BUTTING has developed a glued mechanically lined pipe that can be laid by the reel-lay process, without using inner pressure or increasing the wall thickness of the corrosion-resistant liner: the GluBi® pipe!
The basis is a mechanically lined BuBi® pipe, which features an additional special adhesive between the carbon-manganese steel and the corrosion-resistant liner. The production process for the GluBi® pipe corresponds to 90 % of the production process for the BuBi® pipe. Thus, a time-honoured and tested process can be employed, whose reproducible quality level is universally recognised.
The GluBi® pipe is available in a wide range of materials and combination options with realisation of very tight tolerance requirements. The dimensions may range from 6″ to 18″. The pipe helps reduce laying costs, and potential reduction in material costs.
