... ABSTRACT The selection of a coating for suitable use on the exterior of a pipeline is an important consideration due to the safety and cost consequences of potential corrosion. Because there are numerous fusion-bonded epoxy (FBE) coating systems available for subsea pipelines under cathodic...

... for the underlying FBE under high hydrostatic pressure and mechanical protection for offshore applications. Some oil and gas operators have chosen standalone Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) anti-corrosion coating for offshore in the last few years. The specifications for FBE coatings established by these operators often...

... ABSTRACT To mitigate the effect of highly corrosive water injection media (aquifer water), which has a very high total dissolve solid (TDS) value with high oxidizing agents, internal fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) coatings, in addition to corrosion inhibitor were used to provide internal corrosion...

... ABSTRACT Blisters are one of the most frequently observed failure modes in FBE coatings of buried pipelines. Initial small disbondment defects at the coating-steel interface, due to embedded abrasives and voids are potential sites for blisters to form and grow. Two types of blisters...

... Abstract Fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) coatings protect the underlying metal from corrosion by creating a barrier against corrosive chemicals and moisture. However, pipeline coatings fail due to cathodic corrosion, disbonding, improper application, or improper curing being investigated as root...

... ABSTRACT: One of the most frequently observed failure modes in FBE coatings on buried pipelines is the development of blisters, which compromise the function of the coating to provide corrosion protection to the steel substrate. Osmotic blistering due to surface salt contamination is commonly...

... transportation have always been protected from corrosion through a coating system. Fusion bonded epoxy coatings, in combination with cathodic protection have been established as the best protective option for many years. Nowadays, failure of FBE coating systems is a fact, due to the increase in temperature...

... INTRODUCTION ABSTRACT Accelerated aging at high temperature coupled with extrapolation is typically employed to predict the service life of fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) coatings. This approach assumes that the aging mechanism at high temperatures is the same as it is at the actual service...

... to prevent steel substrates from corrosion. However, the coating industry has not been able to reliably measure quantitatively the interfacial adhesion of FBE coating to steel. FBE coating usually has a high initial interfacial adhesion to steel (estimated to be higher than 6000 psi) that exceeds...

... epoxy resins have commonly been used to produce highly crosslinked coatings with high glass transition temperatures. FBE coatings formulated with these resins exhibit poor flexibility, poor impact resistance, and reduced adhesion to steel. However recent advances in epoxy technology have made...

... INTRODUCTION ABSTRACT A novel fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) coating based on brominated epoxy resin with a high glass transition temperature (Tg) was developed for pipeline protection. Properties of this FBE coating related to high temperature service are described in this paper. The new FBE...

... ABSTRACT After forty years of use, many end users do not recognize one very important benefit of Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) pipeline coating, it is "Fail Safe". As with all pipeline coatings, FBE coatings have failed while in service, but rarely is there corrosion on the pipe under the failed...
