First, the advantages of epoxy powder coated steel pipes
1. Excellent environmental performance: The hot-dip plastic process used in plastic-coated steel pipes for drainage does not contain harmful substances and meets environmental protection requirements. At the same time, it is recyclable, which is conducive to the recycling of resources.
2. Easy installation: Plastic-coated steel pipes are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and have high compressive strength. No welding is required during installation, which greatly reduces installation difficulty and time.
3. Low maintenance costs: Plastic-coated steel pipes have good wear resistance, which can effectively extend the service life and reduce the number of maintenance times and costs.
Second, the wear resistance of epoxy powder-coated steel pipes
1. Compared with traditional steel pipes, epoxy powder-coated steel pipes have superior wear resistance. Because the surface of the inner plastic-coated steel pipe has been specially treated, it has good wear resistance and can effectively resist the erosion of chemical substances such as acids, alkalis, and salts, and prolongs its service life.
2. Epoxy powder-coated steel pipes will not wear out during transportation, thus reducing the number of repairs and costs of the pipeline system. At the same time, because the inner coating has good elasticity, it can buffer external impact and reduce the pressure loss of the pipeline system.
3. The wear resistance of epoxy powder-coated steel pipes is not affected by the internal medium of the pipeline system. Whether it is transporting media such as water, oil, or gas, plastic-coated steel pipes can maintain stable wear resistance.
Third, epoxy powder coated steel pipe anti-corrosion layer thickness standard
The thickness of the anti-corrosion layer of epoxy powder-coated steel pipes is mainly stipulated by the national standard “General Technical Conditions for Buried Steel Pipes” (GB/T 17306-1998). According to this standard, the thickness of the anti-corrosion layer should meet the following requirements:
1. For ordinary-level anti-corrosion layers, such as polyethylene (PE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and chlorinated polyethylene (PVC), the minimum thickness should be 0.7mm; for reinforced-level anti-corrosion layers, such as glass fiber For reinforced polyethylene (FRP), epoxy coal pitch (API) and epoxy ceramic (EPO), the minimum thickness should be 1.2mm.
2. In practical applications, due to the influence of factors such as the topography of the pipeline, soil type, groundwater level, etc., the thickness of the anti-corrosion layer needs to be adjusted according to specific conditions. Generally speaking, the thickness of the anti-corrosion layer should be clearly specified in the design documents.
Fourth, factors affecting the thickness of the anti-corrosion layer of epoxy powder-coated steel pipes
1. Environmental factors: Environmental temperature, humidity, soil pH, salinity, and other factors will affect the anti-corrosion effect of internal and external plastic-coated carbon steel pipes, thereby affecting the thickness of the anti-corrosion layer. Generally speaking, the worse the environmental factors, the greater the thickness of the anti-corrosion layer required.
2. Pipeline operating parameters: The pipeline’s transportation pressure, flow rate, temperature, and other parameters will affect the wear degree of the internal and external plastic-coated carbon steel pipes, thereby affecting the thickness of the anti-corrosion layer. Generally speaking, the higher the pipeline operating parameters, the greater the thickness of the anti-corrosion layer required.
3. Pipe laying method: The pipe laying method (such as direct burial, overhead, water pipe, etc.) will affect the contact area between the internal and external plastic-coated carbon steel pipes and the surrounding environment, thereby affecting the thickness of the anti-corrosion layer. Generally speaking, the more complex the laying method, the greater the thickness of the anti-corrosion layer required.
4. Construction quality: The thickness of the anti-corrosion layer of the internal and external plastic-coated carbon steel pipes is greatly affected by the construction quality. If there are missing coatings, thick coatings, etc. during the construction process, the thickness of the anti-corrosion layer will not meet the requirements. Therefore, the construction quality should be strictly controlled during the construction process.
Fifth, application fields of epoxy powder coated steel pipes
1. Petrochemical industry: used to transport various corrosive media, such as acid and alkali liquids, oil and gas, etc.
2. Electric power industry: used in power transmission and distribution lines as cable protection tubes.
3. Construction industry: used for water supply, drainage, ventilation, and other piping systems in buildings.
4. Industrial industry: used to transport various chemicals, gases, liquids, and other media.
5. Urban heating system: used to transport hot water and steam, with good thermal insulation performance.
