Corrosion Alliance is Moving forward
We recently organised a meeting where we got together with people from gas pipeline infrastructure, cathodic protection engineers, people from ministry of defence and many others. During this meeting, these participants were invited to provide feedback on our platform. What particularly stood out. There is a great need to provide people on the shop floor […]
Dare to Prepare
How much courage do you have? Do you have the guts to go beyond the delusion of the day? Dare to see that we can substantially improve surface pre-treatments? So that we can avoid coating problems. This starts with accepting that a large proportion of coating failures are caused by incorrect or insufficient surface pre-treatment. […]

Which type of carbon steels are used for pipelines?
Older pipelines are usually made from steels that fall under the definition of St 35 and St 37. For pipelines, this is not very common anymore. For new pipeline projects, the API ranges are the most relevant standard framework. For example, the API 5LX X70 is one of the more recent types of steel being […]
