The Corrosion Protection Systems for SSAW Steel Pipes
In the realm of industrial applications, SSAW (Spiral Submerged Arc Welded) steel pipes are pivotal in various sectors, particularly in transporting gas and fluids. In this article, we will delve into the four primary corrosion protection systems utilized for SSAW steel pipes: the three-layer PE anti-corrosion system, fused epoxy powder (FBE), coal tar enamel, and polypropylene reinforced fiber tape. 1. Three-Layer PE Anti-Corrosion System The three-layer PE anti-corrosion system comprises an epoxy primer (≥80μm), an adhesive layer (170-250μm), and a polyethylene topcoat (2.5-3mm). This robust system offers exceptional impact resistance, achieving a strength of 10J/mm, making it suitable for various soil conditions. 2. Fused Epoxy Powder (FBE) Fused epoxy powder has a single-layer structure ranging between 300-500μm. Renowned for its superior compatibility with cathodic protection systems, FBE is applied through electrostatic spray at a pre-heated temperature of 230±5°C. Once cured, ...
