Cold-Spray Application For In-Field Corrosion And Damage Repair

Product Number: 51323-19086-SG

Author: Joshua P. James

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

The need for corrosion mitigation and repair is a perennial concern for a wide array of industries. An attractive evolution in coatings application for mitigating the effects of environmental/operational degradation is cold spray of metallic replacement layers. As cold spray technologies continue to become more commonplace, portable, low-pressure cold spray systems presents an opportunity to bring metallic repair to the field for heavily damaged or corroded assets.

Efficacy Of MIL-DTL-5541 Compliant Non-Chromate Conversion Coating Repair Materials

Product Number: 51322-17625-SG

Author: David G. Enos, Derek Wichhart

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Chromate conversion coatings are relied upon to ensure the long-term corrosion performance and surface electrical properties of aluminum alloys, as well as to improve the bond strength and adhesive properties of organic coatings and adhesives. Chromate based chemistries have been all but eliminated in Europe, and it is believed the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will stage their elimination in the USA within the next 5 to 10 years. The development of chemistries to replace chromate has been a hot area of research for over 30 years, and now a series of commercial alternatives have become available. These new coatings differ in their chemistry and performance characteristics, as well as their functional limitations, from chromate.

Impact of Welder Performance on the Integrity of Welds, and Enhancement of Welds Quality

Product Number: MPWT19-15249

Author: FANDEM, QASEM A, ALSUBAIKHY, HANI A, GHAMDI, ABDULRAHMAN M.

Publication Date: 2019

Piping and pipeline are considered to be 60-70% of the oil and gas industry equipment. One of the most crucial factors to complete high quality projects within planned schedules is to focus on the quality of welding activities. Furthermore, the non-skilled welder is considered as a main parameter to produce welds with imperfections beyond the acceptable limits. Welders should have the required welding skills to perform the welding activities and produce sound welds, resulting in low weld rejection. On the other hand, poor welder’s performance produces low quality welds which affect the integrity of the welds and contribute to project delay and increase costs. This paper addresses methods to qualify welders and monitor their performance throughout the project lifecycle. The paper will study ISO 9606 approval testing of welders, American Welding Society (AWS) and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Sec IX minimum requirements to qualify and certify welders. It will also illustrate the main variables that may contribute to high welding rejection rate, that are directly associated with the welders’ qualification and performance. Moreover, it will study the method of qualifying welders for different levels to properly assign welders based on load and criticality to avoid high welding rejection rate. The study shows that welders’ skill is the main parameter to produce high quality welds. Focusing on the causes of common welding defects, then educate and train the welders on the main factors causing these welding defects, will leave an influence to prevent defect recurrence

Internal Corrosion in Natural Gas Pipelines

Product Number: 51323-19507-SG

Author: Christopher A. Walker

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Corrosion is defined as the degradation of a material or its properties due to a reaction with the environment and is one of the most common pipeline integrity threats for operators. External corrosion may be visually inspected during excavation; however, due to accessibility, additional non-destructive examination (NDE) methods must be utilized to identify the presence and severity of internal corrosion.

Understanding the chemistry and electrical properties of how corrosion occurs aids in mitigating the presence of corrosion, specifically internal corrosion.

Metallurgical Analysis of 30-Inch Pipe Containing an Internal Crack

Product Number: 51324-20700-SG

Author: Sudhakar Mahajanam; Chris Miller; Scott Harding; Sean Moran

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Pipeline defects are routinely found in the oil and gas industry. Most often they are minor, and do not affect the integrity and safety of the pipeline. However, in some cases, identifying and repairing critical defects is mandated to ensure long term integrity, which also entails choosing an appropriate repair technique. In this case study, we present a metallurgical examination of a 1949-vintage Grade X52 pipe containing an internal crack that was first identified at a client site. Laboratory examination confirmed that the feature was a pre-existing imperfection or defect, which had been weld repaired around the time of manufacturing or installation. Grinding marks and a distinct weld zone with three welding passes were observed in the region surrounding the crack. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) fractography of the crack surface indicated the presence of columnar grains close to the inside surface that are typical of a carbon steel weld. Energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis indicated that the corrosion products consisted of iron

Pipeline Lamination Assessment

Product Number: MECC23-20025-SG

Author: Ayman S. Janbi; Husain M. Muslim

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Laminations are manufacturing defects that result because of presence of inclusions or air during pipeline plate making. They might present a challenge in identification during ILI inspection as magnetic flux does not identify lamination because it does not have metal loss. Ultrasonic on the other hand can detect lamination, but it does not differentiate from a metal loss.
