Asphalt Enamel Pipeline Coating is used as a corrosion protection layer on steel pipes. The bitumen has been used in coating applications with efficiency. The Asphalt Enamel Pipeline Coating has excellent adhesion to the pipes so that it does not peel off quickly and lasts longer. The applications of the asphalt enamel pipe coating is seen mostly in the oil and gas industry where offshore oil drilling takes place. The coating adds weight to the pipes. The limitation is the temperature of operations. The operating temperature has to be lower than 70 degrees Celsius for the coating to work better.
The asphalt enamel coating also comes in various combinations, wraps, grades and thicknesses. Depending on the weight requirements of the applications, the thickness of the coating can vary. The applications are mostly gas pipes, offshore oil applications, reel, J & S lay and more. The asphalt enamel coating properties apply to large diameter and small diameter pipes. The coating can work better on smaller pipes as well as larger pipes. They also work on all kinds of steel material. [Company Name] is a leading supplier of the pipes in large scales. The asphalt enamel coating density differs based on the application requirements and the asphalt material used.
Asphalt Enamel Pipeline Coating Pipes used in offshore pipelines requiring concrete weight coating with low shear installation when the continuous temperature of the fluid being transported does not exceed 70°C (158°F)*. Asphalt Enamel (AE) is a plant applied coating based on modified bitumen which has been successfully used for many years for corrosion protection of steel pipes.
