Insulated steel pipes
Insulated steel pipes
Pipes made of insulated steel are ideal for usage in challenging environments. Steel pipes under insulation can successfully operate for several decades, even when subjected to extremely high temperatures, mechanical damage, or chemical agents.
They are frequently utilized in the building of subterranean pipes because of their exceptional resistance to corrosion. Steel pipes have exceptional insulation strength because, as their name implies, they are wrapped in unique layers of insulation.
Insulated steel pipes – characteristics
Three varieties of insulated steel pipes are available from Metal Pipe Industry and Development LLC. These include epoxy-insulated steel pipes, polyethylene 3-LPE-insulated steel pipes, and polypropylene 3-LPP-insulated steel pipes. Steel pipes in insulation can be utilized successfully in projects where the pipe must be bent without worrying about the insulation being damaged thanks to flexible coatings.

Thanks to the well-chosen and made types of insulation, you will get
- high resistance to mechanical damage,
- resistance to chemical agents, moisture, electrical breakdown, exposure to high temperatures and ultraviolet rays,
- high adhesion of the insulation to the pipe surface,
- anti-corrosion protection of underground pipelines for about 50 years,
- complete protection of steel pipe welds,
- possibility of joining insulated pipes without damaging the insulation,
- the neutrality of the insulation towards the natural environment,
- adhesion to the surface of the steel pipe,
- impact resistance,
- abrasion resistance,
- resistance to indenting force, hardness and stiffness,
- unit resistance of the gas pipeline transition.
