(Surface Prep) Power Tool Surface Preparation in Shipyards

Product Number: 64-COAT_DEC21

Author: Eric Shoyer

Publication Date: 2021

$20.00

Power tool cleaning has been a common method of surface preparation prior to coating application since the dawn of steel shipbuilding. Power tools are usually handheld pneumatic, or sometimes electric, devices that through impacting or abrasive action can remove coating and corrosion. Most commonly power tool cleaning has been used for re-work or coating repair associated with outfitting. Typically, power tools are limited to the touch up or repair of small areas or areas that cannot be accessed by bulkier equipment such as abrasive blasters.

15.5-Year Inspection Reveals the Effectiveness of a Single-Coat Epoxy

Product Number: 51322-17996-SG

Author: Guy Zanti

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

In the mid-1990s, the US Navy’s technical community, led by Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), recognized existing coatings used to protect the inside of ships’ tanks were failing on average 5-8 years after application. The high cost to blast and recoat over 11,000 tanks every 5-8 years, not counting submarines and aircraft carriers, was prohibitive. To address this issue, the Navy conducted a study to analyze the problem and decided to replace these legacy coatings with high solid epoxy coatings.¹

Corrosion Control Knowledge Sharing Network: Fighting the War on Corrosion from Multiple Fronts

Product Number: 41213-770-SG

Author: Steve Melsom, Linda Stiles, Joe Welsh

Publication Date: 2013

$20.00

Corrosion is one of the leading maintenance costs across the United States Surface Navy, with approximately 25 cents of every dollar spent on maintenance going towards fighting or correcting corrosion. In addition to the huge financial burden, corrosion can limit the ability of our Navy’s ships to meet operational commitments and even prevent them from achieving their expected service life (ESL).

Evaluating Hull Coatings for Precise Impact on Vessel Performance

Product Number: 41206-269-SG

Author: Torben Munk

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

Focusing on the invention of new measurement methods in order to analyze hull coating efficiency more precisely is one approach. However, it is possible to treat performance data from in-situ observations carried out at specified intervals onboard any vessel (over 10,000 dwt) by means of a data collection protocol.

National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) Surface Prep and Coatings (SP&C) Panel Project: Final Report: Reducing Inspection Costs Using the Latest Digital inspection Tools

Product Number: 51216-019-SG

Author: Joesph Walker

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

The National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) is an industry-led, Navy-sponsored collaboration of U.S. shipyards working together to reduce the cost of building, operating and repairing Navy ships by improving productivity and quality through advanced technology and processes. In 2014 the NSRP Surface Preparation & Coatings Panel obtained approval from the Executive Control Board for funding of a project that would evaluate the latest in digital coating inspection instruments and their potential for cost savings in the inspection of Navy vessels.
