The Science Behind Field-Applied Liquid
Epoxy Pipeline Coatings
Field-applied liquid epoxy coatings have moved
from the shadows to become one of the most
important methods of pipeline corrosion
protection. Read about the science behind this
essential process for protecting underground
pipelines from corrosion.
Protecting a Pipeline When Its Coating
Has Aged
The country's existing pipeline infrastructure was
built with materials that are no longer used today,
although they were state-of-the-art at the time.
Coating materials, for example, have significantly
improved over those used decades ago.
Editor's Choice
Assessing the Risk of Coating Failure
from Residual Soluble Salts
Residual soluble salts are contaminants on a
substrate surface that affect coating performance.
The primary soluble salts that the coatings industry
must manage are in the form of chlorides, sulfates,
and nitrates.
PHMSA Eyes Safety Upgrades on
Hazardous Liquid Pipelines
New regulations for hazardous liquid pipelines in
the United States are part of a series of changes
recently implemented on pipeline safety from the
U.S. Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and
Job Creation Act of 2011.
