Description

bimetallic lined with high chrome alloy pipeThe bi-metal lined pipe combines the strength, corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the base pipe and the outer pipe.

Do you know what’s the cladding steel pipe used for?

It not only satisfies the special requirements, but also saves costs.
In a clad line pipe, the corrosion-resistant alloy forms a complete barrier layer on the internal surface of carbon or low-alloy steel pipe (usually referred to as the “backing steel”). In general, use of clad or bi-metal-lined pipe allows the economic use of expensive CRA materials,It has been widely concerned and used in many other fields abroad.

Features of High chromium cast iron pipes

The wear resistance of the high-chromium bimetallic lined pipe is at least many times that of ordinary steel pipes. The bimetallic composite steel pipe has inner and outer double layers of metal, the inner lining is made of wear-resistant cast iron, the inner lining material has good wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and the outer layer material has high mechanical strength and high impact resistance. The lost foam composite process is directly adopted, and the metallurgical composite is formed by casting, which is safe and reliable to use.

(3) centrifugal casting process has high flexibility for the production of steel pipes of small batch, multiple varieties and specifications, high quality and high value-added steel.

What is CRA Cladding?

CRA basically means corrosion resistant alloy.
It’s a material that is built for cladding because its main purpose is to enhance a pipe’s resistance to corrosion.

What is Elbow Cladding?

Pipe elbow cladding is the process of applying a cladding material to elbow pipes.
It’s done on a more careful manner than the usual.
This is because elbow pipes can change throughout the entirety of the process.

Where Can Pipe Cladding be Applied to?

Particularly, the process of pipe cladding benefits the oil and gas industry the most.

However, it can also be used by other industries such as:

  • Mining Industry
  • Aquamarine Industry
  • Manufacturing Industry
  • Fabrication Industry
  • And Other Industries That Have High Temperature and High Impact

What is Pipe Lining?

Pipe lining is the process of prolonging the lifespan of pipes.

It can also be used, however, to restore a pipe from natural damages such as:

  • Corrosion
  • Abrasion
  • Erosion
  • Leaks
  • And the Like

Lined Pipes vs. Clad Pipes

Pipe lining and pipe cladding are processes that are far from each other.

Lining is the process of mechanically bonding materials to pipes for restoration. Some of the uses of pipe lining include:

  • To protect the pipes from damages
  • To prolong lifespan of pipes
  • To restore the original dimensions of pipes

Cladding is the procedure of metallurgical bonding of clad materials to pipes. Some of the major uses of pipe cladding include:

  • To create abrasion resistant pipes
  • To prevent corrosion and wear
  • To be able to resist high temperatures and high stress and impact situations

Application

Because oil and natural gas contains a large amount of corrosive media such as hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide and chloride ions, especially the content of corrosive components in the oil and gas medium before pipeline purification in the seabed oil and gas field is high, and some even require heat transfer, and internal corrosion problems are very prominent. The use of stainless steel or corrosion-resistant alloys in large quantities is not economical. Double metal clad pipes are a good choice.

The bimetal clad pipe structure uses a corrosion-resistant alloy tube (stainless steel or corrosion-resistant alloy) as the inner liner (wall thickness 0.5-3mm) to contact the corrosive medium and carbon steel or low-alloy steel as the outer base pipe to withstand the pressure. low. Generally, the double-metal clad pipe contains 316L austenite stainless steel as the inner liner in the case of containing CO2 medium, and 2205 and 2505 duplex stainless steel can be used as the medium containing CO2 + small amount of chloride, when H2S+CO2 is contained. + Chloride, the inner liner should be 028, G3, INCONEL625 and Inconel825 nickel-base or iron-nickel alloy, in order to ensure the corrosion resistance of the pipeline, but also can choose the titanium alloy and other materials with excellent corrosion resistance as lining. The outer layer material is usually API 5L X42, X50, X60, X70, ASTM-A106GB and A335-P22 and other materials, so as to ensure the strength of the pipeline.

Casing pipe for oil and gas transportation

Choosing stainless steel such as Incoloy625 and Incoloy825 for inner tubes to ensure the corrosion resistance of the pipe. The outer pipe are usually X42, X50, X60, X70, A335-P22 and other materials to ensure the strength of the pipeline. The American Petroleum Association (API) has developed the standard for composite pipes for pipelines, with the serial number API 5LD:Cr-Mo steel, super 13Cr, G3, C028 and other oil well tubes and the nickel-base alloy cladding tubes such as 825, 028.

Waste incinerator

Cladding steel tube for waste incinerator.The outer tube can be made of Sanicro65 alloy, and the inner pipe may be carbon steel or chromium, molybdenum steel with resistance to stress corrosion cracking.Europe and the United States have used 2 million meter composite steel pipe since the first installation cladding pipe incinerator superheater and water wall tubes in the 1971.

Heat exchanger

Cladding steel pipe used for heat exchanger should also have good thermal conductivity and a certain strength and corrosion resistance. We manufactured cladding pipe with high alloy, nickel chromium alloy 800 as the inner tube and the low-alloy steel ASTM A213 Ti2 as the outer pipe.

Used for wear-resistant steel

A Japan company have made cladding steel pipe with SUS316L corrosion resistant steel for outer pipe, Stellite No12 alloy for inner pipe,after 4 years is still new. They has also been well applied in the pneumatic conveying pipe of other micro powder particles, and the demand is increasing.

Marine environment

  • Inner pipe: Nickel, Titanium stainless steel or Copper alloy.
  • Outer pipe: Carbon steel or low alloy corrosion resistant steel.

Cladding pipe used for marine environment made by Japan’s Kawasaki is widely used as marine heat exchanger tube and seawater desalination of seawater intake pipe.
