3. Sandblasting is a fairly popular technology, but it requires specialized skills, a dedicated facility, and specialized equipment. If used incorrectly, sandblasting can damage the pipe wall thickness, so it is rarely used for thin-walled pipes.
4. Temperature heating – heating the pipe to 1000 degrees Celsius ensures the combustion of all insulating materials and facilitates subsequent mechanical cleaning of scale, dirt, and rust. However, heating can cause pipe deformation, which can be critical in some cases, so this technology is rarely used.
