Qualification Testing of Fusion Bonded Epoxy Coatings for Pipeline Exteriors

The selection of a coating for suitable use on the exterior of a pipeline is an important consideration due to the safety and cost consequences of potential corrosion.  Because there are numerous fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) mainline and field joint coating systems available, the selection of the optimum coating system is as much an art as a science.

The selection of a coating for suitable use on the exterior of a pipeline is an important consideration due to the safety and cost consequences of potential corrosion.  Because there are numerous fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) mainline and field joint coating systems available, the selection of the optimum coating system is as much an art as a science. This paper discusses some of the variables and constraints to be considered in the selection of FBE mainline and field joint coating systems; FBE coating systems in common use; the failure mechanism of pipeline coatings with cathodic protection; and laboratory screening tests used for coating selection, with a commentary regarding testing variables that may influence test results and account for differences in field performance.  Finally coating characterization tests, which may be used for quality control and problem-solving purposes are discussed
