COATINGS USED IN WRPL
1. COAL TAR ENAMEL COATING (CTE) 2. COAL TAR BASED TAPE COATING (Hot tape) Above two coatings stopped using for field application due toenvironmental issues 3. FUSION BONDED EPOXY (FBE) 4. 3LAYER POLY-ETHYLENE COATING (3LPE) Above coatings are suitable for plant coating only. 5. COLD TAPE COATING (Poly Ethylene) 6. POLY URETHENE (PU)Above coatings are presently being used for field applications
7. LIQUID EPOXY COATING- Under trial run for bulk use

Sand Blasting-cleaning of pipeRequirements of sand blasting

Inspect surface the pipe for pitting/ any defects Check compressor, requirement – 7kg/sq.cm, 5.6 to 7 Cubic m/min, swing 15m

Abrasive size 1mm ( max), nozzleangle 30 deg.
Cleaning of pipe: Inspect surface after blasting ( Ref SA 2 ½ visual standard of SIS05 5900 “ Pictorial surface prep…. Steel surface”.
