External Fusion Bond Epoxy
Coating for Steel Pipe
1. Scope
1.1
This Standard deals with the qualification, application, inspection, testing, handling, and storage of materials required for plant-applied fusion bond epoxy coating applied externally to bare steel pipe. The coated pipe is primarily intended for buried of submerged service for oil or gas pipeline systems.
Note: it is not intended that the application of this Standard should prevent the development of new materials, equipment, or practices, nor is it intended to prescribe specifically how such innovations should be handled.
