Pipeline Integrity & CorrosionImpacts
• Cost of corrosion is nearly 3% of GDP for
USA
• For Oil and Gas Pipeline networks in the
United States, it is approx. US$ 7 billion per
year.
• Corrosion rated as 2nd most common
threat for pipeline integrity [10‐26%]
• Coating cost is only 5‐6% of project cost but
play very important role in integrity.
External Corrosion onPipelines
All buried or submerged pipelines are susceptible
to corrosion. Corrosion is the damage of a
substance which is usually a metal.

The rate of corrosion depends on various

parameters including:
▪ Pipeline Operating Temp.
▪ Surroundings e.g. water quality
▪ Soil quality & burial status
▪ Interference with other facility

Types of Applications
▪Factory applied coating is applied in a semi-automated process
under controlled conditions.
―Pipe sections 40’- 80’ in length and 2” – 60” in diameter
• We have coated pipe > 60” in diameter
―The coated pipe is transported to the right-of-way for installation.
―Mainly used to protect infrastructure used to transport Oil and Natural Gas.
▪Field applied coatings are applied on the right-of-way where the
pipe is being installed.
―Girthwelds
▪ Custom Coatings are applied in an industrial setting, but applied
with manual application equipment.
―Elbows, fittings, pump casings

Pipeline Coating Portfolio Overview

Single, Dual & Multi layer Fusion-Bonded Epoxy
Coating for Pipe
Applications
Used on pipes in the oil and gas industries and water and wastewater
utilities markets.
•Single Layer - For conditions including elevated temperatures up to
135°C and corrosive environments.
•Dual Layer-For hot, moist environments, where coatings require
high mechanical resistance, protection against abrasion, gouging
during bores for directional drilling and impact resistance.
•Multi Layer - For hot pipelines and high mechanical resistance and
performance up to 135°C.
External Fusion BondedEpoxy (FBE)
