GPT Preventing Electrical Bridging in Pipeline Isolation Joints
These resources help Oil and Gas operators meet the increasing demands and conditions such as sour gas.
In today’s Oil and Gas industry, increasing demands and conditions have become commonplace and are only set to continue as operators maximize and improve efficiencies in their processes. The increase in sour gas is one such example. Increased sour gas percentages are being experienced across the globe, presenting unique challengers to pipeline operators.
Sour gas can interact with moisture in pipelines and the metallurgy in the pipe to create Iron Sulfide known as “black powder”, a conductive material that can bridge isolation joints.
CASE STUDY: Overcoming Electrical Bridging with EVOLUTION®
For years, this customer has battled losing isolation across the flange isolation kit, not because of a gasket failure or mis-installation, but instead because of the media going through the line. In these lines, solid conductive deposits build up at the flange intersection, allowing CP current to take this path, jumping the isolation kit, and continuing to the next flange.

1952-2022: KERR Celebrates 70 YEARS
Kerr Engineered Sales Company employees and family members gathered in West Virginia for a weekend of adventure and remembrance to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the company.
July 14 - 17, 2022: Kerr Engineered Sales Company employees and their family members gathered in West Virginia for a weekend of adventure and remembrance to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the company.
The twenty nine employees and family members enjoyed activities that included hiking, biking, rock climbing, white water rafting, golf, shopping, steam train riding, zip lining, fly fishing and visiting the wild, wonderful sights of West Virginia. In between the adventures, BBQ and beverages, an overarching theme of the weekend was the significance of relationships.
In 1952, Art Kerr, Sr. was fifty six when he resigned from Rockwell Manufacturing, as Vice President of Sales. Instead of retiring on the laurels of a successful career, he founded Kerr Engineered Sales Company. Art’s relationships with T. D. Williamson, Sr. and Don Sillers of Peerless, were significant to the founding of the company to bring key products and services to the oil and gas customers in the region.
Seventy years later, while the names have changed, the strength and significance of relationships remain. In 2022, Kerr’s Principals and distribution partners include T.D. Williamson, Peerless, Bruest, Burgess, Ecotec, ZEVAC, GPT and Blackline Safety.

Highlights of the weekend included honoring the many valued employees, family members and partners who built the company then and who are keeping it strong today. Art’s son Jack joined KERR in 1955. Today, at 91, Jack is Chairman of the Board. His sons David, CEO and Thomas, Vice President, joined in 1987 and 1994. A newspaper, “Through the Years,” with highlights of the history and timeline was shared. It is available to download by clicking on the image.
The weekend was jam packed with adventures and story making. At the evening gatherings, the team recounted the details of flying through the trees on a zip line, gripping granite cliffs with fingers and toes, and being propelled from a raft into turbulent white water rapids.
“The relationships and trust that we hold with our team, our customers and the leadership at our principals remains the foundation of the business through seven decades. We look forward to strengthening the relationships way into the future.”
