Horizontal Directional Drilling In External Pipeline Coating Integrity

Product Number: 51322-17785-SG

Author: Eric Pintueles

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

The purpose of the “Bore Test” is to know the external quality of the coating after the installation of the pipe section, as picture 1. NACE standard “TM-102-2002-SG”1a defines four kinds of coating quality such as: excellent, good, fair and poor. To know the final quality of coating with this procedure. It was used two different electrical tests. DC current test using minimum voltage drop method and, the 3 pole test which is called by the same manufacture of the Multifunction Ground Resistance tester.

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

Houston’s water system serves more than 4.5 million people regionally and produces more than 146 billion gallons of treated water every year. The city has more than 300 above-grade water line crossings, some of which have been in service for over 75 years. In 2012, Houston Public Works (HPW) implemented a program to inspect every above-grade water line crossing across the city.

How to conquer corrosion and cavitation erosion on submerged areas and tanks

Product Number: 51218-118-SG

Author: Manuel Hof

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

Corrosion and cavitation erosion on steel structures are problems and can have a huge impact on safety and economy. In order to prevent corrosion, protective coatings can be used as a barrier between the steel surface and the corrosive elements such as seawater or various liquid cargos. However, when coating systems fail the surface will be exposed to the environment with all consequences. From that perspective, the weakest link is the coating used to protect the steel.

HOW A COMBINATION OF A POLYMER AND PVC FILM CAN PROVIDE COMPLETE GREEN COATING SOLUTIONS?

Product Number: 51218-109-SG

Author: Thomas Fink

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

Vegetal polymers are today a cost effective solution for complex metallic geometry parts (bolts, flanges, valves, etc…), PVC vinyl film became the same for flat and semi flat shapes (bulkheads, tank walls, pipes, etc…). These methods do not require costly surface preparation such as SSPCSP10, just cleaning per SSPC-SP2. Together it leads complete and long longevity if compared to most of conventional painting procedures, generating both performance and economic benefits.

How Blast and Coat Climate Control Equipment Restored Prominent Facilities in New Orleans Post-Katrina

Product Number: 41209-507-SG

Author: Don Schnell

Publication Date: 2009

$20.00

Industry executives involved in industrial blasting and coating projects may find it surprising that climate control equipment typically used in those processes played a major role in recovery efforts in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. This paper highlights how this equipment helped restore three important structures in New Orleans – the Louisiana Superdome, Notarial Archives and the evidence room of the New Orleans Police Department.

How Can New Coating Technologies Secure Long Lasting Corrosion Protection even under Unpredictable Surface Conditions?

Product Number: MECC23-20116-SG

Author: Anders Solli; Anders Skilbred

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

All ships need periodic maintenance, either onboard a FPSO, in a water ballast tank or a hull side of a marine vessel. When preparing for maintenance of such structures it has been standard practice to sandblast the surface. Sandblasting creates superb surfaces for coating application with ultimate cleanliness, but due to the dust generated by the process it is facing more local restrictions due to environmental impact and HSE.

How Design Features Unique to AP1000 Nuclear Power Plants Affect Coating System Design Requirements

Product Number: 41213-740-SG

Author: Michael C. Durbin, Patrick Ward, Kristin Ruth

Publication Date: 2013

$20.00

Nuclear power provides a heat source for steam-electric generation that does not pollute the atmosphere. Heat is produced in a nuclear reactor by the neutron radiation emitted by the SteadyState fusion of enriched or natural uranium. The nuclear renaissance that is emerging in the United States will be based on new power plant designs from a variety of U.S. and international sources.

How Fluoropolymers Resist Chemical Attack across the pH Spectrum

Product Number: 51324-20603-SG

Author: Jason Knapp

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

When chemical process systems require extremely harsh or demanding environments, material selection is critical for providing longevity and preventing downtime. For systems utilizing exceedingly low or high pH chemicals, fluoropolymers are often an excellent choice to prevent corrosion in a system. The strong carbon-fluorine bond allows fluoropolymers to thrive in areas where other materials would be subject to failures. Strong acids are handled exceptionally well by many fluoropolymers, and certain copolymerization reactions with materials such as PVDF can provide a material that holds up to even more challenging situations. This paper will summarize the most commonly used fluoropolymers in the industry, as well as discuss applications where fluoropolymers are used. The paper will also detail why fluoropolymers can resist exceptionally aggressive chemicals, and how PVDF-HFP copolymers improve the corrosion resistance of both low and high pH environments. Case studies will also be provided.

How Have the Latest Instrument Developments Changed the Way We Measure Profile?

Product Number: 51219-173-SG

Author: David Barnes

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

Recently new instruments have been introduced into the market for measuring the profile/roughness of blasted surfaces. One of the major developments is the ability to use scanning technology to rapidly assess a surface and provide profile measurement. This paper looks at the new instruments and the potential impact they can have on the measurement of profile and the benefits to the inspector in terms of the improved efficiency available in completing an inspection.
