As a carrier for oil and gas transmission, buried anti-corrosion spiral steel pipes are one of the important facilities in ground engineering. It is a link between upstream resources and downstream users. Due to the long-term burial of pipelines underground, over time, external soil characteristics and terrain settlement factors can cause corrosion, perforation, and leakage of pipelines, resulting in serious losses to the country. The economic losses caused by construction and corrosion of oil and gas pipelines can be divided into direct losses and indirect losses. Direct losses include: replacement equipment and component costs, repair costs, and anti-corrosion costs, etc; Indirect losses include: production stoppage losses, loss of products caused by corrosion leaks, accumulation of corrosion products or losses caused by corrosion damage. Indirect losses are much greater than direct losses and are difficult to estimate. In addition to the serious economic losses caused by pipeline corrosion, it can also cause the leakage of harmful substances, pollute the environment, and even cause sudden disasters and accidents, endangering personal safety.

The adoption and construction quality of external anti-corrosion technology for long-distance pipelines and gathering pipelines transporting natural gas are directly related to the safe operation and service life of the pipelines. Due to the complex terrain and diverse soil properties in the areas where pipelines pass through, buried steel pipelines require different external anti-corrosion measures. The main characteristics of the development of pipeline external anti-corrosion technology are reflected in the high performance, composite, long service life, and good economy of anti-corrosion materials.

The adhesive tape products for anti-corrosion of ground pipes mainly include polyethylene anti-corrosion tape, polypropylene fiber anti-corrosion tape, polyethylene 660 anti-corrosion tape, and epoxy coal tar anti-corrosion cold wrapping tape. Among them, polyethylene anti-corrosion tape and polypropylene fiber anti-corrosion tape have the largest application range and can fully meet various pipeline anti-corrosion projects. It has the characteristics of strong adhesion, good adhesion to the backing material, good impact resistance, and good matching with cathodic protection, and is used in some pipeline projects in North America, South America, and China.
