AC Corrosion of Pipelines--POD

Product Number: 37656-POD

ISBN: 978-1-57590-400-9

Author: Y. Frank Cheng

Publication Date: 2021

$170.00

This is a print-on-demand (POD) book that will be produced just for you in 2-5 days after your order. It should arrive at your door in about one to two weeks. However, due to supply chain and logistic challenges currently affecting the industry, it may take longer. Allow three weeks for international orders.

AC Corrosion of Pipelines covers the essential topics related to AC corrosion of pipelines, a problem affecting the safety and reliability of underground pipelines.

In addition to the basic principles of AC interference induced by adjacent AC power lines and other sources, the book details the adverse effects of the interference on collocated pipelines, including corrosion and pitting corrosion, coating degradation, deviating of cathodic protection potentials, and the ineffectiveness of cathodic protection systems.

Moreover, effective management measures to this problem are discussed. It also covers the DC interference and DC corrosion of the pipelines, as compared to the AC corrosion phenomenon. The book, the first of its kind, provides a complete and comprehensive understanding to the phenomenon from both the fundamentals and the author's research experiences.

AMPP SP21487-2021, Inspecting and Reporting Biofouling and Antifouling Systems’ Condition during Underwater Inspections on Ships

Product Number: AMPP SP21487-2021

Publication Date: 2021

$109.00

Biofouling accumulation on a ship’s hull has a direct impact on fuel consumption and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and may pose a biosecurity risk due to the presence of non-indigenous, potentially invasive aquatic species.

The antifouling system (AFS) is designed to protect the underwater surfaces from biofouling accumulation. Underwater inspections (UWI) of ships are typically carried out to monitor and verify the condition of the underwater hull and the AFS.

Recipients of UWI reports are reliant on the quality of information provided to make adequate decisions relating to hull performance, AFS condition and performance, biofouling management and associated risk assessments. Consistent and good quality reporting is key to effective underwater hull condition record-keeping and management.

AMPP SP21507-2022, Standard Practice for Sandwich Plate Repair of Steel Structures

Product Number: AMPP SP21507-2022

Publication Date: 2022

$109.00

Oil and gas industry onshore and offshore drilling, production, storage, and transportation generally experience very corrosive environments. Even though corrosion prevention systems, such as cathodic protection, protective coatings, and liquid/vapor phase inhibitors are usually used for corrosion protection, severe corrosion of the structures is still unavoidable without effective corrosion protection and appropriate corrosion management. The repair of degraded structural members having substantial corrosion damage is critical for maintaining structural integrity for safe and continuous operations.

This standard practice formalizes a methodology of steel sandwich plate repair technology. This methodology uses a new steel plate or prefabricated structural component laid on top of the existing steel plate to be repaired. An elastomer core is used to bond the new plate/component and the existing steel plate to form a steel sandwich plate structure, thereby repairing the existing steel substrate without it being cut and replaced. This method is intended to restore the strength of the damaged structural members, or to reinforce existing structures.

AMPP TM21451-2023, Evaluation of Carbon and Low-Alloy Steels for Resistance to Stress-Oriented Hydrogen-Induced Cracking (SOHIC)

Product Number: AMPP TM21451-2023

Publication Date: 2023

$109.00

Carbon and low-alloy steels in plate form and their welded products may be susceptible to one or more forms of environmental cracking when exposed to wet H₂S service conditions. These include, for example, (1) sulfide stress cracking (SSC) of hard zones and welds; (2) hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC) in the parent metal; and (3) stress-oriented hydrogen-induced cracking (SOHIC) in the region adjacent to welds of nominally acceptable hardness. Extensive work has been conducted over many years to understand various fundamental and applied aspects of these phenomena. Experiences in refinery wet H₂S operations have directed particular attention to understanding SOHIC and the various metallurgical and environmental parameters that govern its occurrence.

Scope

This standard was prepared to provide a test method for consistent evaluation of pipeline and pressure vessel steels to SOHIC caused by hydrogen absorption from aqueous sulfide corrosion. The test conditions are not designed to simulate any specific service environment. The test is intended to evaluate resistance to SOHIC only, and not to other adverse effects of sour environments such as sulfide stress cracking (SSC), pitting, or mass loss from corrosion.

AMPP TR21540-2022, Correlating Qualitative Surface Profile Assessment Methods to Quantitative Methodology on Prepared Concrete Substrates

Product Number: AMPP TR21540-2022

Publication Date: 2022

$109.00

Coating/lining manufacturers and/or facility owners frequently specify cleaning and roughening of the concrete surface prior to product installation. The specifications may reference qualitative methods including visual assessments using comparison coupons or quantitative methods including surface profile depth measurements. However, prior to this Technical Report, there was no known data to inform a conversion between qualitative and quantitative methods. The outcomes of this Technical Report enable coating manufacturers, engineers, specifiers, and contractors to convert well-established qualitative methods to quantitative values based on an interlaboratory experiment. While current quantitative methods can measure up to 6 mm (250 mils), extremely rough concrete surfaces (exceeding ~1.5 mm, or ~50 mils) were not included in the experiment due to the inability to stabilize the instrument probe and obtain accurate data.

$190.00

The Field Guide for Managing Iron Sulfide (Black Powder) within Pipelines or Processing Equipment offers practical guidance for corrosion control and operations personnel in managing black powder within their pipeline systems or processing equipment.

This book was written for new corrosion control professionals and operations personnel, who are based at production facilities. It provides straightforward, practical guidance regarding what is “black powder,” and why it may be a concern, field tests to be conducted, follow-up laboratory test that could be ordered, and an approach for using maintenance pigging, coupled with chemical treatments, to remove accumulations of “black powder.”

It begins with a discussion of what is black powder and identifies health and safety considerations associated with H₂S and the presence of black powder, identifying why there may be a concern.

The Field Guide presents field and laboratory tests typically used to identify the presence of iron sulfide, and then discusses maintenance pigging and/or chemical treatments for removing such particulates. Several case studies are also presented.

Standards and Best Practice for Surface Preparation and Coating Application of Concrete

Product Number: PB-C0M01-pdf

ISBN: 978-1-57590-472-6

Author: Edited by Jean Broge

$190.00

Concrete surface preparation differs from surface preparation of steel, mostly due to the inherent properties of concrete.

Concrete is a non-uniform mixture of porous, permeable materials (cement, sand, stone, additives, water) with low tensile strength and often numerous cracks and defects. It will vary in properties, including moisture content, from site to site and within any site due to the batched nature of its production and installation.

Ranging from the basics of corrosion in reinforced concrete to using forensic science to determine concrete coatings failure, in this Standards and Best Practice for Surface Preparation and Coating Application of Concrete reference book, students and technicians learn problem solving via multiple case studies and technical artiles.

$150.00

Since the 1980s, a range of duplex stainless steels (DSSs) has been developed that have higher alloy content, and therefore greater corrosion resistance and strength. The commonly used DSSs have good corrosion resistance in a wide range of environments and excellent resistance to stress corrosion cracking (SCC). Their high strength and hardness also gives them excellent resistance to both erosion corrosion and cavitation. There are also cast versions of many of the duplex compositions and these have seen extensive use for pumps, valves, and other equipment.
