Steel pipe is an old product, but economics of manufacture, higher strength requirements, and competition have required continuous improvements in this product. One result was the introduction of plastic coated steel pipe in 1956. Since then new methods of steel pipe manufacture and other plastic coatings have been developed. Today we will review steel pipe production, some methods of coating steel pipe for protection from corrosion underground, and some standardized methods for evaluating steel pipe coatings. Since at least four processes are in general use to manufacture steel pipe1,2 only one of the most recent developments will be discussed here.
