China has built 68,000 km of oil and gas pipelines. During its construction,
large-diameter steel conduit are often stored in the open air due to factors
such as project suspension, construction surplus and project standby. If the
open storage time is long, problems such as rust pits, wall thickness reduction
after rust, aging of the anti-corrosion layer, etc. may occur, which may cause
the steel conduit to be degraded, discarded or re-processed, resulting in waste
of resources.
Steel Conduit
Mainly the Steel Conduit body is uncovered, the cover protection is not ideal. There is no support.
Today, OEM Carbon Steel Machining Products Supplier teach you the methods to store steel conduit.
1. Whether it is a bare tube or an anti-corrosion tube, if it needs to be stored for a long time, it should be protected by opaque covering when starting storage, to avoid corrosion of the steel pipe and aging and warping of the anti-corrosion layer.
2. The covering should be strong and durable to prevent prolonged exposure to sunlight and rot and leakage.
3. When the steel pipe is covered, the surface of the steel pipe should be ventilated to avoid the water vapour being difficult to volatilize and collect on the surface.
4. The steel pipe should have support when stored, and a certain distance from the ground to ensure ventilation of the steel pipe.
5. After the steel pipe is stored, the pipe end protector should be removed to prevent moisture from collecting at the contact surface of the pipe end protector and the steel pipe , which prevent it to volatilize.
6. Avoid contact with pollutant oil, copper, etc. when storing steel pipes.
