Steel tubes and fittings for onshore and offshore pipelines - External three layer extruded polyethylene based coatings prEN 10285

Scope

This European Standard defines the application of factory applied external three layer extruded polyethylene based coatings for the corrosion protection of tubes and pipeline components. External extruded polyethylene coating can be used for the protection of buried or submerged tubes for service at temperatures up to +60°C. Higher temperature and/or higher mechanical requirements may demand special types of PE. The coatings in this standard can be applied to longitudinally or spirally welded and to seamless steel tubes and components used for the construction of pipelines for conveying liquids or gases.
