Somastic Pipe Coating has now been applied on 30- inch pipe by the Somastic Division. Since its commercial introduction in 1936, SOMASTIC has been widely used on pipe up to 24" O.D. as pro tection against corrosion damage. Shell Chemical Corporation, at its new Ammonia Plant at Ventura, California, is installing steel water cool ing conduit 30" in diameter. This highly successful effort is Bechtel's first 30-inch SOMASTIC Coating job and The coating is applied in a continuous operation which as sures uniform thickness and seamless application. The im permeable,characteristic oTSOMASTIC seals out all moisture. Its rigidity withstands pos Robert R. Davidton Job Engineer sible damage from stockpiling and field "hauling and handling. Overlap ping field joints are made under pressure with special equipment, assuring a continu ous protective shield along the entire length of coated pipeline.

It has become standard practice to specify SOMASTIC Pipe Coating for use in marshy sectors, areas of high water table, on subma rine loading lines, and crossing under rivers, channels and bays. Nor is its use confined to saturated areas alone. SOMASTIC-treated lines traverse the Rocky Mountains and mid-western plains,-California's valleys and the deserts of Saudi Arabia. Performance makes SOMASTIC protection a paying in vestment under a wide range of pipe line conditions. ^ Watson Yard's Supervisory Forces--L. to R.t IF. E.
