Why Voltage Matters For High Voltage Holiday Testing On Steel

Product Number: 51322-17662-SG

Author: Cameron Walker, Vaughn O’Dea, Joshua Bell, Javier Tormes

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

A holiday is defined as a pinhole or discontinuity in a coating lining. These discontinuities are frequently very small and not readily visible and create a pathway for oxygen and an electrolyte to cause deterioration of the underlying substrate. These defects will tend to reduce the life expectancy of a coating in service, particularly if the service is to include immersion, such as the lining of a tank or a pipe.

Why Would Anyone Not Galvanize Steel if They Can?

Product Number: 41211-608-SG

Author: Francis Gerace

Publication Date: 2011

$20.00

There are many products which protect structural steel from corrosion. There is also an intense focus on sustainability. Hot-dip galvanizing is one product that provides economical, long-lived, and sustainable corrosion protection. It is also more durable than most other barrier systems. Not all steel can be galvanized because sometimes the elements are too long and/or too heavy to be placed in the baths.

In linepipes for transportation of natural gas, suppression of hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) caused by H₂S contained in the transportation medium is an important issue. HIC is a phenomenon in which hydrogen atoms generated by a corrosion reaction penetrate steel and are accumulated in the central segregation part and inclusions in the steel, internal pressure is increased by gasification, and finally cracks occur.

Wireless UT Sensors For Structural Health Monitoring & Remote Operations In A Post COVID19 World

Product Number: 51322-17523-SG

Author: Steve Strachan

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

For decades, many asset owner/operators across the O&G value chain (and other critical industry segments) of upstream, midstream, & downstream have struggled to identify the root cause of fluctuating corrosion/erosion rates due to unreliable or infrequent data during various operating intervals on their most valuable of assets. This key missing data point has forced mechanical integrity teams, corrosion engineers, inspectors, and operations to, in many cases, make the best guess or hypothesize how to operate with a limited data set of information. In almost all cases, a time-based inspection or maintenance interval is used to gauge the useful lifetime of assets based on this limited data simply because these assets couldn’t give their owners a real-time health diagnostic of how they were doing … until now.

Writing Effective Corrective Actions Workshop

Product Number: 51219-170-SG

Author: Cory Allen

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

This paper will discuss a hands-on workshop, interactive session to train participants to write effective corrective actions as they relate to typical problems for an industrial coating contractor. This workshop should be particularly helpful to coating contractors who are QP certified by SSPC. QP1, QP3, and QS1 certified contractors are required to document corrective actions.
