DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PIPE LINING AND COATING

Do your pipes experience wear and tear? Or uncontrollable pinhole leaks. It is either an interior or exterior difficulty in your building; there are pleasant ways to solve this puzzle without conventionally re-piping. Pipe coating and lining can protect the pipe from corrosion. When you observe cracks on your pipes, do not overthink yourself, it's time for Non-structural pipe coating.

Non-structural pipe coating is a remodeling approach used on pipes exhibiting cracks, pitting, and getting rough. On many occasions, applying an epoxy coating is the best solution depending on pipe length and type.

What Is Pipelining?

The lining is an internal coating. The lining is a way to restore an older line to gain more years of service after a significant scouring of fouling. Pipelining converts the interior surface smoothness to the new one and is less prone to collecting deposits or tuberculation. Pipelining solves the problem using cement, PVC. But are used for specific services:

Cement-lined lines are usually used to carry water,

PVC-lined pipes mainly have corrosive substances.

The pipe is a way to restore an older line to gain more years of service after a significant scouring of fouling.

Pipelining Process

1. Before beginning a standard pipelining project, it is necessary to map the plumbing system and establish a realistic work schedule.
2. Restore the pipe to its original diameter; by cleaning and removing the roots and debris buildup.
3. For the damaged pipe, apply an epoxy-saturated felt liner with push or pull. Eliminate the need to line the entire length of pipe by laying out angles and individual sections of pipe.
4. Conduct final inspection. A seamless epoxy pipe has rebranded the inside line.

Pipe Coating

Pipe coating is the process of protecting the outer surface against weather and corrosion through applying pipes with a sprayed-on or dipped thin asphaltum varnish, giving the line its standard color and protecting piping during the construction process. Some surrounding factors can mainly cause external pipeline corrosion.

Factor Affecting Corrosion

Factors that lead to internal corrosion are:

The oxygen content

Temperature

Acid Soil

Wet conditions

Pressure

And flow rate of the liquid carried in the pipelines

Due to the above reasons, a non-structural pipe coating and anti-corrosive pipeline coating are required, to resist internal and external corrosion. The most common coatings are FBE, polyethylene, petroleum asphalt, and epoxy.

Non-Structural Pipe Coating Process

1. To make a quality epoxy coating, you first need to configure the pipe, inspect worn-out joints, fittings and repair them.
2. Once the pipes are tested for leaks, clean to remove rust and corrosion by-products collected in a holding unit.
3. Coat the pipes, applying suitable coats evenly.
4. When a coat is dried, the valves and couplings should be reinstalled to confirm the line's integrity.

Without a gainsaying, pipelining and non-structural pipe coating provides a non-disruptive, time-efficient, and cost-effective solution compared to traditional pipe replacement. They are used for both non-pressurized pipes such as sewer and vent stacks and pressurized pipe systems.
