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.

Use of accelerated weathering testing to reduce risk for new topcoat standards and specifications

Product Number: 51218-168-SG

Author: Kurt Wood

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

Numerous industry studies have shown a lack of correlation between outdoor weathering performance in Florida, and performance in common accelerated weathering tests-- particularly when multiple types of resins are being compared. No single accelerated weathering test exists that can predict the outdoor performance for every type of resin in every color.

Use of Atlas Test Cells to Assess the Performance of Coatings with Varied Permeance over Concrete Masonry Units (CMU)

Product Number: 41212-695-SG

Author: Cindy O’Malley, Chuck Duffin, Steve Revnew

Publication Date: 2012

$20.00

The permeance of coatings applied to the walls of Single Wythe concrete masonry units (CMU) can affect the long-term performance of the coating system, especially after multiple repaints. This paper describes the results of a study to determine if the Atlas Cell Test (NACE TM0174/ASTM C868) can be modified to evaluate the performance of individual coating systems based upon permeance.

Use of Pre-Construction Primers in Marine Construction

Product Number: 41215-876-SG

Author: J. Peter Ault

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Pre-construction primers (also known as shop primers or pre-fabrication primers) are very thin films applied to blast cleaned steel plates and shapes to provide preservation of the blasted steel during the shipbuilding or construction process. SSPC is developing an industry guide document containing information regarding the use of pre-construction primers (PCP) on structural steel in shipbuilding.

Use of Waterjetting in Conservation of Historic Structures

Product Number: 41205-205-SG

Author: Joseph Sembrat, Lydia Frenzel

Publication Date: 2005

$20.00

Water, steam, and waterjetting have long been used in the conservation of historic artifacts and structures such as the R.M.S. Titanic and the Saturn V Rocket at Johnson Space Center. Integral to the conservation is the removal of loose material, reduction in salts and corrosion, retention of coatings and desirable patina, and repair of damaged areas.

USING A CLIMATE CONTROLLED APPLICATION CHAMBER TO UNDERSTAND COATING DYNAMICS

Product Number: 51218-101-SG

Author: Douglas Corrigan, Chris Lucy, Edye Fox Abrams

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

Application and curing dynamics of paints are rarely quantified over a wide range of varying climactic conditions; yet this information is critical to the final performance of the coating. There is a growing need among raw material suppliers, formulators, and applicators to better understand the performance of products under the extreme humidity and temperature conditions experienced during application.

Using Climate Control at the Job Site; It’s Just Good Business

Product Number: 41207-311-SG

Author: Russ Brown

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

The use of temporary climate control on a steel tank re-line has now become a regular practice within the coatings industry to help one avoid unplanned delays or issues on a project. This paper will discuss the issue from three perspectives: the coatings contractor, the tank owner and the inspector. It will explore the concept of using a temporary climate control systems on a tank re-line project in general, review how each segment would benefit from utilizing such a system and finally discuss the overall impact that a temporary climate control system will have on their projects.

Using Dehumidification to Dry a Concrete Slab Prior to Coating

Product Number: 41206-222-SG

Author: Russ Brown

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

Moisture is a key component of concrete. It is critical to the curing and strengthening process of the product. It is however the use or misuse of this critical component that may cause expensive and unavoidable problems over the life of the floor

Using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy to Evaluate Corrosion Behavior of Painted Galvanized Steel in Atmospheric and Soil Exposure

Product Number: 41206-295-SG

Author: Mehrooz Zamanzadeh, George T. Bayer, Gordon Kirkwood

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

A review of galvanized steel and painted galvanized steel processes is provided, as well as the fundamentals and requirements for painted galvanized steel products. The corrosion processes found with both galvanized steel and painted galvanized steels are discussed.

Using Forensic Science to Determine Causes of Failures of Polymeric Coatings

Product Number: 41215-875-SG

Author: Jon Asselanis

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Often when a polymeric flooring system fails, the cause of the problem is unknown. Forensic testing is used to determine the cause of failure while eliminating other potential causes. A basic understanding of the approach to a forensic investigation and the types of testing used will help aid in correcting the problem so future failures and project costs are reduced.

Using Lead Abatement Contractors for Surface Preparation on Commercial Properties - The Consequences of Sacrificing Quality for Safety

Product Number: 51216-012-SG

Author: Raymond S. Tombaugh

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

The Federal EPA requires that commercial/residential painting contractors be certified to prepare surfaces containing lead based paint on residential and public structures. As a result, when respirators equipped with HEPA filtration are required to be worn to reduce worker exposure levels to below the permissible exposure limit for lead, the surface preparation work is often subcontracted to a licensed lead abate contractor who holds these types of certifications.
