Quality, Changing the Culture in Construction

Product Number: 41205-171-SG
Author: C. William Hames, Jr., Ron Rabine
Publication Date: 2005
$20.00

The construction industry has struggled to fully embrace the philosophy of defect prevention rather than detection as a quality objective. Quality is more often discussed in sales presentations and marketing literature than in strategic plans or board meetings. This paper explores quality principles and methodologies employed in the manufacturing industry over the past twenty years that have resulted in measurable performance improvements yet are not adopted by the construction industry.

Local Hard Zones On TMCP Large Diameter Line Pipes: What Do We Know?

Product Number: 51322-17565-SG

The current paper deals with a thorough analysis of these newly recognized LHZ with Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Electron Back Scattering Diffraction (EBSD) investigations through the wall thickness of pipes. Internal diameter (ID) surface, intermediate zone and bulk metal microstructures showed an increase of a strong misorientation while approaching the ID. Thus, LHZ is characterized by the presence of lath and especially lower bainite type microstructures associated to high local hardness above the NACE MR 0175 / ISO 15156 limits for sour service applications.

Instant-Off Potentials Underestimate Cathodic Protection Levels on Pipelines

Product Number: 51323-19083-SG
Author: Peter Haas
Publication Date: 2023
$20.00

Cathodic protection (CP) is used to prevent external corrosion on underground pipelines. The effectiveness of CP is commonly evaluated by measuring the DC potential (voltage) of the pipeline with respect to a reference electrode located on the surface of the earth above the pipeline. Criteria used to interpret pipeline potential measurements are given by Section 6 of NACE SP-0169-2013 “Control of External Corrosion on Underground or Submerged Metallic Piping Systems.

Publication Date: 2015
$20.00

Composite coatings are a class of materials that are described as fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) that consist of extremely strong tensile fibers saturated in a binding resin. From the original development as tank bottom lining materials designed to handle surface movement and corrosion, the applications for composite coatings have broadened and moved into the mainstream, with industry-accepted design codes written around their uses and applications.

Various polymeric coatings have been exposed to natural saltwater environments in Buzzard' s Bay, MA and at La Costa Island, FL for the last 18 years and 21 years respectively.   The coating systems were applied to 8 inch (20.32 cm) by 8 inch (20.32 cm) by 40 feet (12.19 m) A36 steel "H" pilings. The depth of the water ranged from 4 feet (1.22 m) to 8 feet (2.44 m). Periodic visual inspections have been conducted to evaluate the performance of the coating/ primer systems in the splash zone and in the immersed zone.      The coatings had windows to evaluate the under film corrosion attack by saltwater present near the Cape Cod canal. The coatings were evaluated according to ASTM visual standards at low tide. Results of the coating inspections and an evaluation of their effectiveness in preventing the corrosion of steel pilings in seawater will be presented.

Corrosion failures in the oil and gas industry are dominated by localized failures in carbon steel; however, the industry has yet to develop standards for localized corrosion specifically for low alloy carbon steels (CS) such as UNS K03014 (API) 5LX65 [X65]) or UNS G10180 (C1018). The reasons for the lack of standardization are understandable as they are not trivial. The challenges are as follows: 1) CS pitting is more complex than pitting on stainless steels (SS) and can be impacted by corrosion byproducts and other forms of scales, and 2) surface finish of a test coupon or electrode has a significant impact on the three phases of pitting: initiation, propagation, and termination.

Proactive Corrosion Control Assessment to Treat Higher-Acidity Gas

Product Number: 51324-20773-SG

Prior to commissioning of a new gas treatment plant, geotechnical analysis showed significant increase in the acidity levels of the feed. Therefore, on-site proactive corrosion control assessment was performed to enable processing higher-acidity gas safely without impacting project schedule. The corrosiveness level of the new feed was re-evaluated in terms of the new required operating conditions. The dominant corrosion damage mechanisms were identified based on the new levels of Hydrogen Sulfide and Carbon Dioxide. Industrial standards and engineering practices were utilized to determine the potential impact on assets integrity. Top corrosion challenges that could be driven up by the increase in acid gas levels were proactively identified. Potential risks in the inlet and gas sweetening facilities were assessed, including the possibility of developing accelerated corrosion at the amine contactor and regenerator columns. The material endurance for the higher operating conditions, temperature and pressure, was evaluated. Further, different inspection techniques were utilized to validate the study results and findings. The inspection methods that were used to analyze and assess the amine contactor and regenerator columns are the On-Stream Inspection (OSI) using the External Ultrasonic Testing (UT) and Visual Examination of the internal surface of the equipment during the turnaround interval. Moreover, process and corrosion simulations of anticipated acid gas and water levels were performed to evaluate the need for advanced corrosion control and inspection measures. Based on that, an effective corrosion control strategy was established including different integrated mitigation measures to ensure assets integrity throughout their full-life cycle.
