Fluorine-Lined Straight Pipe

Introduction to Fluorine-Lined Straight Pipes

Fluorine-Lined Straight Pipes represent a significant advancement in industrial piping solutions, specifically engineered for challenging environments that involve high temperatures and extreme negative pressures. These pipes leverage the exceptional properties of steel-lined PTFE, overcoming the traditional limitations associated with pressure resistance in fluorine-lined systems. Through years of research, development, and field testing, these pipes have been optimized for stable operation under harsh conditions, proving indispensable in distillation and other processes where high temperature and vacuum resistance are critical. This introduction marks a leap forward in the field of corrosion-resistant piping, offering industries a reliable solution for transporting aggressive chemical media.

Detailed Description

The construction of Fluorine-Lined Straight Pipes involves meticulous processes to ensure the highest integrity and performance of the piping system. The methods include:

Push-Through Technique: This involves welding steel parts and mechanically drawing a preformed PTFE liner into the steel pipe. This method ensures that the liner fits snugly against the steel, enhancing the pipe's structural integrity.

Molding Process: Adopting a "one-time molding" approach, high-quality PTFE powder is directly sintered onto the inner wall of the steel pipe. This process is particularly effective for creating seamless linings in large diameter pipes or fittings with complex shapes, such as tees and elbows, without any joints or welds. The resulting PTFE lining is about 10mm thick, offering substantial strength, durability, and a smooth finish.

Spraying Technique: For pipes requiring a thinner PTFE lining, a spraying process is employed. This involves applying layers of PTFE material onto the interior surface of the pipe, followed by heating to achieve the desired sealing and surface properties. This method is suited for pipes and fittings where a fully molded liner is not feasible.

Key Features

Versatile Chemical Resistance: Fluorine-Lined Straight Pipes are compatible with a broad spectrum of corrosive media, including various concentrations of acids, bases, strong oxidizers, and even aqua regia, making them versatile for diverse industrial applications.

High Durability: These pipes offer exceptional resistance to permeation by small molecule gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, chlorine, and hydrogen chloride, ensuring the purity and integrity of the conveyed media.

Smooth Surface: The PTFE lining provides a remarkably smooth surface with a low friction coefficient, facilitating optimal fluid flow and minimizing the risk of fouling or blockage within the pipe.

Extended Service Life: Designed for longevity, Fluorine-Lined Straight Pipes can operate reliably for more than a decade, even under high temperature and extreme negative pressure conditions, with minimal maintenance requirements.
