Ceramic-lined Pipe

KOWOV manufactures ceramic-lined pipe for limestone slurry, coal powder, fly ash, mineral slurry and tailings lines in power, steel and mining plants. It combines a structural-ceramic tube with a seamless-steel outer pipe by hot fitting or structural-ceramic adhesive. Listed ceramic options include alumina, silicon carbide and composite ceramics; the listed temperature range is -50 °C to 500 °C

Design and construction

  • Low Operating Resistance
    Smooth internal surface, no corrosion, unlike seamless steel pipes with potential spiral protrusions
    smoothness, clean resistance coefficient of 0.0193, lower than seamless pipes
    Low operating resistance reduces operational costs
    Wear Resistance
    Structural ceramics provide wear resistance 266 times that of manganese steel and 171.5 times that of high-chromium cast iron
    The ceramic lining limits direct wear of the steel outer pipe in powder-processing systems
  • CERAMIC LINED PIPE (3)
  • CERAMIC LIN3ED PIPE (1)
  • Corrosion Resistance
    Structural ceramics resist acids, alkalis, seawater corrosion and scale formation
    Extends pipeline lifespan
    Good Temperature Resistance
    Operates normally from -50°C to 500°C due to stable crystalline structure
    Linear expansion coefficient of 6-8 × 10^-6 /°C, approximately half that of steel pipes, indicating good thermal stability
