WE HELP TO DETERMINE THE PERFORMANCE OF SUITABLE PIPELINE COATING PROTECTION Coatings provide critical asset protection in some of the harshest operating environments within the global Energy sector. As a recognized leader in the provision of coatings testing, inspection and advisory services, Element helps you understand how your coating products and systems will perform once deployed in the field.
OVERVIEW Pipeline coating systems comprise of a number of layers each with their own functional property: · Anti-corrosion · Thermal Insulation · Adhesive layers · Impact and abrasion As modern coating technology and techniques advance, the resultant coated products become technically more complex and require addi tional support to meet the increasingly stringent compliance require ments. Applying a Field Joint Coating is a critical process used in the pipe laying industry to protect the welds of a pipe line from corrosion. Through its global network of testing laboratories Element Materials Technology provides an extensive range of coating testing services and environmental simulations following functional standards.
