Spiral steel pipe is a common pipe material, which is widely used in construction, petroleum, chemical industry, water conservancy, and other fields. However, due to long-term use and the influence of environmental factors, the surface is prone to rust, resulting in a shortened life of the pipeline. Therefore, it is very important to derust the surface of the spiral steel pipe, which can effectively prolong the service life of the pipe.
1. Mechanical derusting method: Mechanical derusting is a common method for removing rust on the surface of spiral steel pipes. Use a wire brush or sandpaper to rub the rust until it is completely removed. This method is suitable for spiral steel pipes with shallow surface rust, but care should be taken not to wipe excessively, so as not to damage the surface of the steel pipe.
2. Chemical derusting method: The chemical derusting method is a method that uses a chemical reaction to remove rust. Chemical substances such as acid and alkali can be used for derusting. This method is suitable for spiral steel pipes with serious surface corrosion. When using chemical substances, you need to pay attention to safety to avoid harm to the human body and the environment. At the same time, appropriate chemical substances and concentrations need to be selected to avoid excessive damage to the pipe surface.
3. High-pressure water jet derusting method: Use high-pressure water jet equipment to wash the surface of the spiral steel pipe to wash away the rust and dirt on the surface. This method is suitable for spiral steel pipes with heavy surface corrosion, and will not cause damage to the steel surface.
4. Welding derusting method
The welding rust removal method is a method of melting rust substances at high temperatures and can use electric welding, gas welding, and other tools for rust removal. This method is suitable for spiral steel pipes with serious surface corrosion. When using welding tools, you need to pay attention to safety to avoid harm to the human body and the environment. At the same time, appropriate welding tools and welding parameters need to be selected to avoid excessive damage to the pipe surface.
5. Spraying and derusting
Jet derusting is a high-power motor that drives the jet blades to rotate at high speed so that abrasives such as steel grit, steel shot, iron wire, and minerals are sprayed onto the surface of the steel pipe under the action of centrifugal force, which can not only completely remove rust, oxides, and dirt. And the steel pipe can reach the required average roughness under the action of severe abrasive impact and friction.
After spraying and derusting, it can not only expand the physical adsorption on the surface of the pipeline but also enhance the mechanical adhesion between the anti-corrosion layer and the surface of the pipeline. Therefore, spray rust removal is an ideal rust removal method for pipeline corrosion. Generally speaking, shot blasting is mainly used for internal and external surface treatment of pipelines, and shot blasting is mainly used for surface treatment of pipelines.
In addition to the above methods, the electrochemical derusting method, welding derusting, and other methods can also be used to derust the surface of the spiral steel pipe. No matter which method is used, it is necessary to pay attention to safety and environmental protection to avoid harm to the environment and the human body.
In addition to derusting the surface of the spiral steel pipe, the following measures can also be taken to prolong the service life of the pipe:
1. Regular inspection of pipelines: Regularly inspect the surface and interior of steel pipes, discover and deal with pipeline problems in time, and avoid serious corrosion and damage to pipelines.
2. Carry out anti-corrosion treatment: For spiral steel pipes that are susceptible to corrosion, anti-corrosion treatment can be carried out, such as spraying anti-corrosion paint, coating anti-corrosion materials, etc., to prevent corrosion on the surface of the pipe.
3. Control environmental factors: Try to avoid long-term exposure of spiral steel pipes to humid, acid-base, and other environments, and control the temperature, humidity, and other factors around the pipes to reduce corrosion and damage to the pipes.
In short, the rust removal work on the surface of the spiral steel pipe is very important, and can effectively prolong the service life of the pipe. In addition to taking appropriate rust removal methods, it is also necessary to regularly inspect the pipeline, carry out anti-corrosion treatment, control environmental factors, and other measures to protect the surface and interior of the spiral steel pipe to ensure the safe and stable operation of the pipeline.
