The oil and gas industry is strictly regulated, especially given the safety, environmental and economic impact of a pipeline leak. Pipeline corrosion prevention is critical, with proper exterior surface coating serving as a first line of defense in preventing corrosion-related failures in new installations. In the demanding coating process, each tool plays a vital role in creating the protective barrier that will reduce the rate of corrosion. Even those tools that play a seemingly small role are essential to the end result. Tape, for example, serves as an "unsung hero" that helps make field joint welding of the pipe sections possible.
