What is the installation method of 3PE Anti-corrosion Pipeline?

When it comes to the safe and efficient transportation of hazardous materials, it is essential to install the most reliable 3PE anti-corrosion pipeline protection available. The Three-Layer Polyethylene (3PE) anti-corrosion coating system is widely considered to be the most effective and efficient solution for preventing corrosion in pipelines.

• Pre-treatment of pipeline
• Application of epoxy primer
• Wrap of the epoxy coating
• Wrap of the adhesive
• Wrap of the top layer of the anti-corrosion material
• Pre-treatment of pipeline

The first step in the installation process of the 3PE anti-corrosion pipeline is the pre-treatment of the pipeline. This is done to ensure that the pipeline is clean and free from any foreign matter, such as dirt and rust. This is achieved through a high-pressure water washing process, which is then followed by a thorough mechanical cleaning of the pipeline. When pre-treatment is complete, the pipeline is inspected to make sure it is free of any contaminants and is ready for the next step in the installation process.

• Application of epoxy primer
  After the surface of the steel pipe is cleaned and dried, it is then time to apply the epoxy primer. The primer will improve the adhesion and corrosion protection of the 3PE anti-corrosion pipeline. It is important to ensure that all areas of the pipe are thoroughly coated in epoxy primer. The primer should be applied evenly and without any air bubbles or streaks. After application, the pipe must be left to dry according to the manufacturer’s directions before moving on to the next step in the installation process.
• Wrap of the epoxy coating
  After all of the necessary preparation for the application, the final step of the installation process is the wrapping of the epoxy coating. This coating is applied in several layers, with each layer providing additional protection to the pipeline. To ensure optimum protection, each layer should be given sufficient time to dry before the next layer is applied. This will ensure a uniform, even coating and will also minimize any potential risk of corrosion. The epoxy coating should be applied in a well-ventilated area and according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once the epoxy coating is applied and dried, it should be inspected to ensure that it has been applied correctly and that there are no gaps or areas of weakness.
• Wrap of the adhesive
  After the wrapping of the adhesive layer, the outermost layer of the 3PE anti-corrosion pipeline should be wrapped with a layer of self-adhesive tape. This tape should be wrapped in a spiral, starting from the bottom of the pipe and working upwards, making sure to overlap each layer with the one above it by at least 50%. This wrapping should be done until the entire pipe has been covered, ensuring a more secure and leak-proof pipeline.
• Wrap of the top layer of the anti-corrosion material

After the primer layer has been applied, it is time to wrap the top layer of the 3PE anti-corrosion pipeline material. To ensure a complete seal, the wrap must overlap by at least 50mm. Start by unrolling the wrap around the base of the pipe, making sure to keep it as tight as possible. Spiral upwards in an overlapping pattern, keeping the wrap as tight as possible. When finished, cut the wrap along the pipe. All the ends must be sealed by taping them with a special tape. The tape must be applied carefully to make sure that no air bubbles or gaps remain. Finally, inspect the entire pipe to ensure that the wrap is applied properly.

The installation of 3PE anti-corrosion pipeline is a great way to protect against corrosion and prolong the life of the pipeline. JiaJieNa teaches you more installation methods.
