Wear Resistant Reducer
Abrasion Resistant Fitting
The ceramic tile lined pipe reducer is a specialized pipe fitting designed to transition between two different pipe diameters while maintaining resistance to abrasion, erosion, and chemical attack. Internally lined with high-purity alumina ceramic tiles, these reducers are ideal for use in slurry transport, ash handling, mineral processing, and pneumatic conveying systems where flow speed changes can lead to extreme wear.

Ceramic tiles (typically 92%–95% Al₂O₃) are precisely arranged and bonded inside the steel body to form a continuous wear-resistant lining that absorbs high-velocity impacts and protects the reducer’s internal surface. This ensures prolonged equipment life and system reliability even under severe working conditions.

Reducers can be supplied in concentric or eccentric form depending on application needs and flow alignment requirements. The outer shell is constructed from durable carbon steel or alloy steel, and the ends can be flanged, grooved, or welded for seamless system integration.

No. Process Standard Inspection
1 Cleaning the inner surface Remove all debris and floating ash inside the steel pipe and equipment thoroughly. Inspected by the construction supervisor.
2 Rust, oil, and paint removal Completely eliminate rust, grease, and paint to reveal metallic luster. Polish using tools and wipe clean with cloth. Approved by quality inspector before proceeding.
3 Adhesive preparation Mix strictly as per ratio; stir ≥4 times. If filler is added, mix adhesive first and then mix all ≥3 times. Handled by assigned personnel.
4 Surface repair Fill any potholes on aged surfaces using embedded material before applying ceramic tiles. Quality inspector approval required.
5 Tile pasting Tiles must be clean; adhesive must be applied evenly to tile and pipe surface to ensure uniform thickness. Inspected by responsible construction supervisor.
6 Gap and edge repair Gaps >3mm must be filled with wear-resistant filler. Edges should be neatly trimmed and sealed. Final inspection by quality and construction heads; submitted to client for approval.
7 Maintenance Allow natural curing for ≥12 hours after completion and acceptance by Party A. —

Production details of the wear resistant alumina ceramic tiles

Key Features

Ceramic tile lined pipe is a composite product developed with advanced technology, combining a durable steel shell and an inner lining of wear-resistant ceramic for superior performance and extended lifespan.

Using interlocking ceramic tubes bonded with high-strength adhesives and supported by welded steel fixtures, the design ensures reliable protection against abrasion. These pipes offer flexible installation, high durability, and cost-effective wear solutions.

High Hardness

Rockwell hardness of high alumina ceramics reaches HRA80–90, second only to diamond and significantly surpassing stainless and wear-resistant steels.

Excellent Wear Resistance

High alumina ceramics are 266 times more wear-resistant than manganese steel and 171.5 times more than high chromium cast iron, extending equipment service life over 10x.

Corrosion Resistance

With a stable inorganic oxide structure, high alumina ceramics resist acid, alkali, salt, and organic solvents without electrochemical corrosion.

Thermostability

High alumina ceramics can operate at temperatures up to 1400°C, suitable for extreme thermal environments.

Good Self-Lubricity

Its smooth surface and low roughness (1/6 of steel) reduce flow resistance and prevent adhesion, supporting higher flow efficiency.

Light Weight

With density around 3.6g/cm³, high alumina ceramics are lighter than steel, simplifying transport and installation processes.

Applications of Ceramic Tile Lined Pipes

Designed for demanding environments requiring superior abrasion, corrosion, and thermal resistance.

The use of Ceramic tile lined pipe and fittings is ideal in services that are prone to erosive wear, and where standard pipe and fittings would fail within 24 months or less.

Power Generation

Efficiently convey coal ash, fly ash, and abrasive materials with reduced maintenance and extended life.

Mining Operations

Handle abrasive ores and corrosive slurries in extreme mining environments with exceptional durability.

Cement Industry

Transport clinker, limestone, fly ash, and slag with superior wear protection in harsh processing systems.

Chemical Processing

Safely transport corrosive fluids and abrasive chemicals while maintaining pipeline integrity.

Steel & Metallurgy

Manage hot slag, scale, and other abrasive materials in extreme temperature steel-making environments.

Oil & Gas

Provide reliable wear and corrosion resistance for transport pipelines in drilling and refining processes.

Suggested Usage of Ceramic Tile Lined Pipes

Common applications where ceramic tile lining significantly improves wear resistance and extends service life.

Ash Pipe & Elbows Add-Mix Transport Lines Coal Piping Clinker Chutes
Chutes Coal Conduit Lining Coal Handling Chute Lining
Fan Lining Pulverizer Housing Liner Coal Mill Pulverizer Cone Lining
Burner Feed Pipes Classifier Cone Lining Cullet Chutes & Hoppers
Cyclone Lining Downcomer Pipe Lining Coal Mill Exhauster Lining
Fan Housings Drag Conveyor Lining Coal Mill Pulverizer Lining

Ceramic alumina linings offer five times the abrasion resistance of conventional ceramic materials. Proper use of these linings reduces maintenance costs and extends the service life of pipeline systems.

They are especially effective in hydraulic and pneumatic conveying systems, particularly steel tubes, where they significantly increase durability and efficiency.

Cross Section After One Year of Use

Ceramic lining preserves steel pipe integrity under high abrasion conditions.

While metals are ductile, they lack abrasion resistance. In contrast, ceramics are extremely hard but brittle. The combination of a metal outer shell and ceramic inner lining creates a hybrid pipe with high strength and excellent wear resistance.

This synergy offers outstanding anti-wear and anti-corrosion performance. Ceramic-lined pipes are ideal for harsh operating conditions, significantly extending service life while reducing downtime and replacement costs.

Sunny Steel provides custom ceramic-lined steel pipes tailored to your dimensions, budget, and operating needs—ensuring the most efficient and reliable solution available.
