Fluid-conveying seamless pipes are designed to resist various types of corrosion depending on the material used and the specific application. Some of the most common types of corrosion that these pipes are designed to resist include:
-
- Uniform corrosion: This is the most common type of corrosion, where the entire surface of the pipe corrodes uniformly. To resist this type of corrosion, pipes are often made of corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel or lined with protective coatings.
- Galvanic corrosion: This occurs when two dissimilar metals are in contact with each other in the presence of an electrolyte, leading to the corrosion of the more active metal. To prevent galvanic corrosion, pipes can be made of similar metals, or they can be isolated from each other using insulating materials or coatings.
- Pitting corrosion: Pitting is a localized form of corrosion that occurs when small areas on the pipe’s surface become more susceptible to attack, leading to the formation of small pits. This type of corrosion can be prevented by using materials with high pitting resistance, such as stainless steel alloys with added molybdenum, or by applying protective coatings.
- Crevice corrosion: Crevice corrosion occurs in narrow spaces or gaps between two surfaces, such as between a pipe and a flange or a pipe and a support. This type of corrosion can be mitigated by using corrosion-resistant materials, minimizing crevices in the pipe design, or applying protective coatings to seal the crevices.
- Stress corrosion cracking (SCC): SCC occurs when a susceptible material is exposed to a corrosive environment and tensile stress simultaneously. To prevent SCC, pipes can be made of materials with high resistance to stress corrosion, or they can be designed to minimize tensile stress.
- Erosion-corrosion: This type of corrosion occurs when the combined effects of erosion (due to fluid flow) and corrosion (due to chemical reactions) lead to material loss from the pipe’s surface. To resist erosion-corrosion, pipes can be made of materials with high erosion resistance, such as high-alloy stainless steels or lined with erosion-resistant coatings.
- Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC): MIC is caused by the presence of microorganisms that produce substances that can corrode the pipe material. To resist MIC, pipes can be made of materials with high resistance to microbiological attack, treated with biocides, or designed to minimize the accumulation of microorganisms.
The choice of material and protective measures for fluid-conveying seamless pipes depends on the specific application, the type of fluid being conveyed, the operating conditions, and the potential for exposure to various forms of corrosion.
The use of pipe piles in foundation construction has been a popular choice for many years. Pipe piles are used to transfer the load of a structure to a deeper, more stable layer of soil or rock.
Benefits of Pipe Trusses The use of pipe trusses in construction offers several notable advantages: Strength and Load-bearing Capacity: Pipe trusses are renowned for their high strength-to-weight ratio. The interconnected pipes distribute loads evenly, resulting in a sturdy and reliable structure. This allows for the construction of large spans without the need for excessive support columns or beams.
The standard for fluid-conveying seamless pipes depends on the country or region you are in, as well as the specific application. However, some widely used international standards for fluid-conveying seamless pipes are: ASTM A106: This is a standard specification for seamless carbon steel pipes for high-temperature service in the United States. It is commonly used in power plants, refineries, and other industrial applications where high temperatures and pressures are present. It covers pipes in grades A, B, and C, with varying mechanical properties depending on the grade. API 5L: This is a standard specification for line pipes used in the oil and gas industry. It covers seamless and welded steel pipes for pipeline transportation systems, including pipes for conveying gas, water, and oil. API 5L pipes are available in various grades, such as X42, X52, X60, and X65, depending on the material properties and application requirements. ASTM A53: This is a standard specification for seamless and welded black and hot-dipped galvanized steel pipes used in various industries, including fluid-conveying applications. It covers pipes in two grades, A and B, with different mechanical properties and intended uses. DIN 2448 / EN 10216: These are European standards for seamless steel pipes used in fluid-conveying applications, including water, gas, and other fluids. Read more
