Basalt lined pipes
for Japanese steel plants
Cast basalt composite elbows are used too many industrial areas where the abrasive, chemical and hot materials transported and which are commonly lined steel elbows.
Cast basalt composite elbow is composed of steel pipe tee, cast basalt pipe and cement mortar concrete. At the same time cement mortar is selected as the filling material and this can make the inside surface of steel pipe in alkali mediums. So the surface of steel pipe generates purifying films These films can prevent being rusted.
Basalt Fiber Reinforced Composites (FRC): Basalt fiber reinforced composites have attracted widespread attention in the engineering field due to their excellent physical, chemical, and mechanical properties, as well as good processability and cost-effectiveness. Basalt fibers are inorganic fibers produced by melting and spinning basalt rock, which is formed from volcanic magma cooling, through high-temperature melting, drawing, and other processes.
The physical and chemical properties of basalt fiber reinforced composites mainly depend on the surface characteristics of the basalt fibers and the chemical structure of the resin matrix. The surface of basalt fibers usually contains a large number of silanol groups, which can react with functional groups in the resin matrix to form a strong interface bonding force, thereby enhancing the overall performance of the composite material.
The environmental impact of basalt fiber reinforced composites is relatively low, thanks to the eco-friendly production process of basalt fibers. The production of basalt fibers does not require the addition of any harmful chemicals, and the raw material sources are abundant, causing less environmental pressure. Additionally, the production process of basalt fibers generates little waste, and the material can be recycled, further reducing the environmental impact.
Standard Steel-Plastic Pipe Sizes: The size specifications of Cast Basalt Composite Elbow usually follow specific standards to ensure compatibility and reliability in industrial applications.

The application of basalt fibers in Cast Basalt Composite Elbow involves the selection of thickness and length, which directly affects the mechanical properties and durability of the product. According to existing research, the thickness of basalt fibers is usually between 0.5mm and 3mm, and the length is determined based on the specific reinforcement requirements and molding processes.
Wear-Resistant and Corrosion-Resistant Pipeline Systems: Cast Basalt Composite Elbow has been widely used in pipeline systems due to its excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance. This type of pipeline system is mainly used for the transportation of solid particles, powders, slurries, and other media, especially in high wear and corrosive environments.
In the industrial field, Cast Basalt Composite Elbow is also used for various wear-resistant parts, such as elbows, tees, reducers, etc. These parts need to have high wear resistance when conveying abrasive media, such as granular materials and slurries.
Connection Methods: The connection methods of Cast Basalt Composite Elbow are crucial for the stability and safety of the pipeline system. According to the information provided by C.B.P. Engineering Corp., Cast Basalt Composite Elbow can be connected to the pipeline system in various ways to ensure the system's airtightness and durability.
When designing Cast Basalt Composite Elbow, several key factors need to be considered to ensure its performance and reliability.

Hard & Compact Smooth & Inner Withstands High-Abrasion & Corrosion In any of the process industries especially Sled and Cement corrosion and abrasion lead to significant downtime of the plant. Further, the useful life or the equipment itself may get impaired because of the high abrasive nature of the materials being used. Thus, ‘wear mechanism’ results in hut down, replacement, etc., which is costly, resulting in loss to tilt: tunic of millions of dollars.
The bend radius should be minimum 3 times of the nominal bore. At discharge end of each bend, cast basalt lined straight pipe of length 5 to 12 times the nominal bore must be used.
Cast basalt pipe can be divided into straight pipe, elbow, three-way (four-way) pipe and variable diameter pipe, etc.
Cast basalt lined pipes exhibit exceptional wear resistance due to several key characteristics:
Structural Design: Cast basalt lined pipes are engineered with a well-thought-out structure. The internal arrangement consists of interlaced pyroxene spheres or feather-like crystallites of 0.05-0.1 mm, enhancing the material's hardness and wear resistance.
Low Water Absorption: These pipes have low water absorption, contributing to their resistance against the deteriorating effects of moisture.
High Compressive Strength: Cast basalt pipes possess high compressive strength, enabling them to endure heavy loads and pressures without deformation.
Chemical Resistance: With the exception of hot phosphoric acid, hydrofluoric acid, and dissolved alkali above 30℃, cast basalt exhibits excellent corrosion resistance to a wide range of substances, including inorganic acids, organic acids, alkalis, salts, water, and organic solvents.
Hardness: The material's Mohs hardness reaches 7-8, indicating a high level of hardness that directly correlates with superior wear resistance. Harder materials generally exhibit better resistance to wear and abrasion.
Atomic and Molecular Structure: The combination of silicon and oxygen atoms in the silicate mineral structure is bound by strong forces at the atomic and molecular levels, contributing to the overall strength of the material.
While individual cast basalt lined pipes demonstrate good wear resistance in applications like blast furnace tanks, it's important to note the inherent brittleness of ceramic materials. This brittleness may result in breakage during heavy impacts. Additionally, single-piece pasting construction may exhibit signs of aging over extended periods. However, when properly applied and maintained, cast basalt lined pipes remain a popular choice for wear-resistant applications due to their durability and performance.
Cast blast lined pipe and fittings can connect with flange, quick assembly joints and welding.
Flange connection is one kind of common pipeline installation connections. By two pieces of flanges, pipeline, valve, equipments are connected and it forms a tight piping system. When pipeline pressure is larger, flange connection is priority selection. Flanges have lots of different sizes. Flange size is determined according to pipeline normal diameter and pipeline operation pressure.
The parameters of the outside steel pipe will be decided according to the working pressure of the system. The connection of the pipes and fitting will be of flange connections, easy—flexible joint connection or by welding.

Cast basalt is a mineral of exceptionally high abrasion resistance, unlimted resistance to moisture, high compressive strength and resistance to virtually all acids and alkalis and is completely corrosion free.
Cast basalt is produced by melting selected natural basalt broken into sizes of 20-50 mm in shaft furnaces at tempreatures around 1,300C, following by casting at which the metled basalt forms uniforms pherolithic crystals hence producing its typical physical propertics, in particular its exceptional hardness and wear-resitance.
Cast basalt reaches a value of hardness of 8( min ) on the Moh's hardness scale. for comparision : the highest value10is only attained by dimonds. by virtue of these properties,the silicate cast basalt provides outstanding protection against abrasion and scrubbing.
however, it is marked by asertain sensitivity ti impacts.Under Normal services conditions, cast basalt withstands tempratures up to approx.+ 350C or-40C. However Cast basalt sholud not be subjected ti temprature shocks.
