Painting Water Storage Tanks In-Service: An update

Product Number: 41207-343-SG

Author: Tony Ippoliti

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

Until a few years ago, water tanks were always drained before exterior surfaces were painted because surface moisture, if found below the water line, would lead to a coating failure. But a coating technology borrowed from the bridge and highway industry and put to a new use is bringing changes to the water tank marketplace. This presentation introduces the original project, includes the coating evaluation after 6 years, and concludes with additional tank examples.

Performance of Autonomous Aerial Robotics for Dry Film Thickness Measurement

Product Number: 51219-177-SG

Author: Jamie L. Branch

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

Aerial robotics is an emerging technology for coatings and non-destructive testing (NDT). Performing coating inspection measurements, such as dry film thickness (DFT), using aerial robotic systems improves occupational safety and reduces injuries and deaths attributed to falls. This is done by allowing measurements to be taken with the worker safely on the ground. As the industry advances towards adopting drones/aerial robots as tools for inspection practices, it is critical to evaluate the associated performance and limitations

$Practical Math for the Protective Coatings Industry$

Practical Math for the Protective Coatings Industry

Product Number: 37690-POD

ISBN: 978-1-57590-475-7

$120.00

Back in print, Practical Math for the Protective Coatings Industry is specifically geared toward individuals who have avoided math since leaving school some time ago and now have a difficult time understanding the computations involved in the protective coatings field.

It explains, for example, how to determine the wet film thickness (WFT) needed to meet a specified dry film thickness (DFT) when a paint is thinned by 10%. Those somewhat proficient in calculating quantities will find that this book offers insights into alternative approaches that will lead to a fuller understanding of mathematical relationships.

SSPC-PA 2-2022, Procedure for Determining Conformance to Dry Coating Thickness Requirements

Product Number: SSPC-PA 2-2022

Publication Date: 2022

$109.00

This standard describes a procedure for determining shop or field conformance to a specified coating dry film thickness (DFT) range on ferrous and non-ferrous metal substrates using two types of nondestructive coating thickness gages (Type 1, magnetic pull-off, and Type 2, electronic) described in ASTM D7091

SSPC-PA2: New Electronic Data Collection Solutions

Product Number: 41214-868-SG

Author: Joe Walker

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

In the spring of 2014, a new SSPC-PA21 standard is scheduled to be published. Despite the fact that this is the second major revision in as many years, new technologies and techniques have been introduced since the 2014 standard was revised and sent to ballot. Some examples include a factory-calibrated coating thickness gauge with pre-defined surface profiles, as well as a scanning probe designed to be slid across a cured coating while taking readings in real time. When these new technologies are put into practice, dramatic improvements in overall inspection times and data accuracy can be seen.

Statistical and Technical Evaluation of Rapid Dry Film Thickness (DFT) Measurement Technologies

Product Number: 51218-136-SG

Author: Jeff O'Dell

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

Dry film thickness (DFT) is an important parameter of coating application, and both low and high DFTs can result in coating failures. Typically, DFTs are measured in accordance with SSPC-PA 2, “Procedure for Determining Conformance to Dry Coating Thickness Requirements” (1), or other similar standards. Recent advancements in technology have resulted in DFT probes capable of achieving a higher rate of DFT data collection than previous devices.

The Next Generation of High Build Alphatic Moisture Cure Coatings

Product Number: 41210-561-SG

Author: Ahren Olson

Publication Date: 2010

$20.00

The next generation of aliphatic moisture cure urethane (MCU) topcoats has been developed through new resin development and advancements in MCU formulation knowledge. These new MCU coatings drastically improve upon current commercial aliphatic MCU topcoats, which are typically applied between 2-3 mils DFT.

The Problem with Meeting Dry Film Thickness Specifications

Product Number: 41215-892-SG

Author: R Kattan, JF Fletcher

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Over recent years there have been interesting developments in the way marine coatings and linings are specified that have unwittingly resulted in a situation that can make it challenging to meet a paint specification as currently written.

Time, Money and Tank Linings

Product Number: 41215-882-SG

Author: Miles Buckhurst

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

What is the cost of Tank Linings? Are we able to answer this properly, do we take into account all the factors, and do we see the main cost driver? It is a well known fact that time is money, and if we take into account the cost of being out of service or a delay in beginning operations then the cost of time is far greater than individual costs of producing equipment and coating them.

Updating ASTM D7091 Standard Practice for Coating Thickness Measurement

Product Number: 51218-088-SG

Author: David Barnes, JF Fletcher

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

The five-year review of D7091, Standard Practice for Non-destructive Measurement of Dry Film Thickness of Nonmagnetic Coatings Applied to Ferrous Metals and Nonmagnetic, Nonconductive Coatings Applied to Non-Ferrous Metals is due to be completed by the end of 2018. The main update to this standard practice is the addition of the concept of scanning probes. Scanning probes are configured to take reading continuously at a rate of more than two reading a second while the probe is in contact with the coating.
