Shorter FBE-coating tests pass trials
Evaluations by NOVA Corp. of Alberta have shown that 24-hr pipeline coating cathodic-disbondment tests will indicate coating adhesion as reliably as the industry-standard 48-hr tests. These results imply significant cost savings during pipelaying operations when these routine tests indicate the need for recoating a section of pipe. Within the oil and gas industry, it is recognized that by applying an FBE in accordance with an accepted standard (such as CSA), the pipeline operator can expect to receive a coating which will provide a high degree of corrosion protection. The operator can be confident that the requirements approved by a recognized standards organization have been developed to ensure the operator takes receipt of a quality coating. The results of the program described here have been submitted to CSA, which is now considering the inclusion of the 24-hr tests within its FBE standard.
