Pressure Pipes
A pressure pipe is an underground pipe that transports liquids and gases under high pressure by using a certain pressure. Common applications for pressure pipes include steam and water mains, gas mains, and oil pipes. The pressure pipe is usually made of steel as the raw material and uses specialized technology to connect the fittings.
In order to ensure the safety and reliability of the pipeline, the pressure pipeline needs to be inspected regularly to test for leakage and corrosion. By understanding pressure piping systems, engineers can safely transport liquids and gases underground without having to worry about pipe leaks or bursts.

- Zinc Coating of Pressure Pipes
Galvanizing of pressure pipelines as a surface treatment for corrosion protection is cost-effective and widely used. It is critical to the corrosion resistance and safety of pressure piping. Hot dip galvanizing involves immersing clean pressure piping in a molten zinc solution, which chemically reacts with the surface of the piping to form a homogeneous and dense zinc-iron alloy and pure zinc overlay.

Types OF Pressure Pipe Coating
- Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) Coating
Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) coatings are thermal based powder coatings made of epoxy resin, which are applied to the metal surface by electrostatic coating technology because the molecular structure of this coating contains highly polar and active epoxy groups. It can produce a uniform and strong protective layer under high temperature conditions, which is widely adopted in metal pipes and valves and other equipment to implement anti-corrosion measures.
- Three Layers Polyethylene (3PE) Coating
Three-layer polyethylene (3PE) coatings are widely recognized for their superior corrosion resistance. It is often used in marine conditions and the harsh environment of chemical pipelines. It provides reliable protection and maintenance for pipelines. The base layer of the three-layer polyethylene (3PE) coating is constructed from epoxy powder (FBE) or a specific adhesive. A copolymer bonding material makes up the middle layer. The outermost layer is based on polyvinyl chloride. The three-layer structure is highly synergistic, thus effectively avoiding the corrosive effects of the outside world on the pipe.
- Three Layers Polypropylene (3PP) Coating
3PP coating is a three-layer polypropylene anticorrosive coating that consists of a base layer of epoxy powder, an intermediate layer of binder, and an outer layer of polypropylene (PP) jacket. The primer layer provides a good adhesion base. The intermediate layer is the core part of the 3PP coating. The top paint layer mainly provides aesthetics, wear resistance and so on.
- Epoxy Coal Pitch Anticorrosion Coating
Epoxy coal pitch anticorrosion coating is composed of epoxy coal pitch anticorrosion coating and curing agent. Excellent corrosion resistance. At the same time, Epoxy coal pitch anticorrosion coating has good weather resistance and wear resistance, epoxy coal pitch anticorrosion coating will form a strong and ductile protective layer after high temperature curing. It is widely used in oil and gas, Bridges, docks and other infrastructure anticorrosion.
- Silicone Anticorrosion Coating
Silicone Anticorrosion Coating is a polymer coated with silicone anticorrosion coating, which is formed by alternating connection of polysiloxane, silicon atoms and oxygen atoms into main chain and organic side chain. This compound has extremely high chemical stability and can resist the corrosion of acid, alkali and salt media. Excellent stability and corrosion resistance. And high temperature and high pressure resistance, the working temperature can reach 600°C. Often used in Bridges, wind power tower and petrochemical equipment.
- Internal Coating
The internal coating technology not only enhances the corrosion resistance of the equipment surface, but also enhances the lubricity and reduces the fluid resistance. It is widely used in food and beverage, pharmaceutical manufacturing, water treatment and other fields. There are many kinds of internal coatings. For example, epoxy coatings are suitable for acid-base medium environments. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coatings are suitable for low-friction, non-stick surfaces.
Advantages Of Pressure Pipes & Fittings
Pressure pipes can efficiently transport fluids under pressure, significantly improving production efficiency, reducing costs, and facilitating transportation. It has strong pressure resistance and corrosion resistance. Pressure pipes are usually made of corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel, alloy steel, etc. In the field of oil and gas, it can also withstand huge loads and pressures. Effectively prevent leakage accidents. The connection of pressure pipe fittings is stable and reliable. Strong adaptability, can be applied to a variety of media environments and conditions. Very flexible and reliable.
