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.
Since failure is never an option, only the technologically best and the most reliable treatment will do for the Oil and Gas coatings sector. Endurance offers risk-free and reliable HVOF coating of components and equipment coating in oil and gas industry.
Endurance Wear Thermal Spray coatings are ideal for ensuring reliability and the long life of your components and equipment despite their adverse environment. Our high-quality thermal coatings enhance your components’ surface resistance and durability, ensuring their reliability and long service life.
Our Fe (iron-based) and Wc (tungsten carbide) based coatings like Enduromax-411 and Endurocorr-311 can protect your equipment from wear problems in harsh environments.
Our thermal spray shop in Mumbai repairs pump impellers with HVOF coating. You may see an example of spraying Stellite coating over Stellite weld overlay on the picture above. Failure of Stellite overlay urged the customer to look for more advanced technology. HVAF Stellite has proven to be a successful solution to our customers’ challenges.
Coatings function as protective layers applied to surfaces to enhance their resistance to corrosion and wear, thereby extending their lifespan and functionality.
The most common pipeline coating is fusion bonded epoxy (FBE). It is a powder coating that is applied to the pipe at high temperatures, creating a strong and durable barrier against corrosion.
Imagine a tough shield that safeguards your stuff, making it look good and last longer. That's essentially what an industrial coating is. It's a special layer applied to surfaces to protect them from the harshness of the environment and keep them from getting worn down. Think of it as superhero armor for your stuff!
Assume that a conveyor belt carries a long sheet of flexible material like paper, film, or aluminum foil. As it moves along, a coating material is applied to the sheet, giving it new properties and characteristics. These additional features depend on what the coated material will be used for and what kind of material it is. So, you can think of the coating process as adding a special layer to a long, moving sheet, changing its properties to fit its purpose.
There are several types of pipe coating, but three of the most common include:
Gas pipelines typically have a coating thickness between 0.06 and 0.1 millimeters, while water and other liquid pipelines have a coating thickness between 0.2 and 0.5 millimeters. Think of it like a very thin layer of paint, barely thicker than a hair!
