Cement Lined Steel Pipe

Cement Lined Steel Pipes are a metal pipes coated with a cement mixture of mortar. The mixture could have different compositions. But the mixture could be applied locally by hand or with machines. Depending on the nominal size of the pipes, the thickness of the cement mixture or the mortar will vary. The Concrete Coated Pipes has to be used with care. Since the cement can crack easily under impact momentum, the use of tools is recommended. The tools are usually layered with rubber to avoid sudden impact energy transfer. There are different grades of the mortar lining. The AWWA C205 Cement Mortar Lining is a standard of the cement applied as coating to the pipe. There are different standards and grades of the cement that govern the quality, thickness and diameter of the coated pipes and cement. The c205 standard covers pipes from 2 inches to 24 inches in nominal pipes size. The concrete or cement thickness ranges from 0.25 inches to 0.375 inches increasing with the nominal pipe size. Also there are limited span sizes for each type of pipe. The maximum span size under this standard is 50 feet.

Concrete Coated Steel Pipes are used in many industries such as potable water and sewage applications mainly. These are good remain and be stable. If the Concrete Lined Steel Pipe is moved regularly, the cement might crack. If the crack in the cement lining is not repaired correctly, the Cement Lined Ductile Iron Pipe might get a leak in between the cement and the metal. This can corrode any standards such as the AWWA C104 Concrete Lined Steel Pipe. So the Concrete Lined Steel Pipe has to be dealt with care. The Cement Lined Steel Pipe or the Cement Mortar Lined Steel Pipes are common in carbon steels. The application of the Cement Lined Carbon Steel Pipe reduces the cost by eliminating the need for anticorrosive pipes but it increases the risk of cracking of cement during handling.
