Pipeline Integrity: Combining Coating Integrity and Cathodic Protection Surveys
Elizabeth Nicholson, Corcon 2014 Corrosion Conference & Expo, Mumbai
Many types of surveys are done to allow the operator to assess the condition of a pipeline. Two surveys are essential to any pipeline integrity management program, coating integrity and cathodic polarization. Coating integrity is investigated by generating a pulse on the pipeline, then walking the pipe to locate any voltage gradients in the soil.
Two Halves of a Whole: Coatings and Cathodic Protection
Elizabeth Nicholson, B.Eng.,Presented at: POLSKI KOMITET ELEKTROCHEMICZNEJ OCHRONY PRZED KOROZJĄ STOWARZYSZENIA ELEKTRYKÓW POLSKICH w WARSZAWIE September 19-21, 2012 in Jurata, Poland
Coatings prevent corrosion by creating a barrier between the structure and the electrolyte. Cathodic protection works by changing the potential of the structure to interfere with the corrosion process. Both work together to protect the structure. Surveys can be done to evaluate the condition of the coating and of the cathodic protection.
