Ceramic sleeve lined pipe refers to a type of pipe where the inner surface is covered with a continuous ceramic liner or sleeve. This ceramic liner is typically made of high-quality alumina ceramics, which provide excellent resistance to wear, abrasion, and corrosion.

The ceramic sleeve lined pipe is commonly used in industrial applications where the pipeline is exposed to harsh conditions, such as in mining, power generation, oil and gas, and lithium battery material conveying systems The ceramic liner helps to protect the inner surface of the pipe from the abrasive or corrosive materials being transported, thereby extending the service life of the pipeline.

The ceramic sleeve lined pipe is often used in areas where traditional ceramic tiles may not be suitable or practical. The continuous ceramic liner provides a smooth and even interior surface, which helps to minimize friction and improve the flow efficiency of the pipeline.

The installation process of ceramic sleeve lined pipe involves assembling the ceramic sleeve into the steel pipe using a high-strength-temperature-resistant epoxy adhesive. This ensures a secure and durable bond between the ceramic liner and the pipe.

It is important to note that the specific design, dimensions, and properties of ceramic sleeve lined pipes may vary depending on the manufacturer and the project requirements. Consulting the manufacturer's specifications or working with qualified engineers is recommended to ensure the proper selection and installation of ceramic sleeve lined pipes in a specific project.

Recently 95% alumina ceramic sleeve lined pipes, elbows and T pipes have been largely applied in lithium battery material conveying system.. The main raw material of wear resistant ceramic ring is a special kind of ceramic with AL2O3 as the and the rare metal oxide as the flux, which is melted by high temperature at 1700 °C. The big diameter ceramic sleeve is always a big problem for the ceramic tube manufacturers since it’s very difficult to control the deformation rate of the ceramic sleeve after it’s sintering .Also It will also need an advanced and big isostatic pressing machine to do this .So it will not only express the company’s production capability ,but company’s technology. Right now, our factory have owned both advantages which are wear resistant ceramic pressing facilities and technologies.

What is ceramic sleeve lined pipe?

Ceramic sleeve lined pipe has a continuous ceramic liner covering the inner surface of the pipe. The ceramic liner, or sleeve, is typically made of high-quality alumina ceramics, which provides excellent resistance to wear, abrasion and corrosion.

Ceramic sleeve lined pipes are commonly used in industrial applications where the pipeline is exposed to harsh conditions, such as in mining, power generation, oil and gas, and chemical processing. The ceramic sleeve provides superior wear resistance and protects the underlying steel pipe from premature failure due to abrasion or corrosion.

In addition to their excellent wear properties, ceramic sleeve lined pipes may also provide benefits such as improved flow rates, lower maintenance costs, and longer service life. They may also be used in applications where hygiene is important, as the ceramic sleeve lining is non-toxic and does not react with most chemicals.

Ceramic sleeve lined pipes may be manufactured in various sizes and shapes, including elbows, tees, and reducers, to meet the specific requirements of each application. The ceramic sleeve may be bonded to the steel pipe using specialized adhesives and may be installed using conventional welding or mechanical joining techniques.

While ceramic sleeve lined pipes can offer significant benefits in terms of wear resistance and longevity, they are typically more expensive than traditional steel pipes due to the cost of the ceramic liner and specialized manufacturing processes.

What are Ceramic pipe sleeves?

Ceramic pipe sleeves are a type of ceramic lining designed to protect metal, plastic or composite piping systems from wear and abrasion caused by high-velocity flows of abrasive materials. They are typically made of highly engineered ceramic materials such as alumina or silicon carbide, which provide excellent resistance to wear, corrosion, and erosion.

Ceramic pipe sleeves are widely used in industries such as mining, power generation, and chemical processing where the harsh environment can cause significant wear and damage to the piping systems.

The advantages of using ceramic pipe sleeves include:

1. Exceptional wear resistance: The ceramic material used for the sleeve provides excellent resistance against wear and abrasion caused by abrasive media, improving the lifespan of the piping system.
2. Corrosion resistance: Ceramic materials are highly resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for use in corrosive environments.
3. High-temperature resistance: Ceramic pipe sleeves can withstand high temperatures without losing their mechanical properties, making them ideal for use in high-temperature applications.
4. Reduced friction and turbulence: The smooth surface of the ceramic pipe sleeves reduces friction and turbulence, resulting in reduced pressure loss and increased flow rates.
5. Improved safety and reliability: Ceramic pipe sleeves can significantly reduce the likelihood of equipment failure, enhancing the safety and reliability of industrial operations.
6. Easy installation: Ceramic pipe sleeves are easy to install and can be tailored to fit specific sizes and shapes required by the application.

Overall, ceramic pipe sleeves are an effective and reliable solution for protecting piping systems from the harsh effects of abrasive materials. They offer superior wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and improved efficiency compared to traditional materials, reducing maintenance costs and improving system performance.

Process of ceramic sleeve lined pipe

For different production environments, our company has developed a wear-resistant pipe for a variety of media, based on the temperature, wear and corrosion requirements of the field media, and for the initial application of the scene, our company to provide wear-resistant ceramic ring for the Lined composite straight pipe design to meet the on-site wear resistance, heat resistance and corrosion resistance requirements, in view of this program for the new design (formerly ceramic chip technology, there are many gaps, easy to wear).

Paint process

After the ceramic ring in the pipe is installed and the thread is processed, the dirt outside the pipe is cleaned, and the outer surface of the pipe is treated with three layers of anticorrosive paint to meet the export requirements.

For the convenience of customers, are to provide a more specific process is as follows:

1. Removing rust and decontamination process of outer-layer steel pipe;
2. Must be in strict accordance with the prescribed ratio, the binder a\b accurate measurement, with how many, must be stirred evenly, full stir-mixing must not be less than 4 times, such as adding a mixture of the embedded feed should be mixed with the binder and then add the mixture to stir up not less than 3 times;
3. The binder is applied evenly on the inner wall of the steel tube to ensure the thickness is not less than 0.5mm thickness. Then apply the binder on the outer surface of the ceramic ring to ensure the thickness between the 0.5mm-1mm. Also in the ceramic ring side (with the ceramic ring contact with the corresponding surface) Daub 0.5mm Adhesive, to ensure that after the installation of the ring and the seal between the ring;
4. After the installation of the ceramic ring in place, it is necessary to repair the gap between the assembled ceramic rings and mend the joints to ensure the sealing between the ring and the ring;
5. According to the NPT standard, we process the two pipe ends of male and female thread processing. The end of the pipe processing, and processing 1x45° groove, to prevent on-site installation in the process of cutting the hands of construction workers, do a good job of safety protection measures, thread processing, need to brush oil to protect the thread;
6. After installing the ceramic ring, check the internal surface of the ceramic ring of the formation, finishing in place, cannot move the position of the pipe, because the binder is not dry, vibration is easily caused by the displacement of ceramic rings, affect the use of the effect of cold weather in winter, binder drying time is longer, need to ensure more than 48 hours.
