The use of PEKK for lowering the CO.sub.2 and H.sub.2S permeability of a part intended to enter into contact with a petroleum effluent. Also, a pipe for transporting a petroleum effluent, including a layer intended to be in contact with the petroleum effluent, wherein the layer intended to be in contact with the petroleum effluent comprises PEKK and has a CO.sub.2 permeability at 130° C. of less than 10.sup.−8 cm.sup.3, for a thickness of 1 cm and a surface area of 1 cm.sup.2 and per second and bar of CO.sub.2 pressure and/or an H.sub.2S permeability at 130° C. of less than 10.sup.−8 cm.sup.3 for a thickness of 1 cm and a surface area of 1 cm.sup.2 and per second and bar of H.sub.2S pressure, the amount of CO.sub.2 and H.sub.2S being measured by GC, respectively. Lastly, a number of methods for manufacturing such a pipe.

A pipe-support device is used to retain a pipe in a desired position and orientation. The pipe-support device has a baseplate, a support platform, a set of channels, and a weatherproof coating. The support platform is attached to the baseplate and function as a force distribution system that transfers the weight of the pipe into the baseplate. The channels traverse into a support surface of the support platform. Thus, creating trenches within which the pipe rests. The support platform is constructed from a semirigid material that facilitates retaining the pipe in a desired position. The weatherproof coating is an impermeable liner that isolates the support platform and the baseplate from hazards in the external environment. Thereby, providing a robust device designed to resist damage due to external environmental factors.

A volatile corrosion inhibitor detection device includes a coupling configured to couple to a system configured to be closed, and a housing in fluid communication with the coupling and containing an indicator element configured to visually change upon contact with volatile corrosion inhibitor. A bendable and crushable portion of the housing contains the indicator element and further contains an indicator capillary, the indicator capillary contains indicator fluid, and the indicator element and the indicator capillary are arranged such that, upon breaking of the indicator capillary by bending or crushing a portion of the housing, the indicator fluid is released from the indicator capillary and reaches the indicator element to render the indicator element sensitive to volatile corrosion inhibitor, thereby providing an indication upon contact with the volatile corrosion Inhibitor.
