INTERNAL PIPE CLADDING

Internal Pipe Cladding is a smooth and welded coated steel line pipe and lined steel line pipe with improved corrosion-resistant properties pipes that are commonly used in natural gas & petroleum pipeline distribution networks, marine industries, chemical plants, power plants, etc.

The corrosion-resistant alloy coated or lined pipe consists of traditional carbon steel with an alloy coating which is resistant to corrosion. The steel pipes’ inner or outer surface is bonded metallurgically (clad) or mechanically (lined) with a layer of the corrosion-resistant alloy (CRA).

The sheet of the CRA is the cladding material or padding, while the base metal is carbon steel or low alloy pipe steel. Not only does the thin CRA coating retain the corrosion resistance properties but it also reduces the cost making it commercially feasible for heavy pipelines with wide diameters.

This particular spreads consistent and welded clad steel line pipe and fixed steel line pipe with improved erosion safe properties reasonable for use in pipeline transportation frameworks in the oil and flammable gas businesses. The clad and lined steel line pipe indicated thus is made out of a carbon steel support or base material outside (now and again inside and additionally outside) and a consumption safe compound (CRA) layer or covering within the channel. The base material complies with API 5L (45th Ed.), item detail level (PSL) 2, and appropriate annex(es), aside from as changed thus. Evaluations of base material secured by this determination incorporate X42, X46, X52, X56, X60, X65, X70, X80, and grades middle of the road to these. Evaluations of the CRA layer are LC 1812, 2205, 2506, 2242, 2262, brought together numbering framework (UNS) S31703, UNS N08904, UNS N10276, Alloy 31 (UNS N08031), Alloy 59 (UNS N06059), Alloy 254 SMO-11 (UNS S31254), Alloy 400 (UNS N04400), AL6NX (UNS N08367), and EN 1.4529 (UNS N08926). Different evaluations are dependent upon the understanding between the buyer and the maker. The conveyed item, for the most part, has square closures, however other extraordinary finishes might be outfitted by an understanding between the buyer and producer. Included are ostensible funnel sizes (NPS) 25 mm (1 in.) through 2134 mm (84 in.). Sizes more noteworthy than 2134 mm (84 in.) are outside of the scope of API 5L (45th Ed.) yet might be provided up to 2500 mm (100 in.) by understanding, including necessities for materials.

Using hot rolling metallurgy composite plate or coil as steel, state-of-the-art pipe-making technology (UOE, JCOE, COE and SAWH) to shape, SAWL or SAWH, and TIG etc. incorporate automated welding process to complete the weld. The weld consistency is good, and the precision of the component size is high. The composite plate or coil is created by hot rolling process, which can accomplish metallurgical bonding of the atom between the corrosion-resistant coated and the backing sheet, the binding force is higher than 200MPa, the binding region can be higher than 99.9%, and the efficiency is robust and dependable. The clad should fulfill the basic durability specifications that are resistant to corrosion, and the backing layer should satisfy the strength and rigidity conditions needed by the construction.

Seamless or welded carbon steel pipe as the outer backing plate, and corrosion-resistant metal pipe as the inner corrosion layer, using the company’s separately innovated maximum elasticity hydraulic composite system completes the connection between the internal and outside pipe and forms the mechanical lining material. The maximum composite effect of the mechanical liner can be accomplished by the composite process, and the shear stress between the inside and outside metal layers can exceed 2.0MPa (the relative norm allows 0.2-0.5MPa). In the meantime, we are specifically developing pipe ends mechanical overlaying technologies and NC machine tools designed for beveling, which can handle complicated shape bevels such as U-bevel and ensure the adherence of pipe mouth diameter and bevel size in order to operate pipe joints.on-site.

Internal Pipe Cladding provided by our company can be of different sizes. The size can vary from 1′′ (DN 25) to 100′′ (DN 2500) with a minimum alloy layer of 2.5 mm in thickness and a maximum length of 15 meters. We perform extensive heat treatments both for the base-metal pipe and the CRA plate.

The mechanical properties of the Internal Pipe Cladding are generally determined by the properties of the base material by themselves. The CRA layer’s mechanical properties can be calculated according to the customers ‘ requirements.

External Pipe Cladding Base Materials – API 5L GR X5 SL2 & Inconel 825 Metallurgically Bonded (CLAD) OR Mechanically Bonded (LINED) consist of smooth or welded pipe tubing. The pipes consist of category B, X42, X46, X52, X56, X60, X65, X70 and X80 and intermediate grades API 5L.

The internal pipe cladding is a bimetallic pipe consisting of an internal & external alloy sheet resistant to corrosion that is metallurgically bonded to the material. Cold cutting, coextrusion, weld-overlay, blast welding, powder metallurgy etc. can be achieved.

In the case of Mechanically Bonded (LINED), in a lined pipe the mechanical bonding created by the lining process is fairly “loose” Regardless of the superior mechanical efficiency the expense of the clad pipe is higher.

Advantages

• • Internal Pipe Cladding can withstand harsh chemical conditions
  • Usage of the coated conduit in high temperature and pressure systems
  • This is cost effective for essential infrastructure, as carbon steel can be used with exotic materials cladding

Disadvantages

• Clad materials are difficult to produce, a special skill required for welding
• Clad pipes are inefficient compared with the lined pipes

• Each Internal Pipe Cladding experiences broad examination to guarantee top quality: 
• Ductile tests: The CRA layer will be expelled from all examples of completed items; Longitudinal elastic tests and transverse tractable tests; Weld Tensile test (if there is any weld crease in the sponsorship steel) 
• Leveling tests 
• Guided-twist tests 
• Crack durability tests 
• Hardness tests (Vikers – ASTM E 384, Rockwell – ASTM E 18) 
• Ferrite/austenite proportion for duplex tempered steel CRA layer 
• Erosion tests according to ASTM A262 Practice B or Practice E, ASTM G28 Method An, ASTM G48 Method A 
• Tests for CRA cladding bond quality and CRA liner snugness 
• Remaining attraction (under 15 Gauss) 
• Hydrostatic assessment 
• Dimensional assessment and visual assessment 
• Ultrasonic assessment for clad funnels 
• 100% X-Ray assessment for all welds

Fully cladding a carbon steel component with alloy 625 can reduce costs by as much as 60 percent, as opposed to producing it in solid alloy.

• Exotic castings on alloys can have defects on the sub-surface. Surface coating provides a very high quality film with small imperfections
• A wide range of NDTs provides price reassurance

Internal Pipe Cladding is labeled according to their dimensions, steel quality before the shipment is sent to the customers. Reli Sleeve avails it’s products all across India and various countries abroad as well.
