Failure Investigation: Field Sampling and Communication to Maximize the Effectiveness of Laboratory Analysis

Product Number: 41214-825-SG
Author: Rick Huntley, Cindy O’Malley
Publication Date: 2014
$20.00

An accurate and comprehensive coating failure analysis often hinges not only on the quality of the field investigation and the laboratory analysis but also on effective communication between the field analyst and the forensic laboratory. Several steps can be taken during a field investigation to ensure that samples of coating removed for laboratory analysis fairly represent the condition of the coatings and give the forensic laboratory the best possible chance of discovering the root cause of the coating failure.

This paper discusses a classic example where the facts surrounding the failure of a lining system were ignored and undue reliance was placed on laboratory analysis. This “blind faith” in analytical data without a sound causal theory caused the failure analysts to disregard or overlook the obvious.
