Product Number: 41216-963-SG

Author: Troy Fraebel, Tony Ippoliti

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

The authors look toward the future of specifying coating projects starting with the traditional prescriptive, means-and-methods, coating formula-based specifications. The popular qualified product list (QPL) approach is presented along with its drawbacks. The design/build (DB) ideal and limitations of specifying only performance is presented.

Erosion and Corrosion Assessment of Type 304L Stainless Steel Jumper Removed from Nuclear Waste Transfer Service

Product Number: 51324-20634-SG

Author: Sheewa X. Feng; Jason S. Page

Publication Date: 2024

A pipe connection assembly (jumper), fabricated from Type 304L stainless steel, was used to transfer nuclear waste from one tank to other tanks on the Hanford Site. After serving as the routing connection for approximately 11 million liters of tank waste over approximately 11 months, the jumper was removed from service and examined to determine any erosion, pitting, cracking, or other forms of degradation to the jumper. Ultrasonic transducer measurements for wall thickness before and after service at the same selected locations show that there was no measurable wall loss, and no erosion patterns were observed. After the ultrasonic transducer measurement, the jumper section was cut open to expose the inner surface for detailed examination by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The straight pipe sections at both upstream and downstream locations looked pristine, while discoloring was observed at the two welds, in the heat-affected zone, and in nearby regions joining the elbow and straight pipes. There was no erosion, pitting corrosion, or flow-induced corrosion, nor were there other corrosion mechanisms in evidence except for a crack-like feature observed at the boundary of the base metal and weld. Material etching didn't show alignment of the crack with grain boundaries. Degree of sensitization measurement shows that the weld and heat-affected zone, including the neighboring base, was only slightly sensitized during the manufacturing process. The results suggest that there is very low likelihood that the crack-like feature observed from the weld cross section was the result of stress corrosion cracking. Overall, the jumper performed well during the waste transfer process.

Oil and gas industry have employed Corrosion Resistant Alloys (CRA) in highly corrosive environments for a sustained production capacity and longer service life. These materials are regarded to have high resistance to corrosion, however, a prominent issue that can occur in O&G production is the potential of erosion along material surface. In this study, ASTM G76 standard was used as basis to generate high nickel alloy erosion database. The materials used in this study include N06255, N08535 and N07718 with respective nickel content of 48.5, 31.4 and 48 %wt. An Air-Jet Erosion Tester was utilized with Alumina Oxide as erodent for this study, in which the feedrate varied between 1 – 6 g/min with a 1g/min step, impingement velocity ranging between 30 - 110 m/s and a varying impingement angle (15° - 90°) with 15° step bringing the total number of runs in excess of 100. The erosional behavior of materials N06255, N08535 and N07718 were studied and the resulting steady state erosion rate (SSER) for each was determined. The tested materials were ranked based on SSER from lowest to highest metal loss per time as follows N06255, N8535 and N07718 which could be attributed to difference in molybdenum and nickel content.

Erosion Corrosion Phenomena In Oil And Gas Facilities: Evaluation And Monitoring

Product Number: 51322-17665-SG

Publication Date: 2022

High flow velocity can have negative impact on the integrity of the oil and gas production equipment. This negative impact can manifest by the reduction of Corrosion Inhibitor (CI) efficiency: the higher the flow velocity, the lower the CI efficiency. The negative impact can also manifest by the occurrence of liquid erosion corrosion phenomena.

Erosion Resistance Testing for Abrasion and Cavitation Resistant Coatings

Product Number: 41215-910-SG

Cavitation erosion of the rudder has been a serious problem in the high-speed container ship industry. It is well known that the lifetime of a conventional coating system is about 6 months against cavitation bubble collapse. Although STS 316L stainless steel has been applied to prevent such a problem, there are several drawbacks such as high repair cost and poor workability.

Erosion/Corrosion of Duplex Stainless Steel in Sweet Production with Sand Versus CaCO3

Product Number: 51323-19394-SG

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

In the Oil and Gas industry, carbon steel tubing, piping and process equipment may be susceptible to erosion-corrosion damage due to the erosive and corrosive nature of the flow. To minimize the harsh effects and costly losses of erosion-corrosion, corrosion resistance alloys (CRAs) and corrosion inhibitors are commonly used. CRAs such as stainless steels, nickel and titanium alloys have excellent CO2 corrosion resistance.

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

The work here is the culmination of many years of prior effort in the development of an atmospheric corrosion model and accompanying sensors. Atmospheric corrosion is a complicated process where many factors interact to determine if it occurs and its severity. These factors can be separated into three general categories: environmental, surface salts, and materials.

Establishing Internal Corrosion Prediction Model and Inline Inspection (ILI) Correlation

Product Number: 51324-20703-SG

Author: Sankara Papavinasam

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

There are several technical advantages and economic benefits of integrating inline inspection (ILI) findings and internal corrosion prediction models. ILI provides “what has happened” and model provides “why it has happened” and “how it will evolve in the future.” This approach has been demonstrated in oil transmission pipelines, condensate pipelines, dry gas pipelines, wet gas pipelines and multiphase pipelines. This paper (1) explains the benefits of integrating internal corrosion model and ILI; (2) reviews the historical development of internal corrosion models; (3) elaborates the status of correlation between inline inspection (ILI) data and internal corrosion model prediction; and (4) explains future challenges and opportunities.

Estimating Color Fade of PVDF-Based Topcoats for ‘Bright Color’ Architectural Restoration and Protective Coating Applications

Product Number: 51217-082-SG

Author: Kurt Wood

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

Many common topcoat standards used for architectural and protective coating applications (e.g., MPI 311, SSPC-Paint 36) include a durability requirement based on the accelerated weathering performance of a white coating. However, there are currently no standards for field-applied coatings which address the needs of specifiers who want to ensure durable color performance in high chroma (saturated, or bright) colors, e.g., Safety Red.
