This paper describes the relevant characteristics of available joint coating types and examines different testing protocols to explore these characteristics. The objective is to assist in the selection of appropriate, practical, cost effective girth weld protective coatings. that will provide good long-term corrosion protection.
Protective coatings provide the primary defense against corrosion of pipelines. Adhesion is one of the most crucial properties for coatings to function properly and support successful long-term integrity. If the bond between the coating and substrate is weak or deteriorates, the coating ceases to be attached to the substrate, and the coating loses its effectiveness and eventually fails.
The durability of a coating can be described in a simplified manner as how well it adheres to the substrate and how well it performs over time once exposed to the environment. Oil and gas pipeline coatings need to withstand exposure to both mechanical and chemical forces for long periods of time to extend the life of the pipeline. A new class of 100% solids polyester polyols have been developed which can offer improved performance in urethane coating applications compared to other common protective systems such as epoxies, aspartics and solventborne polyesters
This paper will identify the potential causes of pipe coating failure, from the design angles to the soil types, to the fracture methods of rocks, and pull forces. It will present a logical method for evaluating the condition of an HDD pull prior to its installation so that the right level of coating protection may be applied. The pipelines that carry our world's energy and industrial networks are a vital lifeblood of our society. HDD’s play such an integral part in keeping all aspects of the pipeline and its construction running smoothly, the aim here it to ensure there are no hiccups along the way.
