Using the German Test Method TL 8135-002 for Multi-Metal Application: Non-Ferrous Alloys

Product Number: 51324-20795-SG

Author: Jonathan Brekan; Kristi Lanzo

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) packaging has wide acceptance in the logistics world as an effective means for the protection of metal fabricated parts during shipping and storage. The utilization of VCI packaging for metals other than steel is still a challenge. Customers are reliant on packaging suppliers to provide them with a technical solution to their unique parts yet there are no standard test methods to prove that their offering is going to work for their alloy or part. This paper discusses the application of the well-understood, TL8135-002 Vapor Inhibiting Ability (VIA) test on a variety of non-steel specimens, including copper, brass, zinc, and aluminum.

Utilizing 3D Printing in Oil and Gas Applications

Product Number: MECC23-19931-SG

Author: Joao A. Tavares; Faisal M. Alshammari

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

3D Printing revolutionizes the production of engineered parts, enabling manufacturers and Oil & Gas plant owners to prototype or replace any part, regardless of geometrical complexity. The disruptive nature of this technology impacts most industries today, from medical equipment manufacturers to Oil & Gas companies, allowing for logistical flexibility and full independence in the manufacturing of components that will allow the repair of existing assets and re-commissioning of obsolete equipment.

For any company, becoming independent from a supply chain grants a unique strategic position that allows for better prediction and control of product output.

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.

Utilizing IR4.0 Solutions to Transform a Conventional GOSP to an Intelligent GOSP (iGOSP)

Product Number: MPWT19-15456

Author: Abdulaziz S. Alghamdi

Publication Date: 2019

$0.00

An iGOSP initiative ties multiple solutions together on a common wireless infrastructure, which allows systems to interact in such a way that they create new features, capabilities, automation and monitoring. The result is a facility that has unique efficiencies, maximum return on asset and delivers unparalleled value, visibility, predictability and adaptability.
NGPD selected Abqaiq GOSP-3 to pilot the concept of an intelligent GOSP (iGOSP). Abqaiq GOSP-3 is one of the oldest facilities in NGPD; which was commissioned in 1978. The plant’s rack room has gone through several upgrade projects in the past. This resulted in present challenges including:
 Limited space in the rack room for any wired new instrument loop. Hence, an upgrade of the rack room will be needed for any future project.
 Limited spare cables in field junction boxes.
 Presence of local/pneumatic controllers.
The ultimate goal is to sustain and expand Abqaiq GOSP 3 monitoring capabilities towards achieving operational excellence through the use of 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR) technologies. This plant is the first step in building a roadmap for other facilities to transform into the digital era through the use of state-of-the-art indus

Utilizing Sustainability ScoreCards to Quantitatively Analyze the Sustainability Impact of Applied Linings Systems

Product Number: 51324-21040-SG

Author: Matthew Fletcher

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Sustainability ScoreCards have been developed to allow the sustainability impact of paints to be easily assessed by the paint industry. The paper introduces sustainability ScoreCards to demonstrate the reasoning between the different data that has been included and the benefits that ScoreCards can offer the paint industry. The data includes embodied CO2e, embodied water, CO2e downstream, lining consumption, durability, product hazard, chemical safety, and VOC content. The usefulness of the information this data provides will be reviewed, along with how the ScoreCards can be used to benchmark the sustainability of different systems allowing a quantified sustainability decision to be made. Using a paint system approach, calculated by area, gives improved insight to the applied system, and makes it easier to use in the paint industry, compared to individual product declarations based on weight of products. ScoreCards are also significantly quicker and cheaper to produce than EPDs, making them a more realistic document to produce for a paint company that may have hundreds of different paints that can result in thousands of different system permeations.

Utilizing Temperature and Humidity Sensors in Developing Corrosion Prevention Strategies

Product Number: 51319-13120-SG

Author: Eric Uutala

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

Understanding environmental conditions experienced during shipping (both domestic and export) and/or storage is critical when determining the most effective corrosion control system for metal components. Temperature and humidity sensors were used to help understand the conditions within industrial packaging applications during different overseas shipping routes and during warehouse storage. The effect of secondary packaging (i.e. polyethylene film) on temperature and humidity within a package was also evaluated. The scope of this paper is to compile and analyze the data and utilizing it to help develop the best corrosion prevention strategies.Key words: Sensor corrosion control packaging overseas shipping

UV-Curable Organic Coating for Corrosion Protection of Inner Surfaces of Pipelines

Product Number: 51324-21025-SG

Author: Alessandro Condini; Angela Giuliani; Carlo Trentalange; Stefano Rossi

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

This study investigates using a novel solvent-free, UV LED-curable coating as a robust corrosion protection solution for the inner surface of steel pipelines. The properties of the UV-cured film were characterized in terms of reactivity, thermomechanical properties, and adhesion to metal substrates. The coating was then applied on the inside of steel pipelines and cured using a patented UV LED lamp specifically designed to fit in confined spaces. Finally, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) characterization and accelerated cyclic electrochemical technique (ACET) were performed on the coated pipes to study the corrosion protection properties of the coating, both with and without the addition of inorganic fillers. The results were compared to a commercially available thermally cured coating. It was found that the UV-cured coating confers high barrier properties, effectively preventing liquid penetration even under elevated temperature conditions. Furthermore, the corrosion protection performance in harsh environments was comparable to and, in some cases, higher than standard epoxy linings.
