SECTORS C5 – CX
Oil and Gas
Protecting pipeline and terminal assets is a field of expertise built over many years. The changing climate along a pipeline makes it difficult for a single system to perform equally at every point.
TYPICAL LOAD · Pipeline exposure, terminal atmosphere
RISK ANALYSIS
This is where corrosion comes from.
- Changing climate and soil conditions along the pipeline
- Salt and hydrocarbon exposure at terminal sites
- Local corrosion at weld areas
- Difficulty of inspection and maintenance over long distances
RECOMMENDED SYSTEM
Coating build-up.
The layer build-up typically used in this sector. Values are indicative; the final system is determined by the site inspection report and the product technical data sheet.
PrimerZinc-rich epoxy
80 µm
Intermediate - MidcoatEpoxy High Solids
200 µm
Finish / TopcoatPolyurethane
80 µm
TOTAL DFT360 µm
CATEGORYC5 – CX
Indicative system example.
APPLICATION AREAS
Where is it used?
Above-ground pipelines
Terminals and filling facilities
Storage tanks
Valve and station equipment
Steel support structures
POINTS TO NOTE
- Assess the category site by site; the pipeline is not uniform
- Repeat surface preparation in post-weld areas
- A long durability target reduces inspection costs
