Abstract

Metal pipes are protected from corrosion by externally coating the pipe with a layer of coal tar and wrapping the pipe with at least one extensible material which is porous to allow the coal tar to pass through to form a layer on the outside. This type of wrap avoids any cracking of the protective materials during the commissioning and operation of the pipe.
