Effect of Surface Preparation Grades of Weld Seam on the Coating Performance in Marine Structures

Product Number: 51218-150-SG
Author: Sangmoon Shin
Publication Date: 2018
$20.00

According to the international surface preparation standard for welds (ISO8501-3), the preparation grades before the application of paints are divided into 3 levels, P1, P2 and P3. These grades are described with rough qualitative representations, not description of surface treatment methods or measurable conditions. Because of the ambiguous wordings on the standard, there have been a lot of arguments for the surface preparation grades and abraded condition during the construction.

Failure Investigation of Internal Girth Weld Coating Surface Preparation: A Case Study

Product Number: MPWT19-14360
Author: Rashed Alhajri, Yousef Alrayes, Fahad Alhindas, Ghassan Bahamden
Publication Date: 2019
$0.00

During the construction of a 56km long 16 in. carbon steel sour gas pipeline, repetitive surface
preparation failures were detected during visual inspection of pipeline girth weld internal surface prior to
coating application. Such failures represented 67% of the total pipeline girth welds and were manifested
by excessive sharp-edges at the root pass. To identify the failure causes, an investigation was
performed through reviewing the pipeline, fabrication and coating application specifications and
procedures, quality control records and performing an extensive visual inspection through an advanced
video robotic crawler on all pipeline girth welds made. Upon investigation analysis, the failures were
caused by sharp-edges in the root pass which were attributed to improper practices during
manufacturing, field fabrication and pre-coating quality control. The failure analysis indicated that the
mechanized Gas Metal Arc Welding process, with the parameters used, was not suitable for internal
girth weld coating application. In addition, a more stringent requirement should be applied to the
acceptable pipe-end diameter tolerance and pre-coating quality control to ensure absence of similar
premature surface preparation failures. The pre-coating quality control can be improved through
utilization of robotic laser contour mapping crawler for precise detection and sizing of unsatisfactory
surface weldment defects, including sharp edges.

SSPC-SP COM-2017, SSPC Surface Preparation Commentary for Metal Substrates

Product Number: SSPC-SP COM-2017
Publication Date: 2017
$109.00

This Surface Preparation Commentary (SP COM) is intended to be an aid for the coating specifier in selecting methods, materials, and standards for specifying the proper surface preparation for steel, and other metals (not including ductile iron pipe). The use of these standards in a coating specification will give direction to the contractor regarding what is required and give direction to the inspector on verifying compliance to the specification.

The paper is an overview of the National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) Surface Preparation and Coating Panel’s (SP&C) mission to reduce the cost of construction, maintenance, and repair of US Navy ships. The Panel’s “Specs to Decks” approach; research, evaluate, develop, and sustain current and emerging technologies that will reduce cost and maintain or enhance quality, serves as a rudder that guides the Panel’s performance.

The most commonly accepted way to protect structural steel on bridges is with liquid applied coatings (paint). The current life expectancy for field-applied protective coatings (maintenance painting) is about 20 years in snow/ice and marine areas. Most bridge owners use a remove-and replace strategy for maintenance painting, with unit costs usually in excess of $10.00 per ft. The cost of maintaining a protective coating during the service life of a bridge may approach the bridge’s original construction costs.

Implementation of Pulsed Laser Ablation Technology in Surface Preparation Processes

Product Number: 51324-20982-SG
Author: Matt Binsfield
Publication Date: 2024
$40.00
The transition of pulsed laser ablation (PLA) technology into the hands of maintainers within shipyards and the transportation industry requires an assessment of multiple factors. From the technical perspective relative to surface preparation and corrosion mitigation, it is essential to understand the impact of PLA energy into substrates and the resultant adhesion characteristics of subsequent coatings. Technical areas to be discussed include metallurgical properties, such as stress corrosion cracking, weldability, bulk properties, fatigue life, as well as adhesion. The effective application of laser ablation is of critical concern to preservation professionals, which requires an understanding of how the process works, the proper appearance of a laser ablated surface, whether that is a tightly adhered existing coating prepared for re-coating, or to expose some or all of the base metal substrate. Accordingly, both laser operators and inspectors need specific information and training to appropriately use the technology to meet preservation objectives and requirements. These needs will be addressed through a forthcoming AMPP Laser Ablation Standard, Technical Guide, and Visual Guide. Determining where to apply PLA based on extensive test data currently available, as well as understanding where future investigation is required, will be summarized.

Fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) linings are used worldwide to prevent the corrosion and deterioration of storage tank bottoms in petroleum, petrochemical, and other services. Experience has shown that the useful life of an FRP lining may exceed 25 years. API Standard 653 permits a minimum remaining thickness of the tank bottom plate to be 1.25 mm (0.050 in) when lined with FRP compared to a thickness of 2.5 mm (0.10 in) if unlined or lined with a nonreinforced coating system and not equipped with a tank bottom leak detection system.
