When using cathodic protection on coated pipelines, end users must consider the problems that exist if the coating disbonds (loses adhesion).  Many in the pipeline industry assume cathodic protection will solve their external corrosion problems without truly understanding the relationship between the coating and cathodic protection.

When using cathodic protection on coated pipelines, end users must consider the problems that exist if the coating disbonds (loses adhesion).  Many in the pipeline industry assume cathodic protection will solve their external corrosion problems without truly understanding the relationship between the coating and cathodic protection.  Cathodic protection (CP) current is very effective when it actually has a path to the pipe metal.  Most external corrosion on pipelines is caused by disbonded coatings that shield CP, not lack of CP. When disbondment or blistering occurs, most coating types divert current from its intended path, therefore, CP current cannot adequately protect the external surfaces of a pipe.  These are called “shielding” pipeline coatings. There are certain types of pipeline coatings that will allow the CP current to effectively protect the pipe if disbondment occurs and water penetrates between the coating and the pipe.  These are called “nonshielding” pipeline coatings.  This paper will discuss the differences in the two types of coating systems and how CP works with these coatings.

Shielding of cathodic protection (CP) by pipeline coatings poses a serious threat to pipeline integrity.  The difficulty in pipeline coating selection to avoid shielding is that the same properties that make a pipeline coating a good corrosion mitigation material can also lead to CP shielding. The key to proper coating selection is to select a coating that has the necessary properties to provide good corrosion protection but also one that, when disbondment and failure occurs, fails in such a way to allow effective cathodic protection.

An experimental setup was designed to investigate the cathodic protection (CP) penetration into coating disbondment. Embedded detection probes underneath the disbondment enabled pH and steel potential measurements without disturbing the environment inside the disbondment.
