3LPE Coated Pipe

What is 3LPE Coated pipe?

The 3LPE coated pipe inlcudes 3 layer coatings, first FBE coating, middle is adhesive layer, outside polyethylene layer. 3PE coating pipe is another new product developed on the FBE coating basis since 1980s, which contains adhesives and PE(polyethylene) layers. 3PE can strengthen the pipeline's mechanical properties, high electrical resistance, waterproof, wearable, anti-aging.
It could protect pipe from the heat loss which only account for 1/4 of pipe.

3LPE coated pipe include 3 layers:

For The first layers is fusion bonded epoxy, which thickness is larger than 100μm. (FBE＞100μm)

The second layer is adhesive, which effect is binding epoxy and PE layers. (AD: 170~250μm)

The third layers is PE layers which is polyethylene have advantages to anti-water, electrical resistance and anti mechanical damage. (φ300-φ1020mm)
Therefore, 3PE coating pipe integrated with the advantages of FBE and the PE. Whichg more and more widely used in buried pipeline's transporting of water, gas and oil.

In case manufacturing equipment, 3PE coating steel pipe manufacturers they can also do FBE coating pipe.

3PE/3LPE coated pipe features and advantages

3LPE coated pipe mostly used for external coating for corrosion resistance against outside environment, FBE is for pipe internal coating to against fluid corrosion, used for chemical industry or for transimission of the drinkable water.

Durable lifetime

3LPE coated steel pipe have good stability and anti-aging performances under the normal work temperature and pressure conditions, consequently its lifetime can prolong above 50 years.

Corrosion resistance

Due to PE elements structure stability is very high, it is resistant to corrosion of natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, artificial gas and other chemical subjects, no need secondary anti-corrosion equipment. The chemical of soil does not produce any effects to the pipe.

Flexibility

3PE/3LPE is a kind of soft and flexible material, it can prolong 5 times length then break. While it is easily to bend and no damage. 3LPE/3PE coating steel pipe can bypass objects and cut the fees of installation.

Good resistance of impact and earthquake

Polyethylene is not fragile under low temperature, there for, it is safe used in the temperature at the range of -60℃~60℃. So it can adapt to going down of pipeline, Work in winter. Due to good impact performances, PE pipeline won't easily to break.

Excellent wear resistance

Experiments shows that PE pipe wear resistance is 4 times of pipe. especially in area of transporting mud. Compared to varnished pipe, PE coated pipe have better wear resistance.

3PE/3LPE have smooth surface, its manning coefficient is 0.009. Because of smooth internal surface and non-sticking performance, 3PE/3LPE coated steel pipe shows higher ability for transporting, and reduce the loss of pressure and water transporting. Low water permeation characteristic provides improved isolation from sea water compared to the other coating systems and FBE pipe.

Good environment protection performance

3LPE coated steel pipelines in manufacturing process won't add heavy metal stabilizer, the PE material have no poison and harm, is a kind of green material, and itself can recycled will not cause pollution to the environment.

Excellent electric resistance, anti-static performances.

These properties make PE pipeline suitable for flammable and explosive conditions.

Safe and reliable connection way

3LPE/3PE coating steel pipe mainly use hot melt and fused connection, keep the interface and pipeline connect as a whole. There is no water and gas leakage.

Light, easily to move, and convenient for construction

3LPE layers weight only account 1/8 for steel pipe, easily to move, bend, welding process is convenient and fast, lower fees for whole project, obvious economic benefits.

Since 3LPE and FBE coating can prolong the lifetime of same steel pipe from several years to decades years, it's required more than more in recent year pipeline projects.
