Heavy Duty Coating

For hard wearing and environmentally harsh areas a NORSOK specification has been drawn up for heavy duty pipeline coating testing. NORSOK is the industry standard for the onshore and offshore oil and gas industry. This specification calls for the long term testing of multi-coat systems which includes cyclic testing, salt spray, UV resistance and freezing. Exova has advanced equipment and professional engineers on staff to carry out this testing.
