How to Solve Corrosion of Pipe Fittings?

Metal corrosion causes global losses of up to 2.5 trillion US dollars every year! The industries affected include oil and gas, offshore, marine, nuclear energy, chemical production and so on. Corrosion can lead to costly downtime risks. Parts made of basic steel make maintenance more difficult.

Corrosion, such as pitting, surface and uniformity, can lead to cracks, metal deformation, and serious weaknesses. The solution for companies working in highly corrosive environments is to invest in anti-corrosion components.

 

 

Benefits of investing in corrosion-resistant accessories.

Reduce maintenance costs.

Long-term savings through wise investment.

Eliminate the risk of corrosion failure.

Prolong life.

Improve productivity and security.

Anti-oxidation.

Corrosion resistance.

Improve the strength at high temperature.

 

Pipe corrosion

Corrosion occurs in common equipment in these industries, such as control valves, instrument tubing and fittings. When the pipe begins to corrode, a blockage will form inside the pipe, and the timeout will also lead to holes. Leaks from tubing and pipelines can be life-threatening, especially if the material in the pipe is crude oil, gas or acid.

Corrosion on compression fittings, such as elbows, end caps, and adapters, can result in severe stiffness and strength reduction. Fittings and pipes must be able to withstand corrosive internal materials at high temperature and high pressure, which is why high-performance alloys are used to make them.

Anticorrosive coating

It is common practice to invest in this solution rather than using protective coatings on existing inferior materials such as copper or basic steel.

The corrosion-resistant coating is used as a barrier between accessories and hazardous materials or the environment, rather than a permanent solution. This is due to the well-known failure of the coating, which may be caused by the chemical reaction between the paint and the metal surface or blistering and peeling off after a few months of use.

Coatings may be ideal for short-term solutions, but they may not be able to cope with higher pressures and temperatures as easily as superalloys. The coating is guaranteed to wear out gradually after use, while pipes and fittings made of high-quality metal can be used for more than 15 years.

 

 

Stainless steel pipe fittings

Aluminum can react with oxygen to form an oxide film. Unfortunately, the iron oxide formed on ordinary carbon steel will continue to oxidize, causing the corrosion to expand, and then to form holes. Paint or oxidation-resistant metals (such as zinc, nickel and chromium) can be electroplated to guarantee the appearance of carbon steel, but, as is known, this cover is only a thin film. If the shield is damaged, the steel below begins to rust.

In the production process, the tube will be symmetrically extruded, and then annealed, the appearance of the stainless steel elbow will become very smooth, and the smooth appearance is not easy to scale, with the result of anti-scaling. This not only helps to dissipate heat but also does not need to wash frequently, saving time, effort and money. Secondly, welded pipe is a deep processing product of sheet metal, and its advantage of symmetrical wall thickness is incomparable and high accuracy.
