Aluminum, after iron is the second -most widespread metal used on earth. Unpainted aluminum forms a protective aluminum oxide layer over the pure aluminum metal alloy and, in most atmospheric environments, is resistant to corrosion deterioration. However, pure aluminum is virtually always alloyed with other metallic elements to enhance its properties, primarily to increase its strength, but also to improve its formability, weldability, machineability, electrical conductivity, and corrosion resistance.
This presentation you will Identify SSPC standards most commonly used by the industrial coatings industry and answer some frequently asked questions about SSPC standards.
The purpose of this presentation is to introduce you to low-pressure, ambient temperature spraying of polyurea and to discuss the advantages of low-pressure spray equipment. Some of the inherent advantages are equipment cost, ease of use, less over-spray, and equipment mobility. This presentation will be divided into several key areas. We will examine features and benefits, general equipment specifications, capabilities, operation of the system, typical periodic maintenance requirements and examples of available options.
At present multiple standards on blast-cleaned surfaces are in use depending on region and specifications of the project. However, most standards are relatively clear on the description of a surface some overlap each other. These overlaps are often considerate as the norm for the most comparisons between ISO and related documents, however, sometimes are significantly off. Some of these documents will be highlighted to compare the results and their impact on the coating job.
This paper will address both existing and new air barrier technology. Manufacturers, engineers, architects, trade professionals, and testing agencies will learn essential features of this emerging industry. Manufacturers will learn about the material properties and product performance requirements of air barrier coatings. Engineers and architects will learn basic building science principals required to create an air barrier utilizing coatings.
Failure of flooring materials is usually due to a combination of factors rather than a single, simple cause that led to below expectation performance. For example, construction on a less than high quality concrete slab on grade, combined with the absence of a vapor retarder, with residual concrete wear and contamination, followed by inadequate surface preparation, and finally poor coating selection applied during inclement ambient conditions that is turned over early to severe service is a recipe for disaster.
This paper examines the authors successful experiences on some simple and very complex projects where both the coatings and environmental requirements were limited to a few pages. Being made up almost entirely of SSPC/NACE and PDCA standards that described “performance criteria” as opposed to being a prescriptive or proprietary type of specification defining what was to be used, when it was to be used and how it was to be done.
Although the form and function of a well-designed building are important, it is the long-term performance and durability of a building and its components that will be important to the owner(s) and occupants. Therefore, during the design of buildings, the selection of the appropriate materials and understanding the long-term performance of the specified materials exposed to various site-specific environmental conditions is critical in avoiding the potential “failure by design”. The case study presented will focus on the coating failure by design, that could have been avoided by the original design and construction team and resulted in costly litigation and eventually the complete removal of a key architectural element on two high-rise condominium buildings located along the Florida coastline
Fabricators and Construction Firms rely on sub-tier vendors to supply a vast array of components and equipment for integration into the products they are supplying their clients. This may include valves, engines, motors, power supplies, tanks, tubs, vessels and other numerous items. The items and components provided by sub-tier vendors are normally prepared and coated prior to being delivered with what are typically referred to as original equipment manufacturer (OEM) coating systems.
We have known for years that our country’s infrastructure has been deteriorating, with little being done to prevent further degradation or to restore vital roads, bridges, tunnels, airports and railways to a safe, operable condition. Because of this serious problem, President Donald Trump promised a $1 trillion infrastructure investment to repair what he called the nation's "crumbling" infrastructure, and to initiate a "new program of national rebuilding."
An Inspector’s duties can vary widely from project to project, quite often straying from the traditional observe, verify, and record. This paper examines the plethora of problems that can develop should an inspector be assigned too much or too little responsibility, as well as how best to avoid such developments.
