| 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. |

Detailed production requirements for pasting wear-resistant ceramic tiles inside steel pipes.
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.
Rockwell hardness of high alumina ceramics reaches HRA80–90, second only to diamond and significantly surpassing stainless and wear-resistant steels.
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.
With a stable inorganic oxide structure, high alumina ceramics resist acid, alkali, salt, and organic solvents without electrochemical corrosion.
High alumina ceramics can operate at temperatures up to 1400°C, suitable for extreme thermal environments.
Its smooth surface and low roughness (1/6 of steel) reduce flow resistance and prevent adhesion, supporting higher flow efficiency.
With density around 3.6g/cm³, high alumina ceramics are lighter than steel, simplifying transport and installation processes.
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.
Efficiently convey coal ash, fly ash, and abrasive materials with reduced maintenance and extended life.
Handle abrasive ores and corrosive slurries in extreme mining environments with exceptional durability.
Transport clinker, limestone, fly ash, and slag with superior wear protection in harsh processing systems.
Safely transport corrosive fluids and abrasive chemicals while maintaining pipeline integrity.
Manage hot slag, scale, and other abrasive materials in extreme temperature steel-making environments.
Provide reliable wear and corrosion resistance for transport pipelines in drilling and refining processes.
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.
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.
