Coated pipe: it is a steel plastic composite pipe with an outer layer of plastic coating and a metal inner layer of rust prevention layer. The standard diameter is 27.8mm±0.2mm, and the outer layer is PE, ABS and ESD plastic layer.

What Is Coated Pipe

Coated Pipes, also referred to as Lean Tubes in lean manufacturing systems, offer exceptional durability and adaptability for various industrial applications. 

These pipes consist of welded steel with an outer plastic coating and an inner anti-corrosion layer, delivering both strength and versatility.

Coated Pipe series

Let’s trace back to Toyota in the 1990s. Faced with the high costs and inefficiencies of frequent production line adjustments, they developed a groundbreaking solution:

  • Replacing traditional welding techniques with standard steel pipes and detachable joints.
  • Applying a plastic coating to the steel pipe surfaces, creating what we now call lean tubes, to enhance connection stability.

This design not only improved flexibility and scalability but also reduced maintenance costs. The emergence of Coated Pipes became a critical tool in lean production, significantly optimizing work efficiency and resource utilization.

Why Use Coated Pipe for Lean Production

Coated Pipe Manufacturing Process

Step 1 – Forming

Compress the steel strip into a round tube using a tube-making machine.

Step 2 – Coating

Use an extruder to apply a plastic coating to the surface of the round tube.

Step 3 – Cooling

Cool the coated tube using an air box and water tank.

Step 4 – Cutting&Packaging

Cut the cooled lean tubes to standard lengths and package them.

FAQ

  • Galvanized steel: This material has a layer of zinc plated on Q195/Q235 steel. It is relatively soft with poor elasticity and is commonly used to make water pipes.
  • Cold-rolled steel: A carbon steel material offering better strength, rigidity, and elasticity than galvanized steel. It is typically used in automotive, electrical, and other industries.
  • Hardened cold-rolled steel: A specialized steel with an enhanced hardness process added to cold-rolled steel, improving strength, rigidity, and elasticity.

 

We use hardened cold-rolled steel, incorporating internal pipe coating to extend the service life of these corrosion resistant pipes, significantly reducing material loss.

  • Low-density polyethylene PE (LDPE): A soft material with a low melting point, commonly used for films and packaging materials.
  • High-density polyethylene PE (HDPE): A harder material with high heat resistance, often used for making anti-corrosion steel pipes, containers, and pipes.

 

In addition to internal pipe coating, we apply various external coatings to these coated pipes, including PE coatings, ABS coatings, or anti-static coatings, to ensure they function as durable corrosion resistant pipes and meet the requirements of different environments.

We monitor the quality of the entire process, from raw materials to shipment, ensuring that each lean tube meets high standards. For instance, every corrosion resistance tube undergoes gas testing before being wrapped with plastic coating. That's because:

  • Welds or leaks on the surface can significantly reduce the bearing capacity of the lean tube.
  • Once wrapped in plastic coating, surface issues become invisible, making gas testing essential before encapsulation.

 

We conduct strict quality control measures on coated anti-corrosion steel pipes and other rust resistant pipe products, coupled with exceptional after-sales service. This commitment has earned us global partners in over 20 countries and regions worldwide.

  • Coastal and island areas: Use lean pipes with anti-corrosion coatings, as high salt content increases metal corrosion risk. These corrosion resistant pipes provide lasting protection.
  • Tropical rainforest climates: Opt for corrosion resistant pipes to counter high humidity.
  • Cold, rainy, and snowy areas: Choose lean pipes with internal pipe coating / corrosion resistant steel pipes to handle humidity-induced corrosion. In extremely cold areas, stainless steel lean pipes are recommended.
  • Industries like printing, chemical, automotive, and machinery: Use ABS lean pipes for their chemical resistance, strength, and ability to withstand corrosion. These serve as excellent corrosion resistant pipes for demanding environments.
  • Anti-static environments: Anti-static lean pipes with conductive coatings are recommended to discharge static electricity effectively.
  • High-temperature environments: Use stainless steel pipes with chrome/nickel plating and heat-resistant casters for bakeries and similar settings.
  • Conventional areas: PE lean pipes with internal pipe coating are recommended for cost-effectiveness and durability, offering reliable corrosion resistance tube performance.
