies a small area, and the construction is fast, which is beneficial to environmental protection. Directly buried heating pipelines do not need to build huge trenches, but only need to bury thermal insulation pipes underground, thus greatly reducing the project area, reducing the amount of earth excavation by more than 50%, and reducing the amount of civil masonry and concrete by 90%. At the same time, insulation pipe processing and on-site trenching are performed in parallel, and only on-site joints are required, which can shorten the construction period by more than 50%.

5. Safety: All high-temperature prefabricated direct-buried insulation pipes produced outside of China are equipped with a leakage alarm line. Once a leak occurs in a certain part of the pipeline, the transmission of the alarm line can indicate the leakage of the insulation pipe on the special detection instrument. , The exact location of the water leakage and the size of the degree of leakage, so as to notify the inspector to quickly deal with the leaking pipe section and ensure the safe operation of the heating pipe network. In short, the high-temperature prefabricated direct-buried thermal insulation pipe not only has advanced technology and practical performance that are incomparable with traditional trenches and overhead pipelines, but also has significant social and economic benefits, and is also a powerful measure for heating and energy saving. The use of directly buried heating pipeline technology indicates that the development of China's heating pipeline technology has entered a new starting point. With the further improvement and development of this advanced technology, it is imperative to directly bury heating pipelines to replace trenches and overhead。

Steel pipe polypropylene 3PP anti-corrosion

2PP/3PP Anti-corrosion Steel Pipe Specifications: Φ89mm–Φ3200mm Material: Q235B, Q345B, 10# Steel, 20# Steel, Grades X42–X80 Standards: SY/T7041-2016, DIN30678 Advantages of the Anti-corrosion Coating The three-layer polyethylene anti-corrosion coating combines the excellent properties of both epoxy coatings and extruded polyethylene coatings. It integrates the interfacial characteristics and chemical resistance of epoxy coatings with the mechanical protection features of extruded polyethylene coatings, significantly enhancing the performance of each component. Therefore, it serves as an outstanding external protective layer for buried pipelines. According to relevant data, the three-layer PE coating can extend the service life of buried pipelines up to 50 years and is currently recognized internationally as one of the most advanced pipeline external anti-corrosion technologies. In 3PE anti-corrosion systems, the three-layer PE coating has been first applied in oil and gas systems. The Shaanxi-Beijing natural gas pipeline and the Kuerle-Shanshan oil pipeline—both already completed in China—along with the nearly 4,000-kilometer West-to-East Gas Pipeline project, all utilize the three-layer PE external anti-corrosion coating. Additionally, the 67-kilometer high-pressure pipeline from Shaanxi to Tianjin, the 30-kilometer outer ring high-pressure natural gas pipeline, and the 122-kilometer pipeline of the Shaanxi-Beijing underground gas storage facility also employ the three-layer PE coating. As such, the three-layer PE coating has become the leading direction for the future development of external anti-corrosion coatings for pipelines. Applications: The product is widely used in oil pipelines, natural gas pipelines, heating pipelines, and water supply pipelines. Application Scope: Currently, China has not yet established an industry standard for 3PP coatings. Therefore, the 3PP anti-corrosion pipelines produced generally follow the German standard DIN30678 “Polypropylene Coatings for Steel Pipelines.” The 3PP coating is primarily used as an anti-corrosion layer for pipelines transporting media at relatively high temperatures, as well as for pipelines located in desert regions characterized by high surface temperatures and prolonged sunlight exposure. Consequently, it has gained increasingly widespread application on buried water, gas, and oil pipelines in areas with high surface temperatures and long periods of sunlight.

Polyurea anti-corrosion coating for steel pipes

The future development of polyurea-coated anti-corrosion steel pipes: Polyurea coatings represent the international trend in next-generation anti-corrosion technology. Currently, major pipeline companies worldwide have adopted polyurea anti-corrosion coatings—for instance, the oil pipelines in Alaska, USA; the Gulf oil pipeline in Indonesia; the Siberian oil pipeline in Russia; and the water transmission pipelines in Kuwait—all of which use polyurea as their anti-corrosion coating. Superiorities of Polyurea-Coated Anti-Corrosion Steel Pipes: Polyurea-coated anti-corrosion steel pipe materials exhibit excellent construction performance when used for pipeline joints. Typically, straight pipe sections are prefabricated in the factory, while joints are connected on-site via spray application. After polyurea treatment, the pipeline maintains outstanding continuity and integrity, ensuring that the entire pipeline system is completely sealed with no seams, thereby guaranteeing its overall anti-corrosion performance and ultra-long service life. Key Features of Polyurea-Coated Anti-Corrosion Steel Pipes: Fast curing speed, allowing for seamless application on vertical and curved surfaces without sagging; excellent corrosion resistance, capable of withstanding erosion by most chemical media; superior physical properties, providing strong adhesion to metal substrates; 100% solid content, non-polluting, and environmentally friendly; seamless coating, completely eliminating the risk of leakage points. Main Applications of Polyurea-Coated Anti-Corrosion Steel Pipes: Overhead pipelines, directly buried pipelines, oil pipelines, gas pipelines, municipal sewage pipelines, and various types of steel pipelines—both internal and external wall anti-corrosion. Future Development of Polyurea-Coated Anti-Corrosion Steel Pipes: Polyurea coatings represent the international trend in next-generation anti-corrosion technology. Currently, major pipeline companies worldwide have adopted polyurea anti-corrosion coatings—for instance, the oil pipelines in Alaska, USA; the Gulf oil pipeline in Indonesia; the Siberian oil pipeline in Russia; and the water transmission pipelines in Kuwait—all of which use polyurea as their anti-corrosion coating. According to international standards, all underground metal pipelines employ a combined protection approach involving an anti-corrosion coating and cathodic protection. Among these, the pipeline anti-corrosion coating serves as the primary barrier. The 3PE anti-corrosion coating, which integrates the advantages of high-density polyethylene wrapping and fusion-bonded epoxy powder, is now widely used. However, its main drawback—the unresolved issue of joint repairs—remains a challenge. The heat-shrink sleeves currently used do not match well with the 3PE coating, significantly reducing the service life of the system.
