Pipeline Integrity and Coatings

> Maintaining pipeline integrity: Critical for continued safe

operation of gas distribution and transmission systems

> Accomplished through a comprehensive corrosion control

program which includes correctly specified and applied coatings

used in conjunction with cathodic protection

> Large selection of coating systems on the market

– Endless new product introductions

– Many product reformulations

> Improvements

> Changes to meet new regulations

– The multiple choices present a challenge for Corrosion Engineer

and Integrity Managers

Page 2: GTI Field Applied Coatings Research Program · GTI Field Applied Coatings Research Program Presented to OPS Advanced Pipeline Coatings ... Paul Beckendorf Gas Technology Institute

> To thoroughly test the full range of available coating systems

– Determine which coating systems are most suitable for various

environments and situations

– Provide pipeline operators with information needed to make critical

decisions regarding coating systems

> Project results to date will be issued in 3Q05

– Gas Transmission Company funders - comprehensive results

– Manufacturers

> Overall generic results

> Product-specific results to each manufacturer for their products

only

GTI’s Project

Pipeline Coatings Evaluations

Underway at GTI

> In 2002 – FBE Compatible Test – Over 700 applications of

70+ pipeline coating systems made to 24" & 8" welded pipe

sections

– The pipe sections, except for the weld joints, coated with FBE

– Weld joints coated with the full range of available coating

systems

– Manufacturers applied their respective coatings

– Samples excavated and analyzed in 2004 and early 2005

– All work performed per agreed-to specifications (handouts)

Pipeline Coatings EvaluationsUnderway at GTI

> In 2004 – 3-Layer PE Compatible Test - Over 300 applications of 30+ pipeline coating systems made to 8” welded pipe sections

– Pipe sections, except for the weld joints, coated with 3-

layer PE

– Weld joints coated with full range of available coating

systems that are compatible with 3-layer PE

– Manufacturers applied their respective coatings

– All work performed per agreed-upon specifications

Visual Inspection of Excavated Coating Systems

> Indentions

> Abrasions

> Deformations

> Rust

> Blistering

> Wrinkles

> Peeling

> Delamination

Post-Excavation Hardness andHoliday Testing

> All joints tested for pinholes and cracks

> Hardness testing measurements taken to compare to

original hardness

Page 18: GTI Field Applied Coatings Research Program · GTI Field Applied Coatings Research Program Presented to OPS Advanced Pipeline Coatings ... Paul Beckendorf Gas Technology Institute

Adhesion Testing

> Adhesive and cohesive failures

> Adhesion strength measured

up to 3,000 psi

Peel Testing

> Some field-joint systems, such as the heat shrink sleeves,

tapes, wraps and composites were not suitable for

adhesion testing due to their composition

> For these systems, a specially modified GTI peel test

protocol was established and used.

Page 19: GTI Field Applied Coatings Research Program · GTI Field Applied Coatings Research Program Presented to OPS Advanced Pipeline Coatings ... Paul Beckendorf Gas Technology Institute

Failure Analysis

> In some cases, the failure investigation revealed serious

deficiencies in the coating system that resulted in severe rusting

and pitting on the substrate, under the coating

> During failure investigation, the condition of the underlying

substrate was documented and photographed for future

reference and evaluation

Next Steps

> 3Q05 – Issue Report of Findings to Date

> 2007 – Excavate 5 year FBE Compatible Coating Systems for Failure Analysis and Testing

> 2007-2008 – Excavate 3 year 3-Layer PE Compatible Coating Systems for Failure Analysis and Testing
