EWPD of Saudi Aramco is the custodian of five large volume crude oil storage tanks with diameter of 106 m (348’) and 110 m (360’), where the crude oil is stored and transported from eastern region to western region. The tank which is being addressed in this paper is an API¹ 650 with floating roof. Its capacity is 1,013,000 barrels and its diameter is 110 m. This tank was built in 1978 on an oily sand pad and reinforced concrete ring wall. The inboard and sketch plates are 6.35 mm thick, and annular plates are 16 mm thick

Use of Waterjetting in Conservation of Historic Structures

Product Number: 41205-205-SG

Author: Joseph Sembrat, Lydia Frenzel

Publication Date: 2005

Water, steam, and waterjetting have long been used in the conservation of historic artifacts and structures such as the R.M.S. Titanic and the Saturn V Rocket at Johnson Space Center. Integral to the conservation is the removal of loose material, reduction in salts and corrosion, retention of coatings and desirable patina, and repair of damaged areas.

Use of Zinc Thermically Sprayed As Sacrificial Anode for Protecting the Inner Surface of Pipeline Welded Joints

Product Number: 51319-12996-SG

Author: Joao Paulo Gervasio

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

The corrosive fluids transportation inside carbon steel pipelines is critical due to internal corrosion. To avoid failures barrier corrosion protection techniques are applied by insulating the inner metal wall of the pipe. However when the tubes are welded together the inner coating is damaged by the heat generated during the welding process. As a result the ends of the tubes are uncoated and consequently subjected to corrosion. There are solutions to this problem but all have some kind of inconvenience either by the cost of implementation or the difficulty of application. This work aims to present the results of the tests of the application of an alternative technique: zinc thermally sprayed as sacrificial anode for internal protection of welded joints.

USING A CLIMATE CONTROLLED APPLICATION CHAMBER TO UNDERSTAND COATING DYNAMICS

Product Number: 51218-101-SG

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

Application and curing dynamics of paints are rarely quantified over a wide range of varying climactic conditions; yet this information is critical to the final performance of the coating. There is a growing need among raw material suppliers, formulators, and applicators to better understand the performance of products under the extreme humidity and temperature conditions experienced during application.

Using a Computational Galvanic Model in a Fracture Mechanics Framework to Improve Material Degradation Prediction

Although computational methods have been separately developed to predict corrosion and fatigue crack growth rates for metallic structures, challenges remain in implementing a methodology that considers the combined effects. In this work the output from a galvanic model is used to determine the spatial distribution of corrosion damage; providing a guide for the location of discrete corrosion damage features that can be analyzed using stress fields from structural models. In order to build confidence in this approach the galvanic models are validated by comparing predicted results to surface damage measurements from test specimens subject to ambient atmospheric exposure. There was good comparison between the predicted spatial distribution of corrosion damage and the measured surface damage profiles obtained from the galvanic test specimens. Following this exercise novel computational corrosion damage features were developed to represent simplified cracks shapes emanating from corrosion pits. Stress intensity factors (SIF) for these newly developed hybrid pit-crack features were determined and these solutions compared to cases where the pit is assumed to be an equivalent crack. The impact of the local, cavity induced stress field, on the SIF solutions is discussed. Building on these findings a fatigue crack growth simulation was performed using an initial flaw emanating from a hemispherical cavity (corrosion pit) located at the edge of hole in a plate. A reasonable comparison, of the predicted number of crack growth cycles, to available experimental test results was achieved.

Using Atmospheric Plasma for Enhance Coating Adhesion to Limit the Onset of Corrosion

Product Number: 51323-19191-SG

Author: Jeffrey Piascik, Peter Yancey, Glenn Astolfi, Levi Snowden, Jason Stimson

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Protecting and maintaining assets in highly corrosive environments has been a challenge for centuries. Assets that require precision coating removal around compromised structures require a precision tool that does not impact the structure leading to failure. Removal of any metal or damage to surfaces must be avoided in these scenarios, which disqualifies highly abrasive removal methods such as blast cleaning, needle-gunning, and water-jetting.

Using Climate Control at the Job Site; It’s Just Good Business

Product Number: 41207-311-SG

Author: Russ Brown

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

The use of temporary climate control on a steel tank re-line has now become a regular practice within the coatings industry to help one avoid unplanned delays or issues on a project. This paper will discuss the issue from three perspectives: the coatings contractor, the tank owner and the inspector. It will explore the concept of using a temporary climate control systems on a tank re-line project in general, review how each segment would benefit from utilizing such a system and finally discuss the overall impact that a temporary climate control system will have on their projects.

Using DC Decouplers to Maximize Isolation of Cathodically Protected Structures

Product Number: MECC23-19878-SG

Author: Jay Warner

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Cathodic Protection (CP), when properly applied, is an effective technique to minimize the natural corrosion process that occurs on pipelines, tanks, and other buried steel structures. To maintain effective CP coverage with minimal current demand, the structure must be well-isolated from earth for DC current flow. This is commonly accomplished using high resistance coatings, isolation joints, dielectric fittings and isolation pads.
