Description
Lined pipe is a type of piping used in various industries such as chemical, petrochemical, and oil and gas industries. It is a composite material made of an outer pipe (or substrate) and an inner lining made of a different material. The lining material is selected based on the requirements of the application, and is typically chosen for its resistance to corrosion, abrasion, or other forms of wear and tear.
The outer pipe of lined pipe is typically made of a material such as carbon steel, stainless steel, or other alloys, which provides strength and durability. The inner lining material is typically made of a thermoplastic material such as PTFE, PFA, or ETFE, or a thermosetting material such as epoxy or phenolic. These materials are selected based on the specific requirements of the application, and are designed to provide superior resistance to the particular fluids or chemicals being transported.
Lined pipes are used in a variety of applications, including the transportation of corrosive or abrasive fluids, as well as in applications where cleanliness and hygiene are important. They are commonly used in chemical processing plants, power generation facilities, and in the oil and gas industry. Lined pipes offer many advantages, including improved corrosion resistance, increased durability and longevity, and reduced maintenance and downtime.
