The protection of steel pipes with coal tar enamel systems: importance of specification and design

Abstract

Summary The properties of coal tar systems and the mechanical requirements of pipeline protections before and after installation of the pipelines are defined. Correct specification related to the particular service conditions and adequate inspection are of paramount importance. With correct selection of primer, grade of coal tar enamel and glass reinforcements coal tar based systems are providing the most reliable protection under almost all service conditions.
