The industrial landscape of Mongolia is dominated by large-scale mining and mineral processing. The primary challenge lies in the extreme continental climate, where temperatures swing from -40°C in winter to +40°C in summer, causing significant thermal expansion and contraction in standard metal pipes. This makes the use of a PU lined pipe essential for maintaining structural integrity against freeze-thaw cycles.
Furthermore, the transport of highly abrasive ore slurries leads to rapid erosion of uncoated steel. In Mongolian copper and gold mines, the high velocity of particulate matter necessitates the integration of a PU lined elbow at every bend to prevent premature wall thinning and catastrophic leakage in critical transport lines.
Chemical leaching processes used in local metallurgy introduce aggressive acids that destroy conventional alloys. To combat this, the industry is shifting toward specialized Rubber lined pipe fittings, which provide a synergistic balance of impact resistance and chemical shielding, reducing maintenance downtime in remote Gobi region sites.
