Pipe section, pipe assembly, method for manufacturing a pipe section, and use of a pipe assembly

A pipe section for conveying oil and/or gas, the pipe section comprising:

• a support layer consisting of a metal base material, the support layer having:
• a length,
• an inner diameter,
• an inner surface,
• an outer surface, and
• at least two pipe section ends each having an end region and an intermediate region;
• a first coating on each end region of the inner surface of the support layer, the first coating consisting of a first metal coating material, the first coating being welded to the support layer, and the first coating having a first thickness, a penetration depth, and a longitudinal extension;
• and
• a second coating on the intermediate region of the inner surface of the support layer, the second coating consisting of a second metal coating material, and the second coating is sprayed onto the support layer using a thermal spraying process,
• wherein the second coating has a second thickness of less than or equal to 2500 μm.

A method for manufacturing a pipe section, the method comprising steps of:

• providing a support layer consisting of a metal base material, the support layer having:
• a length,
• an inner diameter,
• an inner surface,
• an outer surface,
• at least two pipe section ends each having an end region and an intermediate region;
• applying a first coating in each end region of the inner surface of the support layer using a laser deposition welding process;
• and
• applying a second coating in the intermediate region of the inner surface of the support layer using an arc spraying process.
