Year Published: 1979
Abstract: In 1971, the Office of Pipeline Safety published Subpart 1 of the Minimum Federal Safely Standards for the Transportation of Natural and Other Gas by Pipeline. Subpart I established the Federal regulations dealing with Corrosion Control of gas pipelines. The regulations covered all aspects of corrosion control including the cathodic protection of pipelines installed prior to August 1, 1971, determination of areas of active corrosion, maintenance procedure when corrosion is found, etc. When the regulations were first published, the gas industry immediately assumed the role of trying to understand and interpret the regulations. Once the interpretations were made, decisions were required by each individual company on how lo implement the regulations and how to measure the results of the corrosion control programs. Within this paper, a review will be made of some of the original intentions of the regulations, some of the decisions made by the industry and some of the ways to measure whether the decisions made have produced corrosion control programs which are successful.
