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.

 

App

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.

Thermal Spray Stellite Coating Repair of a Pump Impeller.

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.

FAQ's

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:

  • Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE): This is a popular choice for its good adhesion, chemical resistance, and electrical insulating properties.
  • Three Layer Polyethylene/ Propylene (3LPE/ 3LPP): This coating provides excellent corrosion and impact resistance, making it ideal for pipelines in harsh environments.
  • Coal Tar Enamel (CTE): This traditional coating is still used in some applications, but it has been largely replaced by FBE and 3LPE due to environmental concerns.
  • The best type of pipe coating for your project will depend on the specific application and environment.

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!
