Coal Pipe Elbow Repair
Combo Wear FC (fast cure)
6/6/96
Delmarva Power and Light Indiana River Plant
Utility Power Generation
Problem:
These pneumatic conveying pipe elbows would receive extreme abrasive wear from processing coal. The
wear was so severe that replacement was required every 2 months.
Solution:
Repair area was sandblasted to a SSPC-SP5 white metal finish. Surface area was then chemically
cleaned using Cleaner Blend 300. Brushable Ceramic was applied to a thickness of 10 mils, acting as a
primer for Combowear. Following a partial cure of Brushable Ceramic, (2 hours), Combo Wear FC was
applied to a thickness of 1/2”. Combo Wear FC provided a long lasting abrasion resistant protective
lining to the elbow. Combo Wear FC also provided a functional cure in only 90 minutes, reducing the
high cost of downtime.
