Application Situation
Steam piping of four identical sections of a batch digester at a local paper mill, operating at 200°F max.
Application Method
The line was shut down for safety handling during application procedure. Belzona 5871 was applied in 4 coats in one day, with a total DFT of 160-180 mils.
Belzona Facts
The curing time of Belzona 5871 was accelerated becaude the pipe was still warm during application. All 4 layers of Belzona 5871 were applied in one day, and 4 more identical pipe sections were repaired during a planned maintenance. Belzona was able to reduce the temperature down to 110F, preventing any type of contact surface burn and protecting the pipe against future corrosion degradation.
