During April 2010 through June 2010, tank repairs were performed at Defense Fuel Support Point (DFSP) in San Pedro, CA. A two-part Modified Epoxy Novolac Polysulfide Coating was applied to three (3) previously uncoated 50,000 barrel (Bbl) underground concrete storage tanks. The tanks have been in operation since 1942, storing various bunker and jet fuels. The scope included surface evaluation, surface preparation, concrete sealer application and coating application.

The NACE TM0208-2018 Jar Test remains an industry-wide recognized standard for evaluating the vapor-inhibiting ability (VIA) of raw materials and finished products to provide off-contact corrosion protection of steel surfaces1. It is particularly useful for comparing the efficacy of different VCI chemistries, as well as for monitoring performance consistency between productions of VCI functionalized materials.
Esta norma conjunta abrange o uso de abrasivos para jateamento com o objetivo de atingir um grau definido de limpeza de superfícies de aço antes da aplicação de um revestimento protetor ou um sistema de revestimento. Esta norma destina-se ao uso por especificadores, aplicadores, inspetores de cobertura ou revestimento ou outros que venham a ser responsáveis por definir um grau padrão de limpeza de superfície.
O foco desta norma é o jateamento abrasivo brush-off. O jateamento abrasivo ao metal branco, o jateamento abrasivo ao metal quase branco, o jateamento abrasivo comercial e o jateamento abrasivo industrial são abordados em normas separadas.
The construction of the new One World Trade Center (WTC) in New York includes exposed steel members and bolted splice plates. Accordingly, surface preparation and coating system selection for the bolt/washer/nut assemblies for the bolted connections was critical, since the splice plates would be visible. There was little published information on surface preparation and coating requirements for ASTM A 490 black bolts.
Laser cleaning has been an effective tool in manufacturing and industrial applications for over 20 years. Cleaning, as well as cutting and welding, has shown vast improvements in repeatability and precision with the use of laser technology [4]. Previous bonding techniques such as mechanical fixturing and welding can be inconsistent and cause issues like increased structural weight, decreased structural integrity, galvanic corrosion, and many more potential failures [5]. Laser cleaning may propose a viable option for adhering materials to reduce weight and increase repeatability. Welding practices continue to develop to reduce both weld thickness and porosity. Porosity in welds is typically caused from failure to prepare the surface adequately [1]. Failures in both welding applications and adhesive bonding applications can be reduced with the use of laser technology.
Concrete will crack – that is a fact. When cracks appear, they are dynamic or static, and structural or non-structural. If the crack is static, non-structural, and does not leak, epoxies are great to restore design strength. However, since concrete constantly shrinks, expands, and often leaks, the use of a flexible polyurethane resin to permanently seal active leaks is the optimum choice to create a leak-free environment.
This paper provides an introduction to the hot-dip galvanization process as an effective and important coating option and the necessary surface preparation steps for successful painting over hot-drip galvanized steel, also known as a duplex system. Proper practices and procedures must be used to prepare new and weathered zinc-coated surfaces on after-fabrication steel products for painting to improve the bond of paint to the zinc surface and provide long-term protection against corrosion.
There have been specifications written for the use of dehumidification during surface preparation and coatings since the early nineties. These early specs keyed in on parameters that were believed to get the job done and reflected the limited knowledge and experience of a very new industry. Since then, dehumidification has become much more widely accepted and specifications exist for pipes, above ground storage tanks, ships and containments.
Coating application projects require coordination and communication between the owner, specifier, coating manufacturer, and applicator in order to succeed.
Esta norma conjunta da SSPC/NACE define o processo de preparação de uma superfície de aço-carbono ao grau de metal quase-branco de limpeza superficial usando um método de jateamento abrasivo úmido (WAB) de limpeza. Esta norma destina-se ao uso por especificadores, aplicadores e inspetores de revestimentos ou outros cuja responsabilidade seja definir um grau padrão de limpeza superficial para superfícies de aço-carbono a ser alcançada por limpeza por jateamento abrasivo úmido.
A limpeza WAB é um processo que usa uma mistura de água e abrasivo que pode produzir diversos níveis de limpeza e perfil (aspereza) superficial similar aqueles obtidos por limpeza por jateamento abrasivo seco (DAB). A limpeza WAB pode ser especificada quando se deseja supressão de pó, e também pode ser um meio de reduzir a contaminação por sais solúveis. O nível de limpeza WAB especificado deve ser o mesmo que o grau de limpeza especificado correspondente para o processo de limpeza DAB.
This presentation focuses on Abrasive Blasting as it is the most widely form of surface preparation in the Protective Coating Industry. It is a brief but comprehensive presentation of the top 5 mistakes made when Abrasive Blasting and how these can be resolved to lower the total cost of a surface preparation project.
This presentation will outline the results and conclusions of a number of years of testing and experience in surface preparation for high-performance coatings. Testing has shown that there are a number of important surface preparation variables that are not routinely monitored and controlled on coating projects. These variables will be identified and guidance will be provided on appropriate treatment to achieve coating results.
