One way to protect the ends of steel pipes and maintain their quality and integrity is to use an End Protector. The following are some of the benefits and applications of its use in the steel pipe industry.
Protecting the End of the Pipe as a Connection Between Pipes
End protectors play a role in protecting the ends of pipes from impacts, scratches and other physical damage. This is important because the ends of the pipe will undergo a jointing process (connection between pipes) which can affect the pipe's ability to connect properly when used.
Protection Against Corrosion
End Protectors can help prevent direct exposure of pipe ends to elements that can cause corrosion. This is especially important for pipes that will be stored outdoors or exposed to extreme weather.
Ease of Identification
End Protector can be a specific code that makes pipe identification and tracking easier. This will help logistics and operational teams in stock management and monitoring steel pipe quality.
Protection When Shipping & Handling Pipes
When steel pipe is transported in harsh environmental conditions, pipe end protection is critical in preventing leaks or damage during shipping, and handling of the steel pipe, reducing the risk of damage that could reduce the pipe's service life.
