Sometimes fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) alone is used as the factory coating, although these tend to be larger diameter pipelines which require a concrete weight coating (CWC), that provides both mechanical protection to the fragile FBE anti-corrosion layer as well as on-bottom stability to the overall pipeline. 5, record 1, English, - concrete%20weight%20coating

Coating weights: Terne coating is applied by hot-dip method, where sheets are passed through a bath and rollers remove excess coating by a squeezing action. Coating thickness on "short terne" plate is expressed in pounds per double base box. (A surface area of 871.12 square feet.) Generally 3 coating weights are available. Coating thickness on "long terne" is generally expressed in grams per square metres. 1, record 3, English, - coating%20weight

L'appréciation d'un fer blanc est caractérisée d'une part par l'épaisseur et la composition de l'acier de base et, d'autre part, par le taux d'étamage. En France, celui-ci représente la quantité d'étain déposée par unité de surface de feuille sur les deux faces, exprimée en grammes par mètre carré (taux courants : 27 g, 33 g, 40 g, 49 g). En Angleterre, le poids [sic : masse] du revêtement d'étain est exprimé en onces par basis box et aux États-Unis en livres par base box (le «basis box» ou «base box» étant une unité de surface, utilisée dans l'industrie du fer blanc, et qui équivaut à 40.465 m² de surface étamée). 2, record 3, French, - masse%20de%20rev%C3%AAtement
