Pipelines that operate at high temperatures require new coating materials for protection. Development of those coating materials requires new chemistry. It also requires the development of new test methods. This paper reviews coating requirements and existing test procedures applicable to high temperature coatings. It proposes new test methods for better evaluation of the new coatings. It also provides test data and results from example candidate coatings for high operating temperature pipelines.
