Primer on Pipeline Coatings Offered

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 2018

By Dr. Y. Frank Cheng and Richard Norsworthy, NACE International

Expertise on how coatings interact with pipeline and cathodic protection systems

According to The U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), corrosion causes about a quarter of all incidents involving significant onshore hazardous liquid pipelines and 20 percent of incidents involving gas transmission pipelines.
 
The NACE International best-selling title, Pipeline Coatings, offers expertise to address this corrosion and other relevant issues, starting with a comprehensive history and description of pipeline coating types. Authors Cheng and Norsworthy cover selection and evaluation methods for each type of coating system and provide technical information on testing, application and use. They also discuss how coatings work with cathodic protection (CP) and CP shielding.
 
This book is recommended for those who design pipeline or CP systems.
 

Readers can augment their expertise in asset protection by tapping into the knowledge of professionals with decades of experience in pipeline coatings. Pipeline Coatings is available in paperback or as a downloadable e-book.
