The surface preparation of steel linepipe prior to anticorrosion and weight coating for offshore service

Abstract

Traditionally carbon steel has been used for both offshore and onshore pipelines and these have been coated with a variety of anticorrosion coatings including bituminous coatings such as reinforced coal tar enamel, asphalt enamel; fusion bonded epoxy powder and polyethylene. The use of more exotic alloys (e.g. Duplex stainless steel) had previously been limited to risers.
