Understanding NACE SP0394 FBE Pipeline Coatings

NACE SP0394 is the cornerstone specification for plant-applied Fusion-Bonded Epoxy (FBE) coatings on pipelines. In this video, we break down the essentials — from surface preparation and preheat requirements to DFT, cure windows, and quality-control testing — so you can recognize what compliance really looks like in the field. Whether you’re a coating inspector, engineer, or contractor, this session helps you connect the dots between proper application, performance, and inspection as defined by NACE. You’ll learn: What NACE SP0394 actually covers (and what it doesn’t) Required surface cleanliness and anchor profile (SSPC-SP10 / NACE No. 2) FBE preheat & cure temperature range (≈ 400–450 °F) Typical film thickness (12–16 mil) and cure verification methods Holiday testing per NACE SP0188 Key QC checkpoints for documentation and acceptance 📘 Reference: NACE SP0394 – Application, Performance, and Quality Control of Plant-Applied FBE Pipeline Coatings 🎯 Tags / SEO keywords: NACE SP0394, FBE coating, pipeline coating, coating inspection, fusion bonded epoxy, pipeline corrosion protection, NACE standards, coating QC, AMPP coating training, Raphoon LLC 📍 Learn more: Visit www.Raphoon.com for consulting, training, and inspection resources.
