Failure Analysis of Pipeline Coatings
This free white paper includes an extensive case study of the failure analysis of a 12-inch diameter Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) coated steel pipe that was under cathodic protection while in service and showed blistering of the FBE coating and corrosion on the surface. Standard failure analysis techniques were applied to determine the primary causes of the blistering.
This paper provides an analysis of pipeline coatings and considerations for an objective investigation of the fundamental causes behind a coating failure.
