Bitumen-coated pipes

A bitumen-coated pipe is a solid steel pipe, on the surface of which a ball of bitumen is applied.

The bitumen coating is vicorized to protect the pipe from corrosion and the influx of external factors, such as moisture and aggressive media. Such a coating often becomes stagnant in everyday life and during the construction of pipelines, especially for underground communications, for important protection against corrosion.

The bitumen coating has the following functions:

1. Anti-corrosion protection: The bitumen coating creates a barrier that prevents the pipe from coming into contact with water, salts, chemicals and other corrosive agents. This is especially important for underground pipelines, which require a steady flow of liquid.
2. Mechanical protection: Bitumen can also provide additional protection from mechanical damage, such as impacts and abrasions during transportation and installation of pipes.
3. Durability: Pipes with bitumen coatings last much longer, the coating helps protect the metal from being easily damaged.

Usage

Water supply systems: Protection of water supply pipes from the inflow of groundwater.

Heat temperatures and oil pipelines: The oil and gas pipelines have bitumen coatings that are widely sealed to protect the pipes from corrosion when transporting oil, gas and other substances.

Sewage systems: For the removal of wastewater and other rare wastes that may contain aggressive chemicals.
