Impact, cathodic disbondment line-coating test results vary with surface, coating conditions
Fusion bond epoxy (FBE) coatings, although superior to other coating systems in protecting pipelines against corrosion, do not perform equally well. This was one result of a study conducted by Nova, an Alberta Corporation. These results indicate the need for comparing several FBE coating systems to define which will provide the optimum performance in relation to the conditions to which it will be exposed. Such comparisons will establish the quality and reliability of various FBE coating systems. Nova's tests studied variables influencing results obtained from cathodic disbondment and impact laboratory tests commonly employed during performance assessment and quality assurance of FBE coatings.
