Composite Repairs And Cathodic Protection

Picture for Composite Repairs And Cathodic Protection

The motivation for this work was to perform a comprehensive test program to investigate several commercially available composite repair systems and their interactions with cathodic protection. Multiple test methods were utilized to prove there remains a low probability of shielding for composites of typical thickness and in a typical environment. This work will also discuss how results from current industry qualification tests (such as those specified in ASME PCC-2) can be considered when making long-term decisions regarding the effects of cathodic protection on composite repairs and the pipelines on which they are installed. This paper provides an innovative approach to test and validate the interactions of cathodic protection with several commercially available composite repair systems.

Composite repairs have been extensively used over the past twenty-plus years as a high-integrity repair technology for high pressure transmissions pipelines. Numerous industry test programs have increased the knowledge related to repair techniques, repair design, and quality control of installations. However, little work has been performed related to the interactions of cathodic protection and composite repairs. This paper reviews several approaches for determining if cathodic shielding may occur under a composite repair.

Preventing cathodic shielding can be considered in two different phases. First, the coating (or composite repair) must disbond or fail creating a local environment below the coating. Secondly, the coating (or composite repair) must allow for the permeation of cathodic current to the pipe surface providing the corrosion protection. Current industry standards, such as ASME PCC-2, can address the first aspect by examining the results of the cathodic disbondment tests and quantifying the level of disbondment. The second aspect can be addressed through an innovative and comprehensive test program that investigates several commercially available composite repair systems and their interactions with cathodic protection. Multiple test methods were utilized to prove there remains a low probability of shielding for composites of typical thickness and operating environment.

AC interference studies have become increasingly popular in an industry where shared right of ways have increased and there has been a better understanding of how AC interacts between pipelines and powerlines that are collocated with each other. While modeling software for AC interference studies have been developed since the 1990s, advancement in AC interference processes have occurred as more has been learned over the years. When performing an AC interference study there are three steps that need to be completed: field data collection, modeling, and mitigation design. Within this paper, we can compare a project from ten years ago to a project from today to understand the developments that have been made over the course of time to improve the way we develop our mitigation designs.

This paper reviews the concerns of applying excessive levels of cathodic protection current to pipelines and the need for establishing an upper potential limit. Coating disbondment, hydrogen induced stress cracks, stress corrosion cracking, hard spots and the problems associated with measurement of a true polarized pipe-to-electrolyte potential are addressed.
