Such procedures shall include proper surface preparation, adequate number of coats and cure times between coatings, thickness measurement of coatings and necessary verification/documentation. On 04/09/08 approximately 2500 lbs. of butane was released from a hole in the E- 17C exchanger outlet piping. The epoxy lining on the interior of the pipe spool had failed allowing corrosion of the carbon steel pipe.
