The commercial application of rapid cure fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) coatings to line pipe is a fast operation. Accordingly, it is possible to coat a large number of pipe joints improperly before the inferior…
This document describes a test method for the degree of reaction of fusion-bonded epoxy coatings by direct-current resistivity. This method covers the determination of a transition temperature of cured fusion-bonded epoxy coatings by measurement of…
The selection of girth weld coatings for pipe coated with fusion bonded epoxy is usually determined by specific criteria related to the particular project. Other than the actual long-term performance of the coating there are other factors that are…
The overall objective was to determine the accuracy, resolution, and limitations of equipment typically used for modern aboveground ECDA work with respect to locating holidays and disbondments with commonly used coatings with varying spatial…
The project aims to address the need for an inorganic coating composite for corrosion protection of pipelines in an aggressive environment. The inorganic coating does not generate CO2 emission or volatile organic content (VOC). Inorganic coatings are…
This project was begun in 1955 to determine the status of the technology of internal coating of pipe and, if possible, to specify the types of materials most suitable as internal pipe coatings for gas service.
