Even after nearly a decade, the use of whitewash ultraviolet (UV) protective coatings proved to be extremely successful in preserving and retaining the original dry film thickness (DFT) of fusion bond ...

Pipeline coating is the engineered application of protective layers to the external and/or internal surfaces of line pipe to control corrosion, resist mechanical damage, improve hydraulic performance, ...

Studies undertaken for the 3,700-km Alliance Pipeline to quantify the effects of sunlight on fusion-bonded epoxy (FBE) coating on stockpiled line pipe indicated that the coating under full sunlight ...

Anti-corrosion coating failures are a significant factor in reduced operational life of pipelines. The failure of a pipelines coating system accelerates corrosion and can result in leaks requiring ...

Steel pipe manufacturer Hall Longmore is looking to attract a key domestic market segment with its newly launched dual layer fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) coatings. MD Kennith van Rooyen tells Engineering ...

Offshore pipeline coating application protects steel from corrosion, provides mechanical protection during installation, adds submerged weight for stability, and—when specified—delivers thermal ...
