The importance of pipeline spraying is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. **Anti-corrosion effect**: Pipeline spraying can effectively prevent the inner wall corrosion of metal pipelines and extend the service life of pipelines. Especially for pipelines that transport corrosive media, such as seawater pipelines, spraying anti-corrosion layers is necessary.
2. **Improving transportation efficiency**: Spraying the inner wall of the pipeline not only prevents internal corrosion, but is also an effective means to increase the pipeline transportation volume. The United States and other countries began research on pipeline inner wall corrosion in the 1970s and invested a lot of manpower and material resources.
3. **Environmentally friendly construction**: Spraying polyurea elastomer (SPUA) technology is a new type of solvent-free, pollution-free green construction technology that meets environmental protection needs and is environmentally friendly.
4. **Economic benefits**: Compared with traditional excavation methods, the use of spraying technology to repair pipelines can significantly save costs, reduce construction time and environmental impact.
5. **Structural repair**: Spraying technology can be used for structural repair or chemical protection of pipelines, especially for pipelines with larger diameters or in areas with complex traffic conditions and where excavation is impossible.
6. **Fast curing and water flow**: The polyurethane lining material has the characteristics of fast curing. It starts to cure in 2 seconds, reaches a non-falling state in 2 minutes, and is completely cured in 4-6 hours. It can be watered 30 minutes after application.
7. **Adaptability**: The spraying operation has strong adaptability to irregular base surfaces and can adapt to the adhesion of various corners and uneven contact surfaces.
8. **Improving pipeline performance**: Spraying technology can improve the wear resistance, pressure resistance, corrosion resistance and other properties of pipelines, and increase the service life of pipelines.
In summary, pipeline spraying technology plays an important role in anti-corrosion, improving transportation efficiency, environmental protection construction, economic benefits, structural repair, rapid curing, adaptability and improving pipeline performance.
