Fabrication refers to the process of making metal bodies like pipes, fittings, vessels and shells by cutting, molding and assembling the metal. After preparing the structures of metal, rubbers like neoprene, silicone, natural or other products are molded in various forms to be fitted in these metal structures like piping, fittings, vessels and shells to make them resist corrosive actions of air, sea water, acid, chemicals and sunlight. Rubber lining in pipeline is used to transport abrasive and corrosive chemicals, acids and sea water from one place to another. These rubber lines protect the metal of the pipeline from damage caused by the corrosive elements.
Rubber lining can be applied on any metal surface be it copper, stainless steel, iron, fiberglass, aluminum, brass or carbon steel. Likewise vessels are also rubber lined in order to protect the metal used in vessels and enable them to hold gases or liquids at high pressure. Rubber lining in vessels depends on the shape and size of the vessels. Rubber is cut in accordance to the shape and size of the vessel in which it is to be molded. Thus rubber lined vessels are highly efficient and produce good results. In the same way rubber lining is also done in valves, tanks and pulleys and make them highly efficient, useful and durable.
Sand mill stator and rotor is chemical equipment with rubber lining used for slurry dilution in titanium dioxide plants. Sand filter is also rubber lined equipment used mainly for the purpose of purification of water. Sand filters can be broadly categorized into three types: rapid
sand filters, slow sand filters and up flow sand filters. Sand filters are used extensively in various industries all over the world. The purpose of factories to use sand filters is to avoid the water pollution caused by the industrial activity and flow out water free from chemicals, taste and odors.
Thus it can be acknowledged that the role of rubber lining is extremely significant in all kinds of metal equipments. Had there been no rubber lining in the metal equipments, these equipments would have been damaged by elements like chemicals, water, air, acids and other corrosive elements. Rubber lining thus protects the metal surface from abrasion and thus increases the durability of the metal and decreases the maintenance and replacement cost of the metal.
Fabrication and Rubber lining is extremely important in equipments such as pipes, vessels, and shells as the rubber protects the metal body of these equipments from corrosion due to contact with air, water and sunlight. Thus the rubber lining increases the durability of these equipments and also reduces the cost of their maintenance.Fabrication and Rubber lining is extremely important in equipments such as pipes, vessels, and shells as the rubber protects the metal body of these equipments from corrosion due to contact with air, water and sunlight.
