Environmental and Economic Impact of Utilizing Climate Control Measures During Surface Preparation and Coating

Product Number: 41211-646-SG

Author: Don J. Schnell

Publication Date: 2011

$20.00

The use of climate control is commonly perceived as an additional cost and the energy consumed is often substantial. A closer look at the real impact can uncover economic and environmental benefits that may offset and even exceed the initial costs. These benefits include life cycle costs of the coating system, efficiencies in the project sequencing and minimizing coating and solvent waste

Equifinality: Specifying Performance

Product Number: 41216-963-SG

Author: Troy Fraebel, Tony Ippoliti

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

The authors look toward the future of specifying coating projects starting with the traditional prescriptive, means-and-methods, coating formula-based specifications. The popular qualified product list (QPL) approach is presented along with its drawbacks. The design/build (DB) ideal and limitations of specifying only performance is presented.

Evaluation of Surface Preparation Methods to Remediate Chlorides

Product Number: 51217-056-SG

Author: Bobby Meade, Greenman-Pedersen, Michael Baase

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

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.

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.

Fiber Reinforced Polymer, Process, Applications, and Inspection

Product Number: 51220-271-SG

Author: Ramon E. Pelaez

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (FRP) materials are used to rehabilitate and strengthen structures systems and components including but not limited to concrete bridges, columns, marine piers, metallic and concrete pipes, metallic and concrete piles, parking garages, and even storage tanks structures. The growing appeal of this rehabilitation process consists of two primary purposes; to increase shear and load capacity and repair and prevent corrosion degradation.

Forced Cure of Applied Linings

Product Number: 51219-186-SG

Author: Shawn Evans

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

The practice of induced heat to decontaminate a tank (pre-baking) that has been in previous service for re-lining and / or the post application heat curing (force curing) of an applied lining may be considered as a lost art known currently to the few lining specialist within the industry. The objective of the presentation is to inform or remind Owners, Specifiers, Inspectors, Applicators and Vendor Representatives of the requirements and benefits of these processes to obtain a successful relining or tank lining project and additionally attain time savings and prevent cold curing issues.

Formulated Didecyl Dimethyl Ammonium Bicarbonate/Carbonate (DDABC), a Multi- Metal Corrosion Inhibitor with Relevance to Commercial Surface Preparation and Coatings Technologies

Product Number: 41207-306-SG

Author: Thomas C. Bedard, T. David Burleigh, Joseph Kimler

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

A new water-soluble quaternary ammonium compound, didecyldimethylammonium bicarbonate/carbonate (DDABC), has been evaluated as a corrosion inhibitor via standard electrochemical tests on steel and shown to be highly effective. At the proper dilution, the inhibitor migrates to the metal/solution interface and forms a monomolecular film on the anodic sites.
