Industry:

Oil & Gas (OILG)

Application:

Valves, Pipes and Fittings (VPF)

Customer Location:

Engineering company, Italy

Application Date:

November, 2014

Application Situation:

One of the global leaders in the Engineering & Construction and Drilling businesses with a strong bias towards Oil and Gas related activities required internal protection of a pipeline.

Problem:

The pipeline is used as a monolithic dielectric joint. The pipeline's diameter varied between 8 and 24 inches and individual lengths up to 10m. The carbon steel substrate required protection against chemical and abrasive attack at elevated temperatures.

Products:

Belzona 1381

Substrate:

Carbon Steel

Application Method:

The application was carried out in accordance with Belzona Know-How System Leaflet VPF-2 using spin spray application equipment.

Belzona Facts:

The coating was applied in a single layer 1200-1400 microns thick without sagging, thus avoiding the cost of a second coat application. In addition, Belzona 1381 facilitates savings in raw materials, as carbon steel can be used in place of special metal alloy.
