Carbon Steel PTFE Lined Pipe

Carbon Steel PTFE Lined Pipes are versatile pipeline systems manufactured to transport abrasive and corrosive fluids in many industries. The interior layer of PTFE is chemically non-stick and it does not corrode or allow materials to stick to it which makes it ideal for use in the transportation of aggressive chemicals, acids and solvents. The outer layer of carbon steel provides mechanical and physical properties to the pipe to enable it to sustain pressure and mechanical forces.

Features of Carbon Steel PTFE Lined Pipe

Here are the key features of carbon steel PTFE lined pipes:

• Corrosion Resistance: The PTFE lining offers excellent chemical inertness to a range of corrosive chemicals, acids and solvents thus preventing the carbon steel from corroding.
• High-Temperature Tolerance: PTFE has a high heat resistance and these pipes can therefore be used in handling hot fluids that do not exceed about 260°C or 500°F.
• Low Friction: PTFE's non-stick surface minimises friction, reducing the energy required to pump fluids through the pipeline.
• Durability: Carbon steel is highly mechanically strong, and the PTFE lining is highly wear-resistant for aggressive fluids.
• Lightweight: Carbon steel PTFE-lined pipes are lighter than stainless steel and thus easier to install and work with.
• Chemical Inertness: PTFE is chemically resistant, this means that it does not corrode with most of the chemical products hence the integrity of the fluids being transported is maintained.
• Wide Temperature Range: The PTFE is capable of performing well in high as well as low temperatures, making it suitable for various conditions.
• Easy to Clean: Due to their non-stick nature, PTFE pipes do not require frequent cleaning, so little time is spent on maintenance.

Such characteristics make carbon steel PTFE-lined pipes suitable for transferring aggressive fluids in various challenging situations.

Uses of Carbon Steel PTFE Lined Pipe

Carbon steel PTFE lined pipes are some of the most commonly used pipes in different industries. Here are some common applications:

• Chemical Processing: Carbon steel PTFE lined pipes are applied in plants for moving corrosive chemicals, acids, and solvents to enhance the efficiency of the process.
• Pharmaceutical Industry: Carbon steel PTFE lined pipes are used in equipment that deals with APIs and other materials that should not come into contact with contaminants.
• Food and Beverage: These lined pipes are used in food processing industries and beverage production, where high standards of cleanness and resistance to corrosive cleaning agents are required.
• Oil and Gas: These lined pipes are used in pipelines for transporting crude oil, natural gas, and other products, for which corrosion is of paramount importance.
• Water Treatment: Carbon steel PTFE lined pipes are applied in systems to convey chemicals employed in the purification of water, including chlorine and other disinfecting agents.
• Pulp and Paper: Carbon steel PTFE lined pipes are used in industries where chemicals are used for bleaching and other treatments in paper product processing.
• Mining and Metallurgy: These lined pipes are used in the transportation of slurries, acids and other aggressive chemicals used in the processing of ores and minerals.

These applications demonstrate the ability of carbon steel PTFE lined pipes in various tough and harsh conditions and is an important element in many industries.
