Oil and Gas Pipeline Coating

Oil and Gas Pipeline Coatings Industry

Equipment used in Oil and Gas production plants and refineries is exposed to hostile environmental conditions containing harsh chemicals and other processes that cause corrosion, abrasion and erosion.

Failure of components in such environments causes massive financial losses added to lost productivity. There is also the hazardous possibility of oil spills and consequential environmental damage and claims.

Therefore, using oil and gas pipeline coatings to safeguard equipment and mitigate the potential for detrimental consequences becomes imperative.

Did you know?

  • The HVAF Satellite 6 type coatings successfully repair weld overlays.
  • The Fe Based Eco-friendly HVAF coating (hardness 53-55 HRC) is an efficient method to prevent corrosion and wear problems on the valve stems and seats, pump impellers and stainless steel shafts.

Repair of Hydraulic Rod Coatings, Repair of Shafts

  • Our HVOF coating, EnduroMax, successfully replaces hard chrome plating on hydraulic rods. Traditional coatings and hydraulics have never worked long enough. The porosity of hard chrome eventually allows the hydraulic fluid under pressure to penetrate the layer. Once the pressurized fluid hits the substrate, it spreads out under the coating, induces corrosion and lifts it off.
  • Our EnduroMax having higher adhesion and zero porosity is more protective than chrome. All these factors result in longer life of hydraulic rods and shafts with EnduroMax, even in the harshest industrial and seaside environments.

FAQ's

Coatings act as a protective layer applied to a surface to prevent corrosion, wear, and environmental damage. Whether used on machine components, pipelines, or equipment in the oil and gas industry, coatings help extend service life, reduce maintenance costs, and improve overall performance. In simple terms, a good coating works like a long-lasting shield for critical assets.

Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) is one of the most widely used pipeline coatings. It is applied as a dry powder at high temperatures, forming a tough, corrosion-resistant barrier. FBE is popular in the oil and gas industry because it offers excellent adhesion, chemical resistance, and long-term durability, even in harsh operating environments.

Industrial coating is a specialized protective layer applied to metals, pipelines, machinery, and structural components. Its main purpose is to safeguard surfaces from corrosion, abrasion, chemicals, high temperatures, and environmental exposure. Think of it as a strong outer armor that not only increases durability but also enhances appearance and functionality—especially important for industries like manufacturing, marine, power, and oil and gas.

The coating process involves applying a protective material to a surface to give it specific performance characteristics. Typically, the substrate is cleaned, pre-treated, and then coated using methods such as spraying, dipping, brushing, or automated machinery. In industrial applications—like coating pipelines or equipment in the oil and gas sector—the process ensures strong adhesion and uniform protection across the entire surface.

There are several types of pipe coatings used across industries, each designed for different environments. Some of the most common include:

  • Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE): Offers excellent corrosion resistance and strong bonding, widely used in oil and gas pipelines.
  • Three-Layer Polyethylene / Polypropylene (3LPE / 3LPP): Provides superior impact resistance and long-term protection in aggressive conditions.
  • Coal Tar Enamel (CTE): A traditional option still used in limited applications, though modern coatings like FBE have replaced it due to better performance and environmental standards.
The ideal coating depends on the fluid being transported, soil conditions, temperature, and overall project requirements.

Pipeline coating thickness varies depending on the type of line and the required level of protection. Gas pipelines typically feature coatings between 0.06 mm and 0.1 mm, while water and liquid pipelines may require 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm. Although these coatings are thin, they provide strong corrosion resistance and are essential for long-term pipeline performance—especially in demanding oil and gas environments.
