The PRCI Technical Committees have carried many research projects related to the pipelines coated with fusion bond epoxy (FBE) coatings. This document presents a summary of past PRCI funded studies related the effectiveness of those coatings to protect pipelines and related fittings to external corrosion. Since not all studies sponsored by other industry groups (e.g., API, EPRG, APIA, etc.) or by individual pipelines companies are not included, this report does not represent a review of the topic in the broader industry-wide sense.

The PRCI Technical Committees have carried many research projects related to the pipelines coated with fusion bond epoxy (FBE) coatings. This document presents a summary of past PRCI funded studies related the effectiveness of those coatings to protect pipelines and related fittings to external corrosion. Since not all studies sponsored by other industry groups (e.g., API, EPRG, APIA, etc.) or by individual pipelines companies are not included, this report does not represent a review of the topic in the broader industry-wide sense. Instead, it is designed to provide a guide to past work so that current PRCI members and its research contractors can identify and locate project reports that might be of use in understanding the processes involved with the use of FBE coatings.
