AMPP SP21466-2024, Materials Sustainability Framework Based on Corrosion Management System

Product Number: AMPP SP21466-2024

Publication Date: 2024

$109.00

This standard aims to provide a framework for users and their respective organizations in assessing both the material sustainability and material stewardship of their operations using recognized industrial methods, resources, and practices built on the corrosion management framework. Some of these methods, resources, and practices are already covered in the corrosion management system framework; however, some are expanded upon within this standard using a material sustainability maturity model beyond the corrosion management framework. Therefore, this standard aims to empower material and corrosion professionals to better deliver value from a life cycle and circular economy standpoint while leveraging existing and emerging tools to support assets, operations, enterprises, stakeholders, and communities through the value chain.

AMPP SP21474-2023, External Corrosion Control of On-Grade Carbon Steel Storage Tank Bottoms

Product Number: AMPP SP21474-2023

Publication Date: 2023

$109.00

Sustaining long-term leak-free operation of aboveground storage tank (AST) bottoms is an extremely important goal of all AST owners and operators. Mitigation of corrosion on the external side of on-grade carbon steel tank bottoms is a principal element necessary to achieve this goal.

This standard provides a comprehensive compilation of corrosion mitigation considerations, practices, and procedures for AST bottoms. It is applicable from tank construction through long-term integrity management and maintenance processes. It presents supplements and alternatives to cathodic protection (CP). A broad section on vapor corrosion inhibitor (VCI) practices and procedures for mitigation of external tank bottom corrosion is included.

AMPP SP21481-2022, Maintenance Overcoating of Railcar Exteriors

Product Number: AMPP SP21481-2022

Publication Date: 2022

$109.00

This standard practice describes overcoating of the exteriors of railcars. The purpose of this standard practice is to provide methods for testing and application of overcoating materials for the benefit of railcar owners, lessees, and maintenance providers who are charged with developing and executing programs for the maintenance painting of railcars.

AMPP SP21484-2023, Splash Zone Site-Applied Wrap Corrosion Protection Systems

Product Number: AMPP SP21484-2023

Publication Date: 2023

$109.00

This standard is for use by those responsible for the management of marine structures. They will be able to use it to establish the minimum requirements of the Site-Applied Wrap Corrosion Protection Systems they are considering for the protection of the submerged zone and splash zone of shore based marine metallic structures, either at the pointof new construction or during refurbishment or maintenance of existing structures. This standard is not intended to provide the minimum requirements for offshore oil and gas platforms and other similar structures of the offshore oil and gas industry. This standard may be used to provide the minimum requirements for estuarine, paludal, riverine, great lake structures or similar. The Site-Applied Wrap Corrosion Protection Systems in accordance with this standard are considered suitable for further protection by means of cathodic protection.

AMPP SP21486-2023, Dry-Docking Hull Surface Maintenance and Repair Standard Practice

Product Number: AMPP SP21486-2023

Publication Date: 2023

$109.00

This document is intended to guide shipowners/operators in the planning and execution of hull preservation of their vessels while in dry-dock. The standard is not exhaustive as there are so many variables, including type of vessel, condition, expected trading pattern, location of dry-dock, and shipyard capability. This standard is not designed to be a job specification for hull preservation, but rather as an adjunct to a shipowner’s specification.

AMPP SP21487-2021, Inspecting and Reporting Biofouling and Antifouling Systems’ Condition during Underwater Inspections on Ships

Product Number: AMPP SP21487-2021

Publication Date: 2021

$109.00

Biofouling accumulation on a ship’s hull has a direct impact on fuel consumption and associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and may pose a biosecurity risk due to the presence of non-indigenous, potentially invasive aquatic species.

The antifouling system (AFS) is designed to protect the underwater surfaces from biofouling accumulation. Underwater inspections (UWI) of ships are typically carried out to monitor and verify the condition of the underwater hull and the AFS.

Recipients of UWI reports are reliant on the quality of information provided to make adequate decisions relating to hull performance, AFS condition and performance, biofouling management and associated risk assessments. Consistent and good quality reporting is key to effective underwater hull condition record-keeping and management.
