Coating Services: Weight Coating

 

Product Description:

Tenaris offers different concrete coating thicknesses and densities according to customer needs. Our suppliers are qualified to coat pipe with a concrete density ranging from 2200 Kg/m3 to 3250 Kg/m3 and with a thickness ranging from 1" to 4".

Tenaris offers concrete coating to the external surface of pipe:

6-18m in length

6-60" in nominal diameter
up to 50kg total weight of coated pipe

Weight coating is ideal for situations where customers face challenging gravity requirements when installing pipelines in swamps, rivers and offshore.

In addition to its primary function of adding weight to a pipeline, the concrete coating protects the pipe and its corrosion coating against harmful marine organisms, construction damage during transport, handling and from damage by stingers during laying operations.

Tenaris suppliers also apply wire mesh as reinforcement, this is a spot-welded mesh of galvanized low-carbon steel wire designed specificaly to reinforce concrete coating on pipelines.
The line wires are deeply crimped in the middle between two cross wires.
Depending on customer specification, Tenaris applies the following number of layers:

Tenaris Corrosion Inhibitor Options

For concrete coating thickness 0 - 70 mm: One layer

For concrete coating thickness of more than 71 mm: Two layers

The line wires and the cross wires are calculated according to the specified percentage of reinforcement, the thickness of the concrete and the number of layers.
