Electric Resistance Welded (ERW) Steel Pipe
For use in water, petrochemical, mining and structural applications.
​
The standard available diameters range from 219.1mm to 610mm. Pipes are offered in four standard lenghts: 6.096m (20ft), 9.144m (30ft), 12.192m (40ft) and 18.288m (60ft). Non standard diameters / thicknesses and lengths are available on request.
In-line quality monitoring stations at each stage
Steel Strip Lamination Inspection
Round Forming
Hi-Frequency Electric Welder
Ensures perfect shape
and edge geometry which is required for a consistent quality weld.
Ensures full control of the welding process.
In-line ultrasonic systems monitor the weld integrity and measure weld bead geometry after internal and external
scarfing. Seam annealing, sizing, cut-off and beveling completes the final pipe geometry. Hydrostatic testing and a
final ultrasonic inspection (if required) complete the pipe testing regime.

3-Layer Coating for Steel Pipe
The Hall Longmore facility is fully equipped with the latest “sleeve-type” and “side head extrusion” 3-layer coating processes.
​
Sleeve-type extrusion designed for pipe diameters from DN150 to DN600.
Side extrusion capable of coating pipe diameters up to DN1200.
​
3 Layer Coating is the generic term for a pipe coating comprising of an FBE base or primer layer, an extruded co-polymer adhesive intermediate layer and an extruded polyethylene or polypropylene top coat, as described by System B1 of the Canadian Specification.
3LPE Advantages
High impact resistance.
High corrosion resistance with low cathodic disbondment.
Excellent resistance to soil stresses.
Ability to accept pipe bending without damage to coating.
Highly impermeable to water penetration.
Superior adhesion to steel.
Good flexibility.
Excellent insulation properties with longterm resistance to stray current.
Can be customised to specific operating conditions by varying the thickness ofthe coating in line with specifications.
Fusion Bonded Medium Density Polyethylene Coating (FBMDPE)
Xtalene is a Fusion Bonded Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE) Coating which is applied directly to the pipe by dipping a pre heated pipe into a fluidised bed of uniquely formulated polyethylene powder.
​
The pipe surface is prepared to Sa2 ½ cleanliness using a wheel abrator. The pipe is then heated with gas burners which remove any residual dust or contaminants and to prepare the pipe for the coating process.
​
Finally, the pipe is rotated in a fluidised bed of MDPE powder which fuses onto the hot surface to the required thickness - 1.6 mm to 2.3 mm, depending on diameter.
Summary of Features
Low water absorption
Excellent adhesion to steel surfaces
High impact, load and soil stress resistance
Ability to accept pipe bending without damage to coating
High dielectric strength and electrical resistivity
Wide service temperature range (-40ºC to +70ºC)
Low CP current requirements (typically <5 A/m2)
Consistent application success rate
Exceptional UV protection for above ground application as well as storage prior to laying
Rubber Ring Joints (RRJ)
The Rubber Ring Joint push-fit application system of effecting pipeline joints combines several benefits in one product. This proprietary system offers ease of installation (similar to competing non-steel products), the strength and reliability of a steel pipe, and the superior properties of the FBMDPE coating.
In many applications there is nothing to surpass it.
Dual Layer FBE Coating
A Proprietary DL FBE powder coating system.
Dual layer FBE is an application dependent two-pronged solution comprising an abrasion resistant overlay (ARO) and a moisture resistant overlay (MRO). Both are intended to provide an additional protection layer to the FBE corrosion protection base layer. ARO forms a tough outer layer that is resistant to gouging, impact, abrasion and penetration. Especially suited for pipe Jacking and Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD).
Summary of Features
Pipe lengths up to 18.288m (60 feet)
Speed of production
Approximately 2km of DL FBE coated pipe can be produced every day
DL FBE coating systems meet electric defect insulation (EDI) test specifications
DL FBE coating systems promote long lifespans
ARO coatings are designed for rough handling
DN100 to DN600 nominal bore
A thorough surface preparation process is conducted.
Solvent free epoxies (SFE) are applied to the pipe inner surface through a lance and spray nozzle. For solvent free epoxies the two components are heated to 60ËšC using heated water jackets along the lance to the mixing
nozzle.
​
Solvent borne epoxies (SBE) are used in smaller bore pipelines where access to effect repairs is not possible. SBE's allow overcoating of damaged or flawed linings.
Cement Mortar Linings
For use in water lines with a Ph value greater than seven. The system offers an appropriate balance between performance and economic considerations with respect to corrosion, wear protection, ease of installation and final cost.
Hall Longmore has both drag trowel (DN200 to DN700)
and spin lining (DN700 to DN2100) facilities in-house.
Lining Capability: DN200 mm to DN2100.
