Tralopyril Antifouling Agent

Product Number: 41213-753-SG

Author: David Hunter

Publication Date: 2013

$20.00

Tralopyril was developed as a marine antifouling agent for use in antifouling coatings. The compound has been registered with the US EPA since 2007. Since then, a range of marine coatings have been developed utilizing tralopyril for control of barnacles and other invertebrate animal fouling organisms, frequently, but not exclusively, in combination with a soft fouling control agent.

Translational Corrosion Science

Product Number: 41216-959-SG

Author: D. Dunmire, G. Keller

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Translational Corrosion Science, the subject of the SSPC 2015 presentation by the Department of Defense Corrosion (DoD) Prevention and Control Program, is a science-based process to accelerate the development and application of high-quality solutions to difficult material degradation problems, and to do so more economically. DoD has launched the translational corrosion science program, assisted by the National Defense University and Potomac Institute for Policy Studies, to fully develop the process concept and to implement the approach.

Translational Corrosion Science

Product Number: 41215-888-SG

Author: D. Dunmire, G. Keller

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Translational science itself is not a new scientific process. Since investigative science experiments were established and results measured, basic and applied science has been translated into useful applications. However, science has not always been investigative or effectively translated into useful applications. And when it has, the translation often consumed a significant amount of time and faced considerable implementation obstacles.

Transmission Tower and Pole Painting - A Challenge for All Involved

Product Number: 51217-047-SG

Author: Matthew McCane, Curt Hickcox

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

Transmission Tower and Pole Painting can be a challenge for the owner, their inspection staff, and the contractor. Transmission Structure painting also requires a specialized skill set which leads to worker safety, protection of owner’s equipment, surface preparation options, material selection, quality control / quality assurance documentation and the cost effectiveness of the project.

Trends in Tank Lining Test Methodology for Oil and Gas Service

Product Number: 41216-972-SG

Author: Michael Harrison, James McDonald

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Changing conditions in the Oil and Gas industry are yielding greater corrosion protection challenges to the owners and operators of refineries, terminals, pipelines, railcars etc. Internal lining schemes which have traditionally been used for the storage and transport of crude oil and refined fuels may no longer be appropriate. The aggressive nature of crude oil (higher temperatures and more sour nature), high purity refined products and the increased use of biofuels globally necessitate the demand for better linings and more certain test results.

Trials and Tribulations with Finding the Optimal Lining Material

Product Number: 51219-218-SG

Author: Stephanie Prochaska, Allen Skaja

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

Historically, the Bureau of Reclamation observed coating service lives of 50 to 80 years when lining its water conveyance structures with coal tar enamel. Changes to regulations have largely eliminated coal tar enamel as a field coating option, and existing coal tar enamel is beginning to show signs of degradation or has already been repaired or recoated. Reclamation has been working to find an appropriate alternative to coal tar enamel.

Triangle of Trust Client Driven Specifications for Wastewater Facilities

Product Number: 41214-874-SG

Author: Joe Cesarek, Dan Zienty

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

Through the course of any project, communication is the key element for success. In the coatings industry, a lack of communication by project stakeholders can show up in a very short time following project completion. This can be in the form of premature failures, shorter equipment service life, etc. We have found that this gap in communication often exists on the planning and implementation side of wastewater treatment projects. As professionals we have a tendency to hear, but not listen.

Troweled Cementitious Urethane Floor Systems

Product Number: 41205-180-SG

Author: Alex Lowery

Publication Date: 2005

$20.00

This paper will focus on polymeric cementitious urethane floor systems that are applied in very harsh and demanding environments. We will outline the history, advantages and disadvantages of these systems, as well as some of the applications for which these systems are best suited. Finally, we will discuss how these systems are applied.

True Value of Quality: A Case History of a Success Story

Product Number: 41206-243-SG

Author: Benjamin S. Fultz

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

A case study of how poor initial quality control resulted in a complete coatings rework of the underwater bottom (exterior hull) of a large Floating Storage Unit (FSU) and how a good quality control program, during rework, resulted in the documented long term performance of the second application underwater hull coating system.

Truth or Marketing? Hocus Pocus or Real Information? How are You Selecting Products for Your Projects?

Product Number: 51220-248-SG

Author: Murray Heywood

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

A common frustration in our industry is the project submittal process. Engineers, Consultants, owners and manufactures are frustrated by the process. How do you really know what products are right for your project? Data from recent studies show that projects where two or more manufacturers’ products are specified, results in overall project savings of 23% or more. This demands a closer look at the selection and specification process.

Tungsten Carbide High Velocity Thermal Spray Coatings in the Oil & Gas Industry

Product Number: 51216-006-SG

Author: Herman E. Amaya, Lee Schmerling

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

This paper will explore several variables which affect the tungsten carbide coating material deposited by a high velocity thermal spray process (HVTS) on Oil & Gas components such as valve sealing components (gate, ball, seat) and on other equipment (pistons for example on BOP’s or Blow Out Preventers). The purpose of coating these components is to gain wear/abrasion resistance as well as to impart some corrosion resistance.
