3LPE/3LPP Joint Coating Specification Development to Ensure Consistent End-to-End Pipecoating Performance
A properly specified and applied pipeline anti-corrosion coating is critical to ensure that the chosen coating is capable of delivering the required performance over the life time of a buried or submerged pipeline. Given that the factory applied (mainline) pipe coating must be ‘cutback’ from the pipe’s edges in order to allow for the steel pipe to be welded to the next pipe in the field during pipelay, the field-applied coating that is applied over this welded area (field joint) forms an integral part of a pipeline’s continuous corrosion protection coating system. A high quality effective end-to-end coating is of paramount importance to the life of a steel pipeline and if performance and compatibility are sacrificed at the joint area, overall pipeline integrity can be significantly reduced.
This presentation will provide those developing 3LPE/3LPP field joint specifications with an understanding of the best practices that have been employed in the industry over the past decade on pipeline projects that have required equivalent coating performance over the entire pipeline. The presentation summarizes the performance of the leading ‘factory grade’ joint coating systems 3LPE/3LPP coated pipelines and is also intended to dispel the belief among some that field joint coating performance requirements must be significantly reduced from those of the factory applied coating.
