Metal-lined Tubing

Metal-lined Tubing

A composite pipe material in which a corrosion-resistant alloy layer (e.g., stainless steel/nickel-based alloy) is embedded within the inner wall of carbon steel pipe. It combines the high strength of carbon steel with the excellent corrosion resistance of the alloy, achieving molecular-level bonding between the two metal layers through specialized manufacturing processes.

Product Specifications: 2-7/8″ to 3-1/2″

Steel grade: N80, L80

    Features

    The metal-lined tubing (bimetallic composite) represents the ultimate internal corrosion protection solution for high-corrosion, high-temperature, and deep-well applications. Its performance and reliability significantly surpass those of PNE-coated tubing, with notable advantages in service life, high-temperature resistance, anti-dropping properties, and thread corrosion protection, while offering even better lifecycle costs under extreme operating conditions.

    Grassroots (base management)

    Carbon steel or low-alloy steel grades such as J55, N80, and P110, offering high strength, excellent pressure resistance, and resistance to external extrusion, compliant with the API 5CT standard.

    Multilayer (inner corrosion-resistant layer)

    Made of 316L stainless steel, 2205 duplex steel, nickel-based alloys (Inconel 625), titanium alloys, etc., with a thickness typically ranging from 0.5 to 3 mm, providing corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and high-temperature performance.

    Joining methods

    Metallurgical bonding (press-fused anchoring, hot extrusion, overlay welding), with a bonding strength ≥210 MPa and a bonding rate of 100%, ensuring permanent adhesion that significantly outperforms mechanical linings and coatings.

    Advantages

    • Excellent Corrosion Resistance

      Effectively resists erosion from H₂S, CO₂, and Cl⁻ ions, significantly extending service life.

    • High Strength and High Pressure Resistance

      The main tube is constructed from high-strength carbon steel, ensuring excellent mechanical properties and resistance to extrusion damage.

    • On the Safe Side

      The composite interface exhibits robust adhesion, eliminating the risk of lining detachment and making it suitable for extreme operating conditions.

    • Low Overall Cost With Significant Economic Benefits

      Reduce the frequency of well maintenance operations, saving substantial maintenance costs and production downtime losses.

    Why Us

    Superior corrosion resistance

    Prevent wall thinning, perforation, leakage, and production shutdowns caused by corrosion, significantly reducing safety risks and environmental hazards.

    Anti-scaling and anti-wax formation to ensure efficient transportation

    Reduce the frequency of pipe cleaning, hot washing, and chemical dosing to lower operational costs and ensure long-term stable transportation efficiency.

    Extend service life, significantly reduce costs, and improve efficiency

    Extending the pump inspection interval, reducing the number of operations, lowering maintenance and material costs, and enhancing overall economic efficiency.
