A wide variety of steel pipe options are available to you, such as welded steel pipe, on the domestic and international market. Steel pipes can actually be used as long-distance oil and gas pipelines to effectively ensure energy security. However, the surface of steel pipes should be treated very carefully to avoid corrosion. Although corrosion cannot be completely determined by the surface, it has a great influence in addition to weather conditions, environmental factors, coating type, quality, etc. Therefore, it is very important to learn how to coat steel pipes in a simple but effective way.

Cleaning of steel pipe surface

For example, it is recommended that you clean it very carefully. In order to remove grease, oil, dust and lubricants, it is recommended to actually use solvents and lotions to clean the steel surface. However, such cleaning does not help to remove surface rust, oxides, flux, etc. Therefore, you may need tools such as wire brushes to polish the steel surface to remove loose or slanted oxidation, rust and weld slag. The ultimate goal is to really clean.

Chemical Treatment of Steel Pipe Surfaces

You can actually use chemical and electrolytic pickling processes to remove oxidation, rust and old coatings. While using chemical cleaning can be very effective in removing rust, oxidation, and old coatings, it is more likely to cause environmental contamination.

Rust Removal from Steel Pipe Surfaces

Spray rust removal can actually help to completely remove rust, oxidation and dirt. Spray rust removal is driven by a high-powered motor jet with high-speed rotating blades, which causes steel sand, steel shot, steel wire segments, and minerals to be sprayed on the steel surface under centrifugal force.

Spraying of steel pipe surface

After the cleaning work, you should choose the right type of paint to actually spray. There is a wide range of paints available on the domestic and international market for you to choose from. And it is recommended that you actually choose the most suitable type. The quality and type of paint may actually have a great impact on the surface of the welded steel pipe. You can apply paint with a spray gun or brush. There are also black steel pipes and API steel pipes available. Generally speaking, the spray gun can be better for painting and can save you a lot of time and paint.
