Abstract
The industrialized sectors of northeast Spain are now or will soon be receiving natural gas via Spain's new gas-transmission pipeline. The first part of a 633-mile transmission network, this 450-mile pipeline runs from the LNG terminal in Barcelona south to Valencia and northwest to the Basque country. Pipe of 20, 24, 26, and 30-in. diameters installed in various sections of the line will accommodate the potential growth of the gas market in each specific region as well as the coming on-stream of other supply sources. Produced in 40-ft lengths, the pipe was coated externally with either a coal-tar enamel and fiberglass or, more recently, a polyethylene coating.
