We have provided our customers with 30 steel pipes with a length of 12 meters and FBE coating of 250 μ m, which are just suitable for loading into a 40 foot container for smooth shipment.
Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) coating, sometimes referred to as powder coating, is a thermosetting resin coating that's applied to steel pipes and is considered to be the industry standard for industries like oil and gas, water, sewage, and more.
FBE coating gets applied to both the exterior and interior of the pipe and is a highly effective method of protecting the pipe from corrosion.
FBE coating steel pipe is a special process that evenly applies epoxy powder on the surface of the steel pipe, and after high-temperature curing, forms a strong protective layer that is tightly bonded to the steel pipe.
The thickness of FBE coating is crucial for pipeline performance. Standards specify the required coating thickness for different applications to ensure the service life and durability of pipelines.
Coating thickness: The typical thickness range for FBE coatings is 100 to 500 micrometers (0.1 to 0.5 millimeters), depending on project requirements and the environmental conditions that the pipeline will face.
Standards:
ISO 21809
AWWA C213
DIN 30670
Coating quality control: Quality control measures such as adhesion testing, coating thickness inspection, and visual inspection are crucial to ensure the integrity and performance of FBE coatings.
Before shipment, we conducted a comprehensive and strict quality inspection on this batch of FBE coating steel pipe to ensure that each pipe meets the relevant production standards and customer order requirements.
In terms of appearance, the coating surface is smooth and flat, without defects such as pinholes, bubbles, cracks, and sagging. The color is uniform and consistent, demonstrating the good texture of high-quality FBE coating.
The thickness detection adopts a professional coating thickness gauge, which conducts multiple measurements at different positions of the steel pipe. The dry film thickness of the coating is controlled at [250 μ m], which meets the customer's order requirements.
The adhesion test is conducted using the grid method, and the adhesion strength between the coating and the steel pipe surface is excellent without peeling, ensuring that the coating is not easily peeled off during subsequent transportation, installation, and use.
At the same time, routine inspections were conducted on the outer diameter, wall thickness, and length of the FBE coating steel pipe, all of which met the requirements of the order.
There are some alternatives to steel pipe coating aside from FBE coating, including:
3-Layer Polyethylene (3LPE) Coating
Polyurethane (PU) Coating
Coat Tar Enamel (CTE) Coating
Zinc Coating
Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice between these options will come down to the specific application and level of corrosion protection needed.
FBE coating is corrosion resistant and chemical resistant.
It has high resistance to cathodic disbondment.
FBE coating increases the life span of steel pipes providing a constant performance throughout its life span.
The FBE coating has high bond strength and bond firmly to mild steel pipe surface.
FBE coating steel pipe have excellent anti-corrosion performance, mechanical performance, chemical resistance, temperature resistance, and economy, and meet strict standard specifications, making them a high-quality choice for steel pipe anti-corrosion. They are widely used in pipeline engineering in various fields such as municipal, industrial, energy, and mining.
