Product Number: 41212-685-SG

Author: Nicholas Lang, Jason Thompson

Publication Date: 2012

$20.00

Model building codes and standards have begun adopting new energy efficiency requirements for building envelopes, including more quantifiable assessment of the air permeance characteristics of the materials and assemblies used in the building envelope. This research effort was initiated to understand and quantify the air leakage mechanisms of single wythe concrete masonry construction, which is commonly used in exterior building envelopes.

AMPP Guide 21611-2024, Pulsed Laser Ablation Technical Guide for Ferrous Metal Substrates

Product Number: AMPP Guide 21611-2024

Publication Date: 2024

$109.00

This guide describes the use of portable or stationary Q-switched pulsed laser ablation (PLA) systems, consisting of directed energy technology for the surface preparation of ferrous substrates as required for applying coatings or linings, welding, adhesive bonding, decontamination, and other applications. It will discuss the feasibility and benefits of PLA when compared to other laser technologies as well as traditional surface preparation methods. Detailed information is provided on the equipment, including a generic description, suitable applications and locations for use, types of coat- ings or contaminants suitable for removal, advantages, and limitations. This guide includes requirements for operating conditions, and environmental, health, and safety compliance. Appendix A provides explanatory information, some of which uses terms specific to AMPP SP21511-1, “Laser Ablation for Metallic Surface Preparation of Ferrous Metals, Pulsed Laser.” Appendix B provides an amplification of considerations for use including technical information regarding the interaction of the laser with coatings and substrate. Appendix C addresses additional considerations for environ- mental approvals. Appendix D lists equipment and operating parameters.

AMPP QP21536-2023, QP BASE: Evaluating General Qualifications of Contractors Seeking QP Accreditation

Product Number: AMPP QP21536-2023

Publication Date: 2023

$109.00

This standard describes a method for evaluating the general qualifications of firms seeking accreditation under standards for contractor accreditation (hereafter “Qualification Program [QP] standards”).

This is not a standalone standard, as it is intended to be used in conjunction with other standards that incorporate it by reference. The purpose of this standard is to determine whether a contractor:

Has a corporate organization that clearly defines the authority and responsibilities of positions typically required for operation of a contracting firm;
Employs qualified management and utilizes qualified craft personnel and other workers;
Has established and implemented a quality management system meeting the requirements of the referencing QP standard;
Has established and implemented a written worker safety and health program meeting requirements of the referencing QP standard;
Has established and implemented environmental protection procedures meeting requirements of the referencing QP standard;
Demonstrates knowledge of industry technical standards and good practice.

Keywords: coating contractor qualification procedure, accreditation of coating contractors, QP, field coating work, qualification procedure base, QP Base.

AMPP SP21466-2024, Materials Sustainability Framework Based on Corrosion Management System

Product Number: AMPP SP21466-2024

Publication Date: 2024

$109.00

This standard aims to provide a framework for users and their respective organizations in assessing both the material sustainability and material stewardship of their operations using recognized industrial methods, resources, and practices built on the corrosion management framework. Some of these methods, resources, and practices are already covered in the corrosion management system framework; however, some are expanded upon within this standard using a material sustainability maturity model beyond the corrosion management framework. Therefore, this standard aims to empower material and corrosion professionals to better deliver value from a life cycle and circular economy standpoint while leveraging existing and emerging tools to support assets, operations, enterprises, stakeholders, and communities through the value chain.

AMPP SP21511-1-2024, Laser Ablation for Surface Preparation of Ferrous Metals, Pulsed Laser

Product Number: AMPP SP21511-1-2024

Publication Date: 2024

$109.00

This AMPP standard, designated AMPP SP21511-1, is intended to enable specifiers to develop project specification re- quirements and end users to achieve the required level of surface preparation or cleanliness using pulsed laser ablation (PLA). For the purpose of this standard, PLA employs pulsed, Q-switched laser technology.

PLA is a media-free, commercially available process that uses high-intensity directed energy in the form of a collimated, monochromatic, pulsed, focused, and scanned laser beam to remove coatings, oxides, contaminants, and hazardous materials (HAZMATs). This process is also referred to as laser ablation coating removal (LACR). PLA may be used to prepare coated or uncoated ferrous metal substrates before the application of a protective coating or lining, or it may be used in conjunction with other surface preparation methods. PLA offers environmental, health, and safety (EH&S) ben- efits as well as a level of precision that cannot be achieved with other surface preparation technologies. This standard is intended to be used by corrosion control professionals in civil infrastructure, defense, nuclear, petrochemical, auto- motive, aerospace, and other related industries. It is for use by coating specifiers, engineers, contractors, inspectors, and others who are responsible for defining a specific level of surface cleanliness or producing a post-laser treatment surface condition specified, using PLA technology.

PLA can remove 100% of existing coatings. However, it is most effective for applications requiring less than 95% of coating removal (by surface area of exposed substrate) when prescribed by appropriate Technical Authority guidance.

The primary functions of PLA cleaning applications are:

a) To remove material from the surface that can cause premature failure of the new coating system. Paragraph A1 of Appendix A (nonmandatory) provides additional information.

b) To enhance the adhesion of a new coating system.

c) To expose the surface profile of the substrate that is underneath the existing coating, rust, other corrosion products, or other contaminants and,

d) To reduce or remove nonvisible contamination that may be present on the substrate. Examples include thin films of oil and grease, and soluble ionic materials such as chlorides, ferrous salts, nitrates, and sulfates. PLA can reduce or completely remove water-soluble contaminants as well as fixed, non-smear- able low-level radiological contamination.

AMPP SP21520-2023, Acceptance Criteria for Cathodic Protection of Steel in Concrete Structures

Product Number: AMPP SP21520-2023

Publication Date: 2023

$109.00

Historically, NACE SP0290, NACE SP0216, and NACE SP0408 included sets of criteria that needed to be satisfied to indicate that a cathodic protection (CP) system is delivering adequate current to passivate the reinforcing steel or reduce its corrosion current to low and non-destructive levels. These criteria were mostly the same, so the aim of this standard is to set out the essential criteria that each one of the above standards must satisfy in a single document. This allows each of the above standards, which deal with different applications of cathodic protection, to concentrate and expand on aspects that are specific for each application. This standard further suggests techniques that can be employed to estimate the level of protection achieved by a non-compliant cathodic protection method.
