Lining Systems

PipeServ provides a comprehensive range of thin-film coatings and thick liners designed to meet the requirements of API 652, ensuring superior protection for above-ground storage tanks. These solutions are specifically engineered to prevent corrosion, chemical degradation, and structural wear, safeguarding your assets and extending their operational life.

  API 652 Guidelines for Internal Tank Linings  API 652 recommends appropriate lining systems for the protection of storage tank bottoms. The guidelines emphasize: 
  • Thin-Film Coatings: Recommended for moderate environments, thin-film coatings are applied at a dry film thickness (DFT) of less than 20 mils. They offer cost-effective protection and are easier to apply, making them ideal for tanks with lower levels of chemical or environmental exposure. 
  • Thick-Film Liners: For severe operating conditions, API 652 recommends thick liners with a DFT greater than 20 mils. These systems provide enhanced protection against aggressive chemicals and high corrosion risks, making them suitable for both new and existing tanks. 
Both types are suited for applications involving tank bottoms in compliance with API 620, 650, and other industry standards.  PipeServ supplies and applies a wide range of internal tank coatings and liners, tailored to meet the specific needs of your storage assets:  Thin-Film Coatings 
  • Designed for cost-effective protection in moderate environments. 
  • Easy to apply with minimal downtime. 
  • Ideal for petroleum, water, and light chemical storage tanks. 
Thick Liners 
  • Provide heavy-duty corrosion and chemical resistance. 
  • Suitable for severe environments with high levels of tank wear or degradation. 
  • Effective for older tanks requiring structural restoration.
