Understanding the Different Types of Pipe Coatings
Not all types of pipe coatings are created equal, and choosing the right one is crucial to ensuring your pipes’ long-term protection and performance. The effectiveness and longevity of a coating depend on selecting the proper material for your specific application. Choosing the wrong coating can result in premature failure, ineffective protection, safety hazards, as […]
How Much Does Heat Tracing Cost?
Heat tracing keeps pipes flowing when cold temperatures might cause water, oil, or chemical products to freeze, condense, or congeal. By providing a low-wattage current to the pipe surface, heat tracing helps maintain just the right temperature. So, if you’re transporting fluids by pipe in colder temperatures, you may rely on heat tracing technology to […]
Does Heat Trace Require Insulation?
Like peanut butter and jelly and mac and cheese, some things just work better together. The same goes for heat tracing and pipe insulation. This dynamic duo combines to deliver maximum heating efficiency to keep your fluids moving. In this blog, we break down how wire and wrapping combine in this classic industrial match-up. It’s […]
How Long Does Pipe Coating Last?
Pipe coating can add to the upfront cost of your project’s procurement, engineering, and installation process, but delivers value down the line in the form of lower maintenance costs, improved flows, and other efficiencies. It’s important to understand how long your pipe coating is expected to last to calculate the expected return on your investment […]
What You Need to Know About Industrial Pipe Coating
Sometimes short-term gains can lead to long-term pain. Relying on unprotected bare metal pipes for your industrial process or transfer project can save you money at installation time, but may end up costing you more in maintenance and repairs down the line. Unprotected pipes are susceptible to corrosion, abrasion, flow inefficiencies, and even catastrophic failure. […]
