Flanged pipe and fittings are typical components in rigid piping systems. A pipe flange connects piping and components in a piping system by use of bolted connections and gaskets. Most commonly used flanges are weld neck flange, slip on flange, blind flange, socket weld flange, threaded flange and lap joint flange (RTJ Flange).
It not only satisfies the special requirements, but also saves costs.
In a clad line pipe, the corrosion-resistant alloy forms a complete barrier layer on the internal surface of carbon or low-alloy steel pipe (usually referred to as the “backing steel”). In general, use of clad or bi-metal-lined pipe allows the economic use of expensive CRA materials,It has been widely concerned and used in many other fields abroad.

The base material is carbon steel or low alloy steel. Clad pipes comply with the most stringent requirements of strength and corrosion resistance. The carbon steel outer pipe (backing steel or base metal) complies with the static requirements of strength and durability whereas the high alloyed inside pipe provides protection against corrosion.
Because oil and natural gas contains a large amount of corrosive media such as hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide and chloride ions, especially the content of corrosive components in the oil and gas medium before pipeline purification in the seabed oil and gas field is high, and some even require heat transfer, and internal corrosion problems are very prominent.
The use of stainless steel or corrosion-resistant alloys in large quantities is not economical. Double metal clad pipes are a good choice.

Generally, the double-metal clad pipe contains 316L austenite stainless steel as the inner liner in the case of containing CO2 medium, and 2205 and 2505 duplex stainless steel can be used as the medium containing CO2 + small amount of chloride, when H2S+CO2 is contained. + Chloride, the inner liner should be 028, G3, INCONEL625 and Inconel825 nickel-base or iron-nickel alloy, in order to ensure the corrosion resistance of the pipeline, but also can choose the titanium alloy and other materials with excellent corrosion resistance as lining. The outer layer material is usually API 5L X42, X50, X60, X70, ASTM-A106GB and A335-P22 and other materials, so as to ensure the strength of the pipeline.

A bimetal clad pipe is a composite pipe that consists of two different materials metallurgically bonded together. It typically comprises an inner layer made of a corrosion-resistant or wear-resistant material and an outer layer made of a structurally sound material.
A bimetal or thermostatic metal is a sheet or strip of two or more composite materials having different coefficients of linear thermal expansion bonded by riveting, brazing or welding.

Pipe cladding is the process of covering a pipe with cladding material.
This acts as protection from problems such as wear, abrasion, corrosion, impact, etc.
Pipe cladding refers to the process of applying a protective layer or coating on the outer surface of a pipe to enhance its durability, resistance to corrosion, wear, and other environmental factors. It involves bonding a different material, typically a corrosion-resistant alloy or a high-strength metal, onto the base pipe material.
Pipe cladding is commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, power generation, and water treatment, where pipes are exposed to harsh conditions and corrosive substances. The cladding material acts as a barrier, protecting the base pipe from corrosion, erosion, and other forms of damage.
Weld-overlay cladding: In this method, a layer of cladding material is deposited onto the base pipe through welding. Various welding processes such as manual metal arc welding (MMA), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), or submerged arc welding (SAW) can be used depending on the cladding material and pipe size.
Explosion cladding: This technique involves using explosive energy to bond two materials together. The cladding material is generally in the form of a sheet or plate, which is explosively welded onto the base pipe.
Mechanical cladding: This method includes processes such as roll bonding and diffusion bonding. It involves mechanically bonding the cladding material onto the base pipe through pressure or heat, without the use of welding.
Pipe cladding provides several benefits, including increased resistance to corrosion, abrasion, chemicals, and high temperatures. It helps extend the lifespan of pipes, reduce maintenance costs, and improve overall performance and reliability in demanding industrial applications.
Bimetal clad pipes are manufactured using various processes, such as explosive welding, roll bonding, or vacuum diffusion bonding. These methods ensure a strong metallurgical bond between the two layers, creating a durable and reliable composite pipe.
