ISO 15579 is titled:
“Petroleum and natural gas industries — External coatings for buried or submerged pipelines used in pipeline transportation systems — Qualification test methods and requirements”
This standard defines the qualification test methods and performance requirements for coatings applied externally on buried or submerged pipelines. It covers various coating types such as fusion-bonded epoxy (FBE), multi-layer polyethylene (MLPE), and polypropylene coatings.
ISO 15579 ensures coatings provide effective corrosion protection, mechanical strength, and environmental resistance under pipeline operating conditions.
Pipelines are critical infrastructure components that require robust protection against corrosion, abrasion, and environmental degradation. Without compliant external coatings:
ISO 15579 provides a clear framework to qualify and test pipeline coatings, ensuring they meet stringent performance criteria for durability and safety.
Implementing ISO 15579 for pipeline coatings delivers:
🛡️ Enhanced Corrosion Protection
Extends pipeline service life and reduces failure risks.
🏗️ Mechanical Durability
Resists damage during installation and operation.
🌊 Environmental Resistance
Withstands moisture, chemicals, and temperature variations.
📏 Standardized Qualification Testing
Ensures coatings meet consistent quality and performance benchmarks.
⚙️ Supports Maintenance and Inspection Programs
Facilitates condition monitoring and repair planning.
