Rubber lined pipe is used to transport Abrasive Slurry solutions, Corrosive Chemicals, and many other liquids from one place to another.
Our plant carefully considers temperature, chemical composition and concentration of the materials being conveyed to determine the best compound for your rubber pipe.
With the proper rubber pipe lining, a pipe can withstand years of abrasive and corrosive service conditions. Rubber compounds are engineered for chemical resistance to protect your pipe from the effects of acids and oxidizing agents.
For fluid streams with a high solids content or aggressive chemical make-up, rubber lined steel pipe has traditionally been a very effective solution. There are a variety of rubber compounds and durometers available. While other compounds may be available, noted below are common solutions for mining applications.
Rubber Lining Attributes:
Pipe size is never a concern when working with Industrial Rubber. An innovative application process makes it possible to rubber line pipe ranging from 3 inches in diameter up to the largest diameter manufactured.
Soft Natural Rubber
Hard Natural Rubber
Chloroprene/Butyl/Hypalon Rubber
Since most Rubber Lined Pipe applications are for transporting abrasive slurries, we test our materials for abrasion resistance to ensure we are providing you with the best product suited to your application.
We install rubber linings in pipe as small as 1½” dia. and as large as 144″ dia. We vulcanize (cure) the lining installed in pipe up to 88″ diameter (flanged) in our autoclaves. Curing in an autoclave produces superior adhesion properties over other processes (i.e. atmospheric and internal steam). Autoclave curing also maximizes the lining life in the pipe versus other methods.
We can fabricate and rubber line your pipe with a minimum lead-time. All Rubber Lined Pipe orders receive the same attention, whether it’s a large order, or a single piece.
Welded steel pipe (steel pipe manufactured with a weld) is a tubular product made out of flat plates, known as skelp, that are formed, bent and prepared for welding.
Our team is highly trained and experienced in servicing and producing all types of steel supplies.
