The Use Characteristics of Epoxy Pipe
 

Diverse methods
Various resin, curing agent and modifier systems can meet almost all application requirements, ranging from extremely low viscosity to high melting point solids.

 

Easy to cure
The epoxy resin system can be cured in almost any temperature range of 0 to 180°C by selecting a variety of curing agents.

 

Strong adhesion
The presence of polar hydroxyl groups and ether bonds inherent in the epoxy resin molecular chain[1] makes it have high adhesion to various substances. The epoxy resin has low shrinkage during curing and generates low internal stress, which also helps to improve the adhesion strength.

 

Low shrinkage
The reaction between epoxy resin and the curing agent used is carried out by direct addition reaction or ring-opening polymerization of the epoxy group in the resin molecule, without the release of water or other volatile by-products. Compared with unsaturated polyester resins and phenolic resins, they show very low shrinkage (less than 2%) during the curing process.

 

Mechanical properties
The cured epoxy resin system has excellent mechanical properties.

Process of Epoxy Tube
 
 

Raw material preparation for epoxy pipes
The main raw materials of epoxy pipes are epoxy resin and hardener. In addition, some auxiliary materials such as fillers, plasticizers, diluents, etc. are required. These raw materials need to go through a series of screening, testing, proportioning and other processes to ensure that their quality meets production requirements.

 

Powdering and mixing
The epoxy resin, hardener and auxiliary materials are mixed in a certain proportion to obtain an epoxy mixture. Then fine quartz powder, graphite powder and other fillers are crushed, screened and mixed with the epoxy mixture. Finally, a uniform, particle-free, and moderately viscous epoxy powder mixture is obtained.

 

Extrusion molding
The epoxy powder mixture is made into a tube by extrusion molding. The specific operation is to extrude the epoxy powder mixture into a mold in a heated extruder and pressurize it to form a tube. When extruding a tubular object, the extrusion speed, temperature and pressure need to be strictly controlled to ensure the smoothness and uniformity of the inner wall of the pipe.

 

Curing treatment
The extruded pipe is sprayed with heating and light to make it cure quickly. During this process, attention should be paid to the uniformity of temperature and light and the reasonable control of curing time to ensure the performance and quality of the pipe.

 

Performance testing
After the curing treatment is completed, the pipe needs to be tested for various performances, such as corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, pressure resistance, etc. After passing the test, it will be packaged and transported, and finally the epoxy pipe will be delivered to the customer for use.

How the Epoxy Tube Works

 

 

The working principle of epoxy pipe mainly involves its excellent insulation performance and corrosion resistance, as well as its application characteristics in specific environments. Epoxy pipe is usually made of electrical alkali-free glass fiber cloth impregnated with epoxy resin, baked, hot-pressed in a molding mold, and processed. This material has high mechanical properties, dielectric properties, and good machinability. It is suitable for use as an insulating structural component in electrical equipment and can be used in humid environments and transformer oil. The heat resistance grade of epoxy pipe is divided into Class B (130 degrees) and Class F (155 degrees), which ensures its stability and safety in high temperature environments. In the production process of epoxy glass fiber winding pipe, high-quality glass fiber is impregnated with ultra-low viscosity high-temperature resistant epoxy resin and cross-wound under microcomputer control. This structure not only improves the bending strength and mechanical properties, but is also suitable for severe earthquake areas. In addition, the epoxy glass fiber winding tube has added high temperature resistant resin, which is resistant to high temperature and can be used for the production of hollow casing under high temperature and high pressure conditions of SF6 high voltage circuit breaker arc extinguishing chamber. At the same time, the internal resistance to SF6 gas decomposition products and compounds shows its excellent insulation performance and corrosion resistance.

 

The production process of epoxy resin coated steel pipes inside and outside involves pretreatment of the base pipe, including sandblasting and rust removal, preheating, painting and curing to ensure that the epoxy resin coating is uniform and has strong adhesion. This type of pipe is widely used in the construction and petroleum industries because of its good corrosion resistance and durability, and can meet various harsh use environments.
