• revised requirements for epoxy powder properties;
• revised wording for verification of coating thickness gauges;
• revised requirements for the calibration and verification of holiday detectors;
• revised requirements for coating repairs;
• revised test specimens size requirements for impact resistance test;
• revised requirements for gouge resistance test;
• added number of specimens required for epoxy powder properties tests;
• revised acceptance criteria for 28 d cathodic disbondment at 65 °C and 95 °C qualification tests;
• updated requirement for the evaluation of gel time versions of epoxy powder formulations; and
• revised production coating test requirements for 24 h cathodic disbondment at 65 °C test. CSA Z245.21 deals with the requirements for plant-applied external polyethylene coating for steel pipe. The major changes to this edition are as follows:
• revised wording for verification of coating thickness gauges;
• revised requirements for the calibration and verification of holiday detectors;
• revised requirements for coating repairs; and
• added number of specimens required for all tests. CSA Z245.22 deals with the requirements for plant-applied external polyurethane foam insulation coating for steel pipe. The major changes to this edition are as follows:
• revised requirements for external polyethylene jacket thickness;
• revised requirements for coating repairs;
• added number of specimens required for all tests;
• revised wording for verification of coating thickness gauges; and
• revised requirements for the calibration and verification of holiday detectors. These Standards were prepared by the Subcommittee on Coatings, under the jurisdiction of the Technical Committee on Petroleum and Natural Gas Industry Pipeline Systems and Materials and the Strategic Steering Committee on Petroleum and Natural Gas Industry Systems, and have been formally approved by the Technical Committee. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• CSA Z245.20:22
• Plant-applied external fusion bond epoxy coating for steel pipe Scope 1.1 This Standard covers the qualification, application, inspection, testing, handling, and storage of materials required for plant-applied fusion bond epoxy (FBE) coating applied externally to bare steel pipe.

The coated pipe is intended primarily for buried or submerged service for oil or gas pipeline systems

1.2

This Standard covers the following coating systems

1. System 1A: single-layer FBE with a glass transition temperature of 115 ° C or less
2. System 1B: single-layer FBE with a glass transition temperature greater than 115 °C
3. System 2A: two-layer FBE with an anti-corrosion coating and a protective overcoat
4. System 2B: two-layer FBE with an anti-corrosion coating and an abrasion-resistant overcoat
5. System 2C: two-layer FBE with an anti-corrosion coating and an anti-slip overcoat
6. and System 3: three-layer FBE with an anti-slip overcoat applied over an anti-corrosion coating and a protective overcoat

1.3

In this Standard, "shall" is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the Standard; "should" is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and "may" is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard. Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material. Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements. Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• CSA Z245.21:22
• Plant-applied external polyethylene coating for steel pipe Scope 1.1 This Standard covers the qualification, application, inspection, testing, handling, and storage of materials required for plant-applied polyethylene coating applied externally to steel pipe, whereby an adhesive is interposed between a bare or epoxy-primed pipe and the polyethylene.

The coated pipe is intended primarily for buried or submerged service for oil or gas pipeline systems

1.2

This Standard covers the following coating systems

1. System A: a coating that consists of an adhesive and a polyethylene outer sheath (see Table 1)
2. System B1: a coating that consists of a liquid or powdered epoxy primer, a polymeric adhesive, and a polyethylene outer sheath
3. and System B2: a coating that consists of a powdered epoxy primer, a powdered copolymer adhesive, and a powdered polyethylene outer layer

1.3

In this Standard, "shall" is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the Standard; "should" is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and "may" is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard.
