Haihao Group Delivers ASTM A234 WPB 3PE Coated Pipe Fittings to Singapore Pipeline Project
Haihao Group recently completed the production and shipment of a batch of ASTM A234 WPB seamless pipe fittings with DIN 30670 reinforced 3PE coating for a customer in Singapore. The order included seamless tees and eccentric reducers designed for corrosion-resistant pipeline applications where long-term durability and coating performance are critical.
Before coating, all fittings underwent sandblasting and magnetic particle inspection to ensure surface quality and product integrity. The finished products were then coated with a reinforced three-layer polyethylene (3PE) system in accordance with DIN 30670 requirements, providing outstanding protection against corrosion and mechanical damage during service.
Project Overview
The shipment included seamless carbon steel fittings manufactured according to ASME B16.9 and protected with a reinforced 3PE anti-corrosion coating system.
Product Specifications
| Product | Size | Material | Coating | Standard |
| Seamless Equal Tee | 8″ × 8.18 mm (SCH 40) | ASTM A234 WPB | DIN 30670 Reinforced 3PE Coating | ASME B16.9 |
| Seamless Eccentric Reducer | 8″ × 4″ (SCH 40 × SCH 40) | ASTM A234 WPB | DIN 30670 Reinforced 3PE Coating | ASME B16.9 |
Why ASTM A234 WPB 3PE Coated Pipe Fittings Are Popular in Pipeline Projects
The key products supplied in this order were ASTM A234 WPB seamless pipe fittings with DIN 30670 reinforced 3PE coating, a widely specified solution for buried and above-ground pipeline systems.
ASTM A234 WPB is one of the most commonly used carbon steel materials for butt weld fittings due to its excellent strength, weldability, and cost-effectiveness. When combined with a high-performance 3PE coating system, the fittings gain superior resistance to corrosion and environmental exposure.
Key benefits include:
- Excellent corrosion protection
- Long service life
- Strong adhesion performance
- High impact resistance
- Reliable underground pipeline protection
- Reduced maintenance costs
These advantages make ASTM A234 WPB seamless pipe fittings with DIN 30670 reinforced 3PE coating an ideal choice for demanding pipeline environments.

Understanding the DIN 30670 Reinforced 3PE Coating System
One of the most important aspects of this shipment was the application of a reinforced three-layer polyethylene coating system.
A typical reinforced 3PE coating consists of:
Layer 1: Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE)
The epoxy primer provides excellent adhesion to the steel surface and delivers the first level of corrosion protection.
Layer 2: Adhesive Layer
The copolymer adhesive creates a strong bond between the epoxy layer and the outer polyethylene layer.
Layer 3: Polyethylene Outer Layer
The outer polyethylene coating provides mechanical protection against impact, abrasion, moisture, and soil stress.
Because of this multilayer structure, DIN 30670 reinforced 3PE coated pipe fittings are widely used in transmission pipelines, water infrastructure, and energy projects.
Seamless Tee and Eccentric Reducer for Efficient Flow Control
The shipment included two essential pipeline components.
Seamless Equal Tee
The tee enables branch connections while maintaining flow distribution throughout the piping system.
Applications include:
- Oil and gas pipelines
- Water treatment facilities
- Industrial process plants
- Utility distribution systems
Seamless Eccentric Reducer
The eccentric reducer provides a smooth transition between different pipe sizes while helping prevent fluid accumulation in horizontal pipelines.
It is commonly used in:
- Pump suction lines
- Process piping systems
- Drainage networks
- Petrochemical facilities
Both products were manufactured as seamless ASTM A234 WPB fittings, ensuring excellent structural integrity and pressure resistance.
Surface Preparation and Quality Inspection
To ensure coating quality and long-term performance, all fittings underwent comprehensive inspection procedures.
Sandblasting
The steel surface was cleaned through abrasive blasting to achieve the required surface profile before coating application.
Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)
Magnetic particle inspection was conducted to identify potential surface discontinuities and ensure product reliability.
Dimensional Verification
Each fitting was inspected according to ASME B16.9 dimensional requirements.
Coating Inspection
The finished DIN 30670 reinforced 3PE coated pipe fittings were checked for coating thickness, adhesion, and visual quality.
These quality-control procedures help ensure consistent product performance in the field.
Typical Applications for 3PE Coated Pipe Fittings
The supplied ASTM A234 WPB seamless pipe fittings with DIN 30670 reinforced 3PE coating are widely used in:
Oil and Gas Transmission Pipelines
Long-distance transportation systems requiring superior corrosion protection.
Municipal Water Infrastructure
Water supply and distribution pipelines operating in buried environments.
Petrochemical Facilities
Process pipelines exposed to moisture and corrosive conditions.
