Clad linepipe plates

Sourgas resistant plates for tubes

Sourgas occurs in oil and gas production and is considered highly corrosive. Only the best materials can withstand this aggressive medium. As one of the leading suppliers of sourgas-resistant linepipe plates worldwide, we supply roll-bonded linepipe plates with corrosion-resistant cladding for this specific application.

Protective cladding

The base material is decisive in linepipe production. Our roll-clad plates exhibit high strength, good toughness and best corrosion protection as a result of the cladding material. The combination of the X65 product with nickel-based alloy 625 achieves these optimized properties in the material. Our partners process the material into metallurgically bonded linepipe.

Quality defies the elements

The metallurgical bond of the clad linepipe withstands the highest mechanical stress and dynamic loads. These pipes are ideally suited for use in deep-sea pipelines under corrosive conditions.

Reeling and riser pipes 

  • Roll clad plates for pipelines 
  • High corrosion resistance, even for the most demanding sourgas requirements 
  • Reeling of pipelines more efficient and cheaper than welding on board 
  • Roll-bonded plates for metallurgically bonded linepipe to vertical pipelines (risers) 
  • Excellent metallurgical properties of roll-bonded plates for highest compressive strength

Linepipe

Made for toughest requirements

voestalpine Grobblech GmbH is one of the world’s leading producers of linepipe plates. More than two million tons of sour-gas resistant linepipe plates and very tough linepipe plates for thick-walled deep-sea lines testify to the success of our high-quality products. As a partner to renowned pipe makers we provide outstanding product quality, reliable service and flexibility.

Eddy current testing system successfully implemented in commercial projects

We at voestalpine demonstrate the absence of local hard zones (LHZ) by eddy current method and hold the biggest track record of LSAW material in operation. Supported by industry’s supreme accuracy and highly automated testing equipment we provide our partners the basis for a cost efficient project execution in severe sour environments (high H2S).

Extreme sour service and corrosion resistance

Roll-bonded clad plates are used for the manufacturing of clad linepipes. In many cases the mixture of oil, gas and a wide range of chemical elements in riserpipes or linepipes used for the transport of oil and gas formes a highly corrosive environment. Only the highest-quality materials are capable of withstanding this aggressive medium. Our roll-bonded clad linepipe plates with corrosion-resistant cladding meet these highest corrosion requirements. 

Extremely low arctic temperatures and harsh environmental conditions

We are there with land lines up to 48 inches (1,220 mm) in diameter.

We provide excellent toughness at low temperatures and our service is tailored to the individual customer from the time the order is received until the material is loaded for on-time shipment and delivery.
