In the use of casing pipe, different
industries often have their own special performance requirements. For example, in
the petrochemical industry, corrosion resistance and high temperature
resistance are required, while in the power industry, insulation performance
and fire resistance are required. So. What are the special requirements for casing
pipe in different industries?
Petrochemical industry
1. Corrosion resistance
Due to frequent contact with various corrosive media, such as acids,
alkalis, salts and hydrogen sulfide in oil and gas, the casing pipe needs to
have excellent corrosion resistance, and stainless steel, alloy steel or casing
pipe lined with anti-corrosion materials are usually used.
2. High temperature and high pressure resistance
In the process of oil extraction and chemical production, there is a
high temperature and high pressure environment. The casing pipe must be able to
withstand the scouring and high pressure of high temperature fluids. The
material must have high strength and good high temperature resistance, such as
P110, C90 and other steel grade casing pipes.
3. Sealing performance
To prevent oil and gas leakage, the connection between the casing pipe
and the pipeline and equipment must have good sealing performance, and special
sealing structures and sealing materials are often used, such as metal sealing
rings, rubber sealing rings, etc.
Power industry
1. Insulation performance
The casing pipe used for power transmission and equipment protection
must have good insulation performance to prevent current leakage and short
circuit accidents, such as casing pipe made of insulating materials such as
ceramics and glass fiber.
2. Fireproof performance
In power plants and other places, the casing pipe must have certain
fireproof performance to prevent the occurrence and spread of fire accidents,
such as casing pipe made of flame retardant materials or coated with fireproof
coatings.
3. Mechanical strength and wear resistance
Power equipment may generate vibration and mechanical stress during
operation. The casing pipe must be able to withstand these external forces and
have sufficient mechanical strength and wear resistance, such as casing pipe
made of high-strength alloy steel or wear-resistant materials.
Construction industry
1. Waterproof performance
The casing pipe used for building water supply and drainage,
underground waterproofing and other projects must have good waterproof
performance to prevent water leakage, such as using flexible waterproof casing
pipe or rigid waterproof casing pipe, and sealing with waterproof sealing
materials.
2. Corrosion resistance and durability
Long-term exposure to the natural environment, the casing pipe must
have certain corrosion resistance and durability, such as using hot-dip
galvanized steel pipes, stainless steel pipes or casing pipes coated with
anti-corrosion coatings.
3. Compatibility with building structures
The installation of the casing pipe must be adapted to the building
structure and should not affect the overall stability and aesthetics of the
building, such as choosing a suitable installation method and location
according to the characteristics of the building structure.
Metallurgical industry
1. High temperature resistance and wear resistance
In the metallurgical production process, such as steelmaking and
ironmaking, the ambient temperature is high and there is a large amount of
metal dust and material scouring. The casing pipe must have high temperature
resistance and wear resistance. Casing pipes made of high temperature and
wear-resistant materials such as ceramics and silicon carbide are often used.
2. Thermal shock resistance
Frequent temperature changes will cause thermal stress in the casing
pipe, so the casing pipe is required to have good thermal shock resistance and
be able to maintain stable performance under rapid cooling and heating
conditions without cracking or damage.
Transportation industry
1. Flexibility and fatigue resistance
Cable protection casing pipes used in vehicles, ships and other means
of transportation need to have good flexibility and fatigue resistance and be
able to adapt to the vibration and bending deformation of the vehicle, such as casing
pipes made of flexible materials such as rubber and plastic.
2. Weather resistance
Long-term exposure to outdoor environments, the casing pipe must be
able to resist the erosion of natural factors such as sunlight, rain, wind and
sand, and have good weather resistance, such as casing pipes made of
weather-resistant plastics or coated with weather-resistant coatings.
Summary
The above are the special requirements for the performance of casing
pipes in common industries. In the daily use of casing pipes, it is necessary
to choose according to the environment and requirements of use. Choosing the
right casing pipe will get twice the result with half the effort and also help
improve work efficiency.
