Corrosion-Resistant Lined Pipes

Mechanically clad pipes, also known as lined pipes, consist of a corrosion-resistant liner inserted into a carbon steel outer pipe. The liner is produced separately using welding and then hydraulically expanded to mechanically bond to the outer pipe without a metallurgical bond. The pipe ends are then sealed using robotic welding and can be girth welded on site. Lined pipes offer advantages over solid or clad pipes, including reduced material costs, less weight, improved internal surface condition, and ability to use various liner and outer pipe material combinations. Lined pipes are used in oil and gas pipelines and refinery systems.

LINED PIPES

Mechanically clad pipes (lined pipes) consist of a corrosion-resistant liner telescopically inserted into a low alloy
external carbon steel pipe. The carbon steel outer pipe can be produced using a seamless or welded manufac-
turing process; the liner is produced separately using a longitudinal welding process. The CRA liner is expanded
hydraulically, thus creating a purely mechanical bond. This method of manufacture does not create a metallurgical
bond between the outer pipe, used for structural integrity, and the inner liner pipe, which is selected for its appro-
priate corrosion resistance. Successively, the ends of the pipe are sealed using overlay welding carried out by a
robotized welding station, so the lined pipe ends are ready, after the bevel has been machined, to be girth welded
on site without any further work. The quality level, in terms of soundness, of the weld overlay pipe ends is assessed
by non-destructive testing: dye-penetrant and automatic ultrasound. The mechanical properties of the pipes can
be manufactured according to standard specifications (e.g. API 5LD, DNV OS-F101) and customer requirements.

ADVANTAGES
The main advantages of lined pipes are the following:

Lined pipes compared with solid CRA pipes

reduced material costs

less weight due to reduction of wall thickness

Lined pipes compared with overlay welded pipes

improved internal surface condition

no dilution from the base material

homogeneous chemical composition of the CRA layer

N08825 can be used as liner

Lined pipes compared with clad pipes

lower procurement cost


and shorter lead time

higher variable combination of coupled materials

either seamless or welded outer pipes


can be utilized

APPLICATIONS
