pipeline coating properties
Pipeline coating properties such as external anti-corrosion, internal coating, concrete weight coating, thermal insulation, and others.
Pipeline maintenance workers operate different equipment to keep the suitability of the pipelines. They perform checks for deviations and administer chemicals according to the needs and cleaning aim (e.g. corrosion shunning)
