This AMPP standard provides a series of effective and economical test methods to evaluate the performance of candidate offshore platform new construction and maintenance coatings. The testing protocol is established to simulate the offshore environment and based on the major failure modes observed on offshore platforms. The test results will rank the candidate coating systems for end-users to select and coating manufacturers to develop reliable coating systems.
This Technical Report provides sound technical information on the corrosion risk of exhaust gas scrubbers to ship owners, shipyards, marine engineers, scrubber designers and suppliers. Marine scrubbers used on ships are mainly wet scrubbers, which are open-loop, closed-loop, or hybrid types. Each system is discussed with respect to a description of each type of scrubber, washwater environments, materials of construction (metals and non-metals), pitfalls of inspection, fabrication, and welding of metals, service performance and applications history including descriptions of corrosion failures and successes, and repair and maintenance guidance.
This report provides the most current technology and industry practices for the internal in-situ cleaning and coating application in an existing steel pipeline. This report presents general practices and preferences in regard to the cleaning, surface preparation, drying, and the application of a coating in a steel pipeline by the pig (scraper) batching method. It is applicable to onshore or offshore steel pipelines in all industries including the oil and gas gathering, distribution, and transmission industries. It is also applicable to welded steel water and brine handling pipelines.
3D corrosion measurement techniques described in this report can be performed in the field, laboratory, plant environment, or other related facilities. Corrosion measurements are obtained under widely varying field conditions and plant environments. This report provides the user with the background needed to make testing decisions in the field or laboratory based on the technical facts available at the time of publication.
This technical report provides descriptions of the corrosion pitting measurement techniques used on underground and aboveground piping, tanks, and vessels using 3D optical imaging tools. This report includes those corrosion measurement techniques that relate to the ASME B31.8, API 579, or special conditions in NACE SP0502
This technical report provides practical information on the use of encapsulated blast media for repairing existing interior and exterior coatings on railroad tank cars (hereafter referred to as tank cars). This report: 1) introduces the technology; 2) describes typical abrasives, equipment, and processes used; and 3) provides a comparison to some other coating repair surface preparation methods typically used in the rail industry.
The purpose of this report is to communicate the effects of wildfires heat and combustion products on corrosion resistance, material properties, and mechanical integrity of power transmission infrastructure and to identify next steps to research, develop, and implement future asset integrity management actions for the power industry. The report addresses the following general topics.
A wildfire, bushfire, wildland fire or field fire is an unplanned, unwanted, and usually uncontrolled event in an area of combustible vegetation. Due to climate change, many locations in the United States and worldwide, such as Australia and even India, are subject to wildfires due to dry conditions during parts of the year.
This AMPP technical report describes the current state of protecting the interiors of tank cars transporting crude oil. This report is intended for and will benefit all stakeholders involved in the protection of tank cars transporting crude oil, including large fleet tank car owners, crude oil coating suppliers, tank car coating applicators, and crude oil shippers. The current state of protecting the interiors of tank cars transporting crude oil was developed by conducting surveys of various stakeholders. This report summarizes the survey results.
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.
This report explains different types of corrosion phenomena and contributing factors of corrosion that can occur in fire protection systems (FPS), such as water corrosivity, MIC, trapped air (wet systems), residual water (dry systems), and pipe weld corrosion. The basis for selection of corrosion mitigation strategies for corrosion mitigation and management of FPS are also discussed.
Corrosion that results in pipe leakage or obstruction is the most significant issue for owners of water-based FPS or fire sprinkler systems, in terms of both cost and system reliability. Corrosion damage/products and mineral deposits can impair the effectiveness of sprinkler systems, leaving facilities vulnerable to uncontrolled fire loss even though they are equipped with fire protection systems. This report describes practices that have been successful in mitigating FPS corrosion.
