Introduction of Directly Buried Three Layer PE Anti-corrosive steel Pipe

Spread the love

The current domestic anti-corrosive steel pipe adopt epoxy coal tar anti-corrosion, welding epoxy powder(FBE, glassfiber anti-corrosive) and three-layer PE, anticorrosive, but from  the anti-corrosion structure should be the first choice.

3 PE pipe

Structure of three layer PE anti-corrosive pipe

Three layer PE anti-corrosive steel pipe carry out the national standard GB/T23257 – 2009. Anti-corrosion steel pipe with inner layer of epoxy powder coating, middle layer of adhesive, outer layer of polyethylene.

Technological process of three layer PE anti-corrosive pipe

1. Shot blasting degusting processing for the steel pipe

Before shot blasting degusting, with medium frequency induction heater, the steel pipe should be preheated to 40-60 degree, and then through the shot blasting machine to remove the water, oil and dirt contamination, derusting grade is up to GB/T8923-1988 standard, Sa2.5 level (nearly white level) requirements, the depth on the surface of the steel anchor pattern from 40 to 100 microns.

2. Epoxy powder coating

Before spraying, the steel pipe will be wrapped in kraft paper on both ends, then use medium frequency induction heater, heated the steel pipe to 190-230 degree, the electrostatic spraying method is adopted to epoxy powder as required amount of powder coating to the steel pipe surface, in the high temperature, combination with base material fastness, its anticorrosion performance is superior, the good resistance to chemical corrosion, coating surface density is smooth, wearable, and anti-high temperature.

3. Extruded adhesive

According to requirement of the thickness of adhesive layer and polyethylene, by adjusting the extrusion machine lord motor and screw revolution, to meet the requirements of extrusion amount. When the epoxy powder in a gel form, we adopt lateral winding technology, make the adhesive and PE coated on steel pipe, adhesive epoxy powder, polyethylene polymerization to form a three layer structure, after molding, with three rows of roller, make three layer structure fusion compaction, make it a whole system with smooth surface, without bubble and defect.

Adhesive performance is stable, strong adhesive force, uniform film-forming.

Temperature of PE extrusion is 230-260 degree, PE aging corrosion resistance is strong, good environmental stress cracking resistance and elongation properties.

4. Cooling of coating pipe 

According to the requirements of the three layer structure of the material properties, it requires slow cooling, temperature of cooling pipe should not exceed 60 degree.

5. Jeeping

In the production process, using online electric spark leak detector for coating 100% of leak detection voltage is 25 KV. It requires no funneled under 25 Voltage leak detection.

6. Coating products processing

Use groove grinding machine for pipe end for processing and tags.

Installation Method of Pre-insulated Pipe

Spread the love

According to whether the temperature of the overall pipeline welding is equal to the temperature of backing, the installation method can be divided into:

Cold Installation

The temperature of the overall pipeline welding is equal to the temperature of backing.

The installation processes of the pipeline welding and groove backfill are finished in the cold condition. In the cold ambient temperature, the pipeline is in zero stress state. In running condition, the stress and internal force of anchorage section and the displacement of compensation device in the sliding section are a bit large because the rising temperature is large.

It can backfill timely during the pipeline construction. It can save large quantity of money because it maximum reduce of even no need to install compensator and fixed support. But the pipeline stress and internal force increase, sometimes it’s necessary to strengthen the tee or increase the embedding depth.

Prestress Installation

The temperature of the overall pipeline welding is higher than the temperature of backfilling.

Prerelease the thermal expansion deformation from ambient temperature to preheating temperature. when the pipeline temperature returns to the ambient temperature, the pipeline is in the tensile stress station to make a prestressing effect. In running condition, because of prerelease of some thermal expansion deformation and the stress and internal force of anchorage section, the displacement of compensation device in the sliding section have a large degree of decline.

According o the sequencing of the pipeline welding and trench backfill, the prestress installation can be divided into preheat installation method and one-time compensator installation method.

Preheat Installation Method

Preheat the pipeline before backfilling, when the pipeline is heated to he preheat temperature, then weld th pipeline and backfill. In the preheat installation method, the release of thermal deformation is under the condition of the groove exposure. It can make immediate uniform distribution of prestressing effect in the pipe section.

One-time Compensator Installation Method

Preheat the pipeline after backfilling, installing one-time compensator in the pipeline to absorb thermal deformation from ambient temperature to expected preheating temperature. After teh pipeline welding, other grooves can be backfilling except the pipeline near the one-time compensator. In the process of first time heating, when the one-time compensator compensation dimension is reaching the thermal deformation prereleased at the compensation section, this one-time compensator can be welded to realize the whole pipeline welding.

In the one-time compensator, installation method, the thermal deformation prerelesed is under the condition of groove backfilled. The release of thermal deformation will be limited by the soil friction. The actual preheat temperature of welding one-time compensator is higher than expected preheat temperature, and only through times of temperature changing can make an effect of uniform distribution of prestressing effect for the whole pipeline.

All in all, compared with cold installation, the fixed pier thrust and compensator compensation dimension fo prestress installation will decline, but the stability of whole and partial pipeline will improve.
