Abstract

Pipe coating having a thermal insulating layer of polymeric material and an outer barrier layer is provided with an additional electro-conductive layer intermediate between the two layers to facilitate testing of the latter for discontinuities by conventional electric testing equipment for detecting discontinuities in the outer barrier layer, e.g. by measuring electrical conductivity or resistivity along the face of the barrier layer.
