Tests were performed to investigate the effect of soil and disbondment configuration on CP penetration into coating disbondment. An innovative experimental setup was employed to measure the pH and potential of pipeline steel under a disbonded coating without disturbing the environment inside the disbondment. It was revealed that CP penetration was dependent on CP level, environment inside the disbondment, and distance from the holiday. CP penetration increased with increasing CP level, and decreased with increasing pH and distance from the holiday. For a circular FBE coating disbondment, the existence of clay soil in the solution acted as a physical barrier for OH- generated inside the disbondment to diffuse out, and lead to a very alkaline environment around the holiday area, i.e., pH 14. The presence of soil would cause an inhibiting effect to CP penetration. Majority of CP current was consumed at the holiday and vicinity, and only a very small portion of CP current could reach beyond 10 mm into the FBE and HPPC coating disbondment even at CP level of -1126 mVSCE. CP current could reach deeper into a narrow tunnel-shaped disbondment than into a circular-shaped disbondment with similar conditions, i.e., similar sizes of holiday and disbondment gap. Tunnel-shaped coating disbondment was subject to hydrogen accumulation inside the disbondment. In particular, HPPC coating disbondment had a higher tendency to trap hydrogen gas than FBE coating disbondment. The trapped hydrogen gas could effectively block the CP current from penetrating into the disbondment. The critical parameters required for the occurrence of near neutral pH SCC, i.e., near neutral pH and potentials close to Ecorr, could be achieved inside the tunnel-shaped HPPC coating disbondment under elevated CP levels of -926 mV and -1126 mV due to the presence of trapped hydrogen gas.

Key words: CP penetration, coating disbondment, clay soil, disbondment configuration, OH-, hydrogen accumulation, trapped hydrogen gas

In this paper, failure analysis methodology will be applied to the principal mechanisms by which FBE coatings fail during long term service; with specific application to case studies involving blistering. The case studies apply standard failure analysis techniques to determine the primary causes and modes of failures.
