The NOVA Gas Transmission pipeline system is protected by both cathodic protection (CP) and external coating. Pipelines suffer the threat of external corrosion where protective coatings fail and create shielding disbondments. The sampling and analysis of corrosion products to describe corrosion scenarios that occur under shielding disbondments are reviewed. Understanding this environment is of interest both as input to risk assessment models and as part of current research into stress corrosion cracking on pipelines.
