Abstract

A convenient method for the study of underground crude oil pipeline coating of coal tar enamel (CTE) has been studied in the present paper. The method includes the use of Radiodetection® Pipeline Current Mapper (PCM). The analyses of the findings of Current Attenuation Test (CAT) have been discussed here.
