In oil and gas industries the material surface of pipelines, tools, and equipment is exposed to many harsh operational conditions- one of which is the repetitive impingement of contaminated solid particles when encountering a mixture of gas and sand or liquid solids-laden slurries. In addition to maintenance and material expenses, mass loss of materials due to erosion results in unstable production rates. Hence, predicting the erosion provides the ability to optimize the design and qualify it for operation in an erosive environment for the required operational life.

The erosion resistance of five types of tungsten carbides (with various material hardness) and stainless steel 316 (SS316) were experimentally investigated in sand-air flows. The primary purpose of this work was to evaluate the effect of materials' surface hardness on the erosion resistivity of different samples at various impact angles and velocities. A gas-sand loop consisting of a compressor, sand feeder, nozzle, and pressure regulator was developed to create gas flows contaminated with solid particles. Before performing the erosion experiments, the average sand particle velocity was calibrated with the gas velocity using the Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique. Six particle impact angles (15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, and 90°) and velocities (10, 20,30, 45, 50, and 60 m/s) were chosen to perform the study. Two-average sand sizes of 75 and 150 μm were considered, with a total mass of impacting particles ranging between 900 -2700 g. To ensure the repeatability of the results, experiments were at least repeated twice for each testing condition. Mass loss of studied materials had indicated that the increase in surface hardness significantly improves erosion resistivity.

"Mold And Mildew Investigation and Testing of Navy Interior Coatings"

Product Number: 51323-18804-SG
Author: Patrick Cassidy, Jason Lee, Charles White, Michael Kibler
Publication Date: 2023

Mold and mildew growth within Navy ships is a significant issue across the fleet. To investigate this issue the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) and the Strategic Environmental
Research and Development Program (SERDP) funded an investigation into the prevalence of mold in the fleet, with the end goal of developing solutions to remediate and prevent future mold growth. Thus
far, mold and coating data was collected from 26 ships across 6 geographic locations. These mold samples have been analyzed to determine the most common species and highlight those that are toxigenic.

(Testing) Importance and Correlation of Accelerated Weathering Versus 10 years of South Florida Exposure

Product Number: 03-COAT_DEC21

The Paint and Coatings industry uses accelerated testing to extrapolate performance in real world situations and ensure coating formulations will withstand the forces of nature and provide long-term durability. This paper will compare the performance data of the three most common accelerated exposure test methods: QUV-A (ASTM D 4587), Xenon Arc (ASTM D 6695), and EMMAQUA (ASTM D 4141) and correlate this data to the same systems exposed for 10 years in South Florida and in North Kansas City, Missouri.

(Insulation & Corrosion) Insulative Coatings - Fit for Purpose

Product Number: 17-COAT_DEC21
Author: Arin Shahmoradian
Publication Date: 2021
$20.00

Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) is a very serious problem impacting the oil and gas, petrochemical, power and heavy industries. Due to the high costs associated with CUI, many industries have begun abandoning conventional jacket insulation. Recent advancements in trade association standards have helped engineers select, apply and inspect different types of insulative coatings in lieu of conventional jacket insulation.
