III. Performance Advantages of Coated Steel Pipes


(1) Corrosion Resistance  

Food-Grade Safety: The epoxy coating has passed the GB/T 17219 drinking water hygiene certification, with zero heavy metal leaching.  

Industrial Corrosion Resistance: The polyethylene coating can withstand acidic and alkaline media with a pH range of 2-12 and resist 50% sulfuric acid solution (no peeling after 30 days).


(2) Fluid Conveyance  

Internal wall friction coefficient ≤0.008 (30% lower than ordinary steel pipes), hydraulic roughness as low as 0.01 mm.

Actual testing shows a 18% reduction in pumping energy consumption (comparison data for DN500 pipeline water conveyance).  


(3) Service life  

In a 3.5% NaCl salt spray environment, the coating remains intact for over 30 years (verified by ASTM B117).  

After 18 years of use in the humid environment of a coal mine shaft, the coating retention rate exceeds 90% (local engineering case study in Cangzhou).

VIII. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Coated Steel Pipes 


(1) What is the corrosion resistance of coated steel pipes?  

Answer: Coated steel pipes are coated with epoxy resin or polyethylene, forming a dense protective layer through an electrostatic spraying process.  

Epoxy coatings resist acid, alkali, and salt corrosion (pH 2-12), while polyethylene coatings resist chemical medium erosion, making them suitable for corrosive environments such as chemical plants and marine applications.

Manufacturers of coated steel pipes validate corrosion resistance through salt spray tests (1,000 hours without bubbling) and chemical immersion tests (weight loss rate ≤0.5% after 30 days).  


(2) What is the service life of coated steel pipes?  

Answer: Under normal conditions, the service life of coated steel pipes can exceed 30 years, which is 2-3 times longer than galvanized steel pipes. The manufacturer offers a 3-year warranty period and can extend warranty services (up to 5 years) to cover the entire lifecycle management.  


(3) Do coated steel pipes meet drinking water standards?  

Answer: The inner coating uses food-grade epoxy resin certified by GB/T 17219, with leachable substance testing compliant with drinking water hygiene requirements, odor-free, and toxicologically safe. The manufacturer can provide hygiene performance test reports.


(4) What are the installation methods for coated steel pipes?  

Answer: They support groove-type, flange-type, and welded connections.  

Groove connections require controlling the groove depth (2.2-3.0mm) and width (8-10mm); flange connections require using seals resistant to temperatures from -20°C to 120°C. The manufacturer provides installation guidance videos and on-site technical support.

(5) Can coated steel pipes be used in high-temperature environments?  

Answer: Epoxy coatings have a temperature resistance range of -40°C to 120°C, while polyethylene coatings have a temperature resistance range of -40°C to 80°C. For special high-temperature applications (such as steam pipelines), custom PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) coatings can be provided, with a temperature resistance up to 260°C.


(6) What factors determine the price of coated steel pipes?

Answer: The price is influenced by raw materials (Q235B steel pipes, epoxy resin powder), coating thickness (0.25–3.0 mm), production process (electrostatic spraying vs. dip coating), and order volume. The manufacturer reduces unit costs through automated production lines, offering cost-effective advantages.


(7) Do coated steel pipes require regular maintenance?

Answer: It is recommended to conduct an annual coating integrity inspection (using an electric spark tester) and connection seal integrity test. Manufacturers offer free annual inspection services and provide pipeline health assessment reports.


(8) Can coated steel pipes be customized to special dimensions?  

Answer: Manufacturers support non-standard customization, capable of producing steel pipes with outer diameters ranging from 219 mm to 3,620 mm and wall thicknesses from 6 mm to 30 mm, with a delivery cycle of 7 to 15 days.


(9) What are the environmental performance characteristics of coated steel pipes?  

Answer: The production process uses a closed-loop spraying system, reducing VOC emissions by 80% and achieving a powder recovery rate of 95%. Waste pipes can be recycled through professional institutions, complying with ISO 14001 environmental management system requirements.


(10) How does the manufacturer ensure after-sales service?  

Answer: We provide 24/7 hotline support, with on-site service within 24 hours within the province and 48 hours outside the province.
