Product Number: 51316-7335-SG

ISBN: 7335 2016 CP

Author: Angela Reese

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) coatings protect the underlying metal from corrosion. The lack of research on the microbial impact of pipeline coating failures leaves a significant knowledge gap. We analyzed two FBE coating samples from buried steel transmission pipelines with unusually rapid external pitting.

A Case Study on the Failure of Fiber Reinforced Epoxy (FRE) Lining on Condensate Storage Tank

Product Number: 51323-19193-SG

Author: Ahmad Raza Khan Rana, George Jarjoura, Syed Umair Niaz Bukhari

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

A remarkable amount of financial loss is incurred every year because of premature failures of paints and coatings. The budget to repair such failures extremely outweighs the initial cost of coatings, since excessive engineering may be looked-for to access the deteriorating areas of a coating system. Additional accountability may also be anticipated if a facility stops operation for the essential repairs to be made.

Adhesion Failure Mode Analysis: Cyclic Peel Testing in Synthetic Sea Water

Product Number: 41209-482-SG

Author: Ray Holden

Publication Date: 2009

$20.00

In this paper, I will discuss such an example of when the predicted service of the coating determines that a more dynamic method must be utilized. I will discuss testing that was conducted for immersion service where flow of water over the surface was a major consideration. The question of how well the adhesion would hold up in real life service could not be properly answered by the degree of failure in this case. I discovered that the more important consideration was the survivability of the coating if a defect were introduced.

An Overview of Petrographic Examination of Concrete as Related to Polymer Floor Coating Failures

Product Number: 41213-727-SG

Author: Jon Asselanis

Publication Date: 2013

$20.00

Often when a polymer coating failure occurs, the concrete quality and integrity are questioned. Core samples removed from the concrete slab are examined using petrographic techniques to help determine the cause of the coating failure. The basics of the petrographic examination, the equipment used and what information it can provide are presented.

Applying Common Sense to Moisture Vapor Emissions and Moisture Content Test Requirements When Coating Below Grade Concrete Structures in Wastewater Applications

Product Number: 41216-989-SG

Author: R. A. Nixon

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

When establishing the minimum conditions suitable for coating concrete, many coating manufacturers, and hence specifying engineers and contractors, generally rely on unrealistic moisture content and moisture vapor emission rate requirements. These compulsory values are founded on laboratory testing rather than field experience, or worse still, on supposition rooted in unachievable and unrelated requisites.

Case Study - Coating Failure or Building Failure

Product Number: 51216-015-SG

Author: Kevin Brown, Ken Trimber, Harold DeCelle

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

This paper presents the diagnostic work undertaken to determine the cause of failing coating and spalling block on the exterior of a commercial building in northern Illinois. The field assessment methods used to diagnose the problems including non-destructive and destructive methods for determining moisture content in the masonry, infrared thermography, and visual assessments are described.

Case Study Based On Coating Failure Analysis Of Cargo Container

Product Number: 51322-18110-SG

Author: Syed Umair Niaz Bukhari

Publication Date: 2022

Coatings are a composite blend of raw ingredients that are mixed, applied to a prepared substrate, and dried and cured correctly to perform to their maximum capability. Failures and defects can appear themselves at numerous times in the life of a coating. Prior to application, they can take the shape of settlement and skinning, during application as runs and sags, shortly after application as solvent popping and orange peel, and during service as blistering and rust spotting. Therefore, it is not unexpected that those coatings can suffer from premature failure and/or exhibit defects that may or may not result in failure. Coatings nowadays are the most efficient method to shield metals and thus has been widely engaged among various protective techniques ^{1, 2}.

Case Study of the Premature Coating Failure on the Boiler Tubes

Product Number: 51324-21187-SG

Author: Ahmad Raza Khan Rana; George Jarjoura; Shahzad Karim; Syed Umair Niaz Bukhari

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Boiler tubes in the penthouse portions are meant to extract the heat from the flue gases. The tube material and coatings on the boiler tubes are generally selected to mitigate the high-temperature oxidation and other metallurgical damage mechanisms. Tubes are not designed to experience aqueous corrosion from the external environment. For these reasons, boilers are designed and laid out in a fashion to limit the ingress of moisture and corrosive ions from external sources such as wind, cooling tower drift, etc. This paper addresses the case study on the failure of primer coating on the boiler tubes from the upset condition that allowed the flooding inside the penthouse leading to aggressive corrosion on the tube skin. This paper also discusses the multiple corrosion modes observed and their associated mechanisms followed by recommending corrective measures. Finally, the paper addresses the contribution of insulation material in heterogeneous corrosion morphologies.

Case Study On The Failure Of Polyurea Elastomer (PU) Coating in a Sea Water Storage Tank

Product Number: 51323-19160-SG

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Protective coatings are widely used for shielding metal surfaces against service-induced degradations. Immersion-grade coatings protect the metal surfaces by hindering the interaction of steel (i.e., substrate) with service thereby providing corrosion and even abrasion resistance. Coatings nowadays are the most efficient method to shield metals and thus has been widely engaged among various protective techniques.

Causes of Coating Failures

Product Number: 41209-512-SG

Author: Kenneth B. Tator

Publication Date: 2009

$20.00

Industrial and marine protective coating systems are most commonly applied without incident and perform as expected over their anticipated service life. However, occasionally, a coating system will fail prematurely, for unexpected reasons, and with expensive consequences. This paper addresses those unexpected failures and provides reasons and remedies for such occurrences.

Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC) System for Military Vehicles

Product Number: 41216-996-SG

Author: Alex G. Piazza

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

The United States Army and Marine Corps (USMC) paint their vehicles with the Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC) system. This system consists of a pretreatment, an epoxy primer, and polyurethane topcoat, similar to many other industrial paint systems, but with added functional requirements (e.g., chemical agent resistance, camouflage, and signature reduction) unique to these paints. The systems that utilize these coatings are also designed for specific capabilities, of which corrosion is usually a lower priority. Lastly, the vehicles and equipment of the Army and USMC typically operate in harsh environments, which are highly corrosive.
