Utilizing Corrosion Damage Morphology As An Indicator Of Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) In Oilfield Waters

Product Number: 51322-17687-SG

Author: Moavin Islam

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) is a major concern in process industries, particularly in the Oil and Gas sector. It is estimated that 25-30% of corrosion related failures in pipelines and industrial equipment can be attributed to MIC. The cost of metallic corrosion has been estimated to range between 2-3% of the gross domestic product (GDP) in developed countries and MIC certainly accounts for a significant fraction of the total cost of corrosion amounting to billions of dollars due to unexpected shutdowns, equipment replacement, mitigation strategies, etc.

Very High Strength Low Alloy Steels For HPHT Applications

Product Number: 51322-17721-SG

Author: Florian Thebault, Julien Pennequin, John Fortaillier, Carine Landier

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

More and more High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) sour wells are operated worldwide. Challenging material selection is required for such severe operating conditions.^1,2 Very high strength materials, presenting yield strength above 896 MPa (130 ksi), are required for sustaining the pressure. Consequently, even a low amount of H₂S in the gas phase may lead to a H₂S partial pressure beyond the limit of 3.5 mbar (0.05 psi) established in NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 standard.³ Indeed, both high yield strengths and partial pressures of H₂S contribute to a situation where the risk of Sulfide Stress Cracking (SSC) is high. The present paper is focusing on the SSC resistance of 130 ksi minimum yield strength material developed for covering such HPHT applications.

Waiting for the Concrete to Dry: Waiting for the concrete to dry at Johnston Memorial medial building in Arlington, VA.

Product Number: 41212-708-SG

Author: David Simkins

Publication Date: 2012

$20.00

Most flooring materials require a dry sub-straight before they can be applied and many of the flooring manufacturers have added maximum floor moisture content for their warranties to maintained. Contractors responsible for getting a building turned over to the owner are often finding themselves making a choice between shot basting and sealing the floors or setting up a temporary climate control system.

Waterborne Alkyds - Combining Oil and Water to Reduce VOC and Solve Coating Performance Challenges

Product Number: 51217-023-SG

Author: Jeffrey Arendt

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

With a history of proven performance in architectural and industrial coatings and the ability to adhere to less-than-ideally prepared substrates, alkyd resins have remained at the forefront of coating technology for well over 50 years. With such an established history, alkyds are often thought of as old technology and synonymously associated with flammable solvents and high levels of volatile organic compounds (VOC). These historical associations are not the contemporary story.

Waterborne Coatings with Increased Cross Link Performance

Product Number: 41214-845-SG

Author: Marc Herold, Steffen Pilotek

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

A formulated nanoparticle dispersion increases the cross linking of waterborne protective coatings without reducing the formula shelf life. Among the cross linking-related improvements are MEK rub resistance, humidity and immersion resistance, tensile strength and blocking resistance. The findings are in accord with a non-covalent mechanism of cross linking.

Waterproofing Concrete; A Guide to Using Water Repellent Sealers and Thick Film Barrier Coatings

Product Number: 41206-248-SG

Author: Jayson L. Helsel

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

Concrete and other cementitious surfaces are porous materials that will allow water and soluble contaminants to penetrate the structure leading to degradation. The effects of degradation can include efflorescence, laitance and physical defects such as cracking and spalling. Waterproofing concrete can protect it from freeze/thaw cycles, increase chemical resistance, and provide protection to imbedded reinforcing steel.

Well Casing Cathodic Performance Review - Case Studies

Product Number: 51322-17688-SG

Author: Maryam Al Hashmi, Monica Fernandez, Hamed Al Habsi, Naveed Munir, Fatih Boluk

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Oil and gas wells represent a large capital investment. It is imperative that corrosion of well casings be controlled to prevent loss of oil and gas, environmental damage, and personnel hazards, and in order to ensure economical depletion of oil and gas reserve. Wells placed in external corrosive environment shall be protected by appropriate barriers such as additional cemented casing, cathodic protection and coating to assure well casing integrity.

What Happens to Zinc Under Hot Insulation?

Product Number: 41215-883-SG

Author: Bangyih Chen

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

The polarity of the zinc-steel galvanic couple in hot aqueous solutions was published more than 20 years ago. It used an inorganic zinc primer coating that was applied under thermal insulation at elevated temperatures [30C-60C (86F-140F)]. Since the year 2000, industrial practices or standards do not recommend using inorganic zinc rich coatings under thermal insulation. Research has showed over the years that good practice of corrosion prevention under insulation is to apply an additional layer of a heat resistant modified epoxy or inorganic polymer coating as an additional barrier.
