Coatings Failures: Analysis and Solutions--Linings

Product Number: 37686-POD

ISBN: 978-1-57590-490-0

$55.00

This multi-author/expert book, Coatings Failures: Analysis and Solutions--Linings, features case studies covering the failure--and fixture--of linings in an assortment of applications. The authors emphasize that the interior linings of tanks and pipes--and even railcars--is just as important as exterior coatings.

The performance of the interior lining correlates with the proper choice and application of the correct coating system.

The methods of investigating the failure include laboratory analyses, studies focused on the environment of the failure, infrared spectroscopy, suggestions on the steps that any investigation needs to consider, etc.

Standards and Best Practice for Surface Preparation and Coating Application of Concrete

Product Number: PB-C0M01-POD

ISBN: 978-1-57590-423-8

$190.00

Concrete surface preparation differs from surface preparation of steel, mostly due to the inherent properties of concrete.

Concrete is a non-uniform mixture of porous, permeable materials (cement, sand, stone, additives, water) with low tensile strength and often numerous cracks and defects. It will vary in properties, including moisture content, from site to site and within any site due to the batched nature of its production and installation.

Ranging from the basics of corrosion in reinforced concrete to using forensic science to determine concrete coatings failure, in this Standards and Best Practice for Surface Preparation and Coating Application of Concrete reference book, students and technicians learn problem solving via multiple case studies and technical artiles.

Potential Theory Applied to Cathodic Protection Design, 2nd Edition

Product Number: 37694-POD

ISBN: 978-1-57590-495-5

Author: Rogelio de las Casas, Ronald Bianchetti

Publication Date: 2024

$155.00

NEW! The first edition of Potential Theory Applied to Cathodic Protection Design showcases the mathematical development of analytical equations for the design of cathodic protection (CP) systems for underground structures with anode groundbeds having various configurations. Equations include calculations for the resistance and voltage (potential) to assist the CP design engineer.

This second edition has several important changes including updates on integral and analytic solutions for horizontal anodes in the same trench, an approach that was insufficiently developed in the first edition.

Also new for the second edition is an index for enhanced reader experience.

Other updates include:

•Generalization of groundbed resistance combining the equation for anodes with different length and depth, with the equation for different distance between anodes.

•Calculation of anode’s current in a groundbed, based on the crowding factor.

•Generalization of groundbed resistance combining the equation for anodes with different length and depth, with the equation for different distance between anodes.

•Calculation of anode’s current in a groundbed, based on the crowding factor.

•By means of the use of integral formulations, particularizes the use of the APM for any combination of underground anode systems.

$Practical Math for the Protective Coatings Industry$

Practical Math for the Protective Coatings Industry

Product Number: 37690-POD

ISBN: 978-1-57590-475-7

$120.00

Back in print, Practical Math for the Protective Coatings Industry is specifically geared toward individuals who have avoided math since leaving school some time ago and now have a difficult time understanding the computations involved in the protective coatings field.

It explains, for example, how to determine the wet film thickness (WFT) needed to meet a specified dry film thickness (DFT) when a paint is thinned by 10%. Those somewhat proficient in calculating quantities will find that this book offers insights into alternative approaches that will lead to a fuller understanding of mathematical relationships.

Corrosion Management for a Sustainable Future

Product Number: 37645-POD

ISBN: 978-1-57590-388-0

Author: Christopher Taylor, Andrea Sanchez Sours

$195.00

NEW!! The editors of Corrosion Management for a Sustainable Future, working in DNV’s Strategic Research and Innovation group at the time, examined facets of the materials lifecycle to help identify strategies that could be undertaken to mitigate the exponential increase in materials extraction and consumption that have characterized the rise of the modern world.

From this activity, a ‘materials stewardship’ strategy was formed, composed of the elements of dematerialization (doing more with less), durability (corrosion and risk management), design for multiple lifecycles, and diversion of waste (recycling and industrial symbiosis).

Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) in the Upstream Oil & Gas Sector

Product Number: 37674-POD

ISBN: 978-1-57590-424-5

Author: Ali Morshed

$125.00

NEW TITLE AVAILABLE NOW!! The main objective for Dr. Ali Morshed's new book, A Practical Guide to Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) in the Upstream Oil & Gas Sector, was to produce a practical MIC guide to facilitate the identification, monitoring, assessment, and control of bacterial activity and MIC that might arise within assets associated with the upstream oil and gas sector.

“Practical” refers to content that can be readily related to various bacterial and MIC scenarios, which are likely to arise for any upstream operator and (a content which) can be easily used to resolve, rectify, or improve such MIC scenarios.

In brief, this book has been written to further help and facilitate bacterial and MIC troubleshooting for the operators and asset owners concerned.

Five relevant and informative case studies are also included.

In addition to the basic principles of AC interference induced by adjacent AC power lines and other sources, the book details the adverse effects of the interference on collocated pipelines, including corrosion and pitting corrosion, coating degradation, deviating of cathodic protection potentials, and the ineffectiveness of cathodic protection systems.

Moreover, effective management measures to this problem are discussed. It also covers the DC interference and DC corrosion of the pipelines, as compared to the AC corrosion phenomenon. The book, the first of its kind, provides a complete and comprehensive understanding to the phenomenon from both the fundamentals and the author's research experiences.

Nonskid Basics: A Contractors Guide for Military Applications

Product Number: 37681-POD

ISBN: 978-1-57590-493-1

Author: Johnny M. Sanchez

$135.00

NEW! The U.S. Navy nomenclature for non-slip deck coatings or rapid-cure, slip-resistant coatings systems is simply nonskid.

Nonskid coatings are a complex coating system containing aggregates which help provide a slip-resistant deck in walk areas or vehicle traffic areas and most importantly aviation decks. The requirements for this aggressive high-tech safety feature must meet the manufacturer’s specifications which gives required ranges by way of profile depth, wet film thickness, and dry film thickness minimums and maximums, allowable application ambient conditions, and also re-coat windows for any particular coating to ensure maximum coatings life longevity.

Nonskid is a heavy aggregated polyamine epoxy that cannot be applied with traditional coating application methods.

This book provides guidance to contractors from surface preparation, primers and compounds, nonskid application, inspection, and nonskid failures and repair.
