Pipings’ Kryptonite: Understanding Repair Options for Piping with Section Loss

Pipings’ Kryptonite: Understanding Repair Options for Piping with Section Loss
Available for download

The sheer volume of piping systems, both insulated and non-insulated, is daunting. Companies, in order to deal with limited inspection resources, have resorted to risk-based strategies in order to prioritize inspection of such systems. By the time surfaces and systems are inspected, they often exhibit wall loss, or pitting corrosion on surfaces. Piping is only as strong as the wall thickness of the original design. When corrosion reduces wall thickness to a minimum required thickness for the given pressure, actions must be taken.

By the time surfaces and systems are inspected, they often exhibit wall loss, or pitting corrosion on surfaces. Piping is only as strong as the wall thickness of the original design. When corrosion reduces wall thickness to a minimum required thickness for the given pressure, actions must be taken. This paper discusses the ASME B31.3 Process Piping requirement for tmin considerations, and the ASME Post Construction Committee 2 (ASME PCC-2-2015) standard for repairs, which includes an engineered composite repair system as an allowable method for strengthening piping.

Fusion Bonded Epoxy Coatings (FBE) and Disbondment

Product Number: 51316-7246-SG
ISBN: 7246 2016 CP
Author: Mehrooz Zamanzadeh
Publication Date: 2016
$20.00

In this paper, failure analysis methodology will be applied to the principal mechanisms by which FBE coatings fail during long term service; with specific application to case studies involving blistering. The case studies apply standard failure analysis techniques to determine the primary causes and modes of failures.

Qualification Testing of Fusion Bonded Epoxy Coatings for Pipeline Exteriors

Product Number: 41206-288-SG

Publication Date: 2006

The selection of a coating for suitable use on the exterior of a pipeline is an important consideration due to the safety and cost consequences of potential corrosion.  Because there are numerous fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) mainline and field joint coating systems available, the selection of the optimum coating system is as much an art as a science.

Performance of Two-Coat v/s Three Coat Paint Systems

Product Number: 41214-829-SG

The Federal Highway Administration, through its Innovative Bridge Research and Construction Program, requested research in the performance of paint coatings applied to bridges. The Maryland State Highway Administration tested two different, two ─ coat systems in a side-by-side comparison with its standard three ─ coat paint system consisting of organic zinc primer / epoxy polyamide intermediate / aliphatic urethane finish coat (currently the “State of the Art” system for most States).
