When Do I Need Epoxy Pipe Coating?
The signs of when your pipe needs pipe coating vary depending on how the pipe is used. In other words, does the pipe transport gas, water, wastewater or other substances? Another factor that influences what issues are present in a pipeline is the pipeline material.
Let’s say you discovered that your fire suppression system has a restricted flow when performing an annual test. This low flow can indicate an issue present in the fireline. Because most firelines consist of metallic pipelines, such as cast-iron, the cause of this low flow can be tuberculation. Other issues that you may experience in your pipelines can include corrosion, leaks and other structural integrity issues.
When you use epoxy lining in your pipeline will depend on the issue you’re addressing. For tuberculated cast iron pipes, epoxy lining repair becomes necessary after the tuberculation is cleaned out. The reason behind this is that lining your pipeline prevents it from showing future signs of tuberculation for up to 50 years. Epoxy pipe lining can address other problems such as corrosion by targeting the leaks and breaks corrosion can cause.
