Use of Pre-Construction Primers in Marine Construction

Product Number: 41215-876-SG

Author: J. Peter Ault

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Pre-construction primers (also known as shop primers or pre-fabrication primers) are very thin films applied to blast cleaned steel plates and shapes to provide preservation of the blasted steel during the shipbuilding or construction process. SSPC is developing an industry guide document containing information regarding the use of pre-construction primers (PCP) on structural steel in shipbuilding.

Using Forensic Science to Determine Causes of Failures of Polymeric Coatings

Product Number: 41215-875-SG

Author: Jon Asselanis

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Often when a polymeric flooring system fails, the cause of the problem is unknown. Forensic testing is used to determine the cause of failure while eliminating other potential causes. A basic understanding of the approach to a forensic investigation and the types of testing used will help aid in correcting the problem so future failures and project costs are reduced.

Using Lead Abatement Contractors for Surface Preparation on Commercial Properties - The Consequences of Sacrificing Quality for Safety

Product Number: 51216-012-SG

Author: Raymond S. Tombaugh

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

The Federal EPA requires that commercial/residential painting contractors be certified to prepare surfaces containing lead based paint on residential and public structures. As a result, when respirators equipped with HEPA filtration are required to be worn to reduce worker exposure levels to below the permissible exposure limit for lead, the surface preparation work is often subcontracted to a licensed lead abate contractor who holds these types of certifications.

Using Virtual Reality to Help Teach Application Technique

Product Number: 41213-798-SG

Author: Matthew Wallace

Publication Date: 2013

$20.00

Virtual paint training systems are a needed and valuable addition to teaching methods. As the accuracy and complexity of simulations improve, the industry has begun to exploit this fusion of simulation and education. This presentation explores the next step - how to use the simulation to increase student engagement, enrich their skills development, and improve the trainees’ knowledge base.

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.
