An Overview of Significant Updates to High Voltage Holiday Detection Standards (NACE SP0188/SP0274/SP0490, ASTM D5612/G62, ISO 29601)

Product Number: 51324-21164-SG

High Voltage Holiday Detectors are commonly used to locate pinholes in coatings by generating a spark when an electrode passes over an area of bare substrate. Pinholes and areas of a non-continuous coating film can provide a direct path for premature failure of the coated asset. Historically a rule of thumb across the coating industry had been to utilize 100 volts per mil of coating as the recommended voltage setting for holiday detection. A paper presented at a recent AMPP conference1 provided compelling evidence, and confirmed industry suspicions, that the rule of thumb and test voltages specified by nearly every published standard were inadequate to reliably detect all holidays. In response, industry stakeholders worked to build consensus and update the relevant standards with science-based and experimentally-proven specifications that help ensure High Voltage Holiday Detectors are used appropriately, and with the correct voltage settings, to reliably detect holidays. This paper provides a review of these updates.

Data Management for Coating Inspection Gauges

Product Number: 41207-330-SG

Author: John Fletcher

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

Many modern electronic gauges have the capability for transmitting or uploading data to a computer via a data port. This can mean transferring the data to a spreadsheet for customized analysis or to a data management software package for analysis using standard statistical methods. This paper describes the format of the data for a range of gauges used for the coating inspection process including surface profile determination, climatic condition monitoring and coating thickness measurement.

Deriving Value from Coating Inspection Data

Product Number: 41207-301-SG

Author: J. Peter Ault, James A. Ellor

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

Significant quality control/quality assurance data is collected during industrial coating projects. Too often this data is surveyed for compliance with the contract requirements and then relegated to a file cabinet, never to be seen again. The paper highlights the types of coating inspection data collected and various “value-added” analyses which may be performed.

Digital Data Management for Coating Inspection Tasks on Steel Structures

Product Number: 41209-475-SG

Author: John Fletcher

Publication Date: 2009

$20.00

A new software system has been developed to allow a plan to be created for the inspection tasks associated with the coating processes for a steel structure. This system uses a coatings library to create the coating systems that are to be applied to various user-defined zones of the structure. These zones are identified on a schematic drawing of the structure and then the coating systems and inspection regimes that are required can be associated with these zones.

Evaluation of a Crude Oil Loading Berth for Maintenance Coating

Product Number: 41207-353-SG

Author: Thomas J. Marchesani

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

During FY2003, a feasibility study evaluated the condition of coatings on a crude oil loading berth, analyzed the ramifications of coating failure, and performed life cycle economic comparisons of maintenance coating alternatives. The subject paper presents a summary of the coating inspection results as well as an alternative method to determine the effect of coating failure and corrosion on marine loading berths.

The Responsibility of the Third Party Inspector in Today’s Marine Environment

Product Number: 41208-433-SG

Author: James Messenger

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

The marine inspector is responsible for monitoring the coating specification in its simplest form. Applicators and shipyards get caught up with the inspectors when warranties are mentioned. As I have discussed with owners, yards and applicators, I know of no way to dial in an inspectors criteria based upon warranty. The inspector’s criteria will be based upon the coating specifications. How he handles this depends upon his training, experience and education. Many third party inspectors come from coating companies or applicators. They may or may not get certification from NACE or SSPC.
