ABSTRACT:

TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates generally to pipe coating. More specifically, embodiments of this invention relate to insulation layer or layers on a pipe's circumference, where such layers may be abrasion resistant, corrosion resistant and provide thermal insulation to the pipe's contents. The insulation may be placed on a pipe's exterior circumference or surface, interior circumference or surface, or both. The pipe or a pipeline including the pipe, is intended for use in fluid transport, generally submerged.
