High Working Pressure PP / Polypropylene Encapsulated Hydraulic
Control Line Flatpack
Meilong Tube manufactures high quality seamless and redrawn,
seam-welded and redrawn coiled tubing which are made from
corrosion-resistant austenitic, duplex, super duplex stainless
steel and nickel alloy grades. 100% of products are used as
hydraulic power control lines, chemical injection lines, alloy
tubing in umbilicals and instrumentation tubing for the
exploitation engineering in the upstream oil and gas industry.
Coiled tubing is available in sizes arrange from outer diameter
0.125 inch (3.175 millimeters) to 1 inch (25.4 millimeters). Wall
thickness is up to 0.083 inch (2.108 millimeters). Lengths up to
65600 feet (20,000 meters) are available for cost-effective
umbilical manufacturing. More sizes within the scope can be
customized to be produced and delivered for meeting your special
requirements.

- Pressure rating at 100°F (38°C), neutral and static conditions
As more oil and gas extractions move into deeper and harsher waters
where extreme offshore environments demand extreme safety, our work
is to help you use the “right” corrosion resistant material for
coiled umbilical tubing to improve the safety and reliability of
your work. This is the power for driving our innovations and
continuous development.
Encapsulation Description
Encapsulation is a plastic that is extruded over metal tube.
Encapsulation prevents damage to the metal tubes during the
manufacturing process. The encapsulation also provides additional
abrasion resistance and is required if cable protectors are
installed to enhance the holding force over each production tubing
connection.
Encapsulations are available in a wide range of configurations with
options of single pass encapsulation and dual pass encapsulation
for added protection.

(Tefzel) / ECTFE (Halar) / FEP / PFA / ECA 3000 / PVC
