Pipeline cathodic protection designs and AC interference studies, whether completed using conventional calculations or computer modeling, are heavily dependent on the quality of the pipeline’s coating. Coating resistance is often coarsely estimated using established values from literature where pipeline age, coating type, and subjective Operator […]

Methods of determining the coating quality on directionally drilled pipe sections were investigated in a research project sponsored by the Pipeline Research Committee of the American Gas Association. Tests were conducted on FBE coated pipe samples which were buried in three different soil conditions and […]
