Abstract
The National Bureau of Standards (NBS) had undertaken a comprehensive study of underground soil corrosion of iron pipes and plates. The maximum pit depth data for different types of wrought iron and carbon steel pipes have been widely analyzed and utilized in the corrosion literature. There is another important but relatively obscure data set about the testing of pipes with bituminous coating that NBS carried out in collaboration with the American Petroleum Institute (API). This program tested dozens of coatings on operating line pipes as well as short sections of pipes at 15 soil sites over a 10 year period (1930–1940). This paper presents an overview of this data and presents statistical analysis of protection offered by coatings.
