FAQ
Q1: What is a composite pipe?
A: A pipe with two layers – a strong carbon steel base (Q355B) and a corrosion-resistant alloy cladding (304, 316L, etc.) bonded together.
Q2: Why choose Q355B composite pipe over solid alloy?
A: Cost savings of 40-60% while providing equivalent corrosion resistance.
Q3: Is the bond between layers reliable?
A: Yes. Explosive or roll bonding creates a metallurgical bond that will not delaminate under normal service conditions.
Q4: Can composite pipe be welded?
A: Yes. Standard welding procedures apply, using alloy filler material for the cladding layer.
Q5: What certifications do you provide?
A: EN 10204 Type 3.1 MTC for both base and cladding materials.
Q6: Do you offer third-party inspection?
A: Yes. SGS, BV, TUV available.
Q7: What is the maximum length?
A: Standard up to 12 meters. Longer available upon request.
Q8: Do you offer free samples?
A: 30cm sample available. Shipping fee applies.
