04004 Testing of Offshore Systems - Is There a Realistic Testing Scenario or is There Still Work to be done?

Available for download

Much progress has been made in testing of offshore paint systems in the past 10 years. But more work is needed to understand what is happening and give us the confidence to correlate the laboratory accelerated test to the field service life of offshore coating systems. The new NACE Standards are a move in the right direction.

Although in the 1980's a number of oil companies requested prequalification testing (primarily in the USA), many did not but relied solely on advice from paint companies. Eventually NACE produced TM 0184 but complexity of test equipment meant little take up. However, premature breakdown and systems failures have led to a major resurgence in activity in both Oil Companies and paint suppliers over the past 10 years, so that there now exists around the world a whole series of various testing scenarios.

This paper will review these tests, covering ISO 20340 along with others, and consider how the recently published NACE Offshore Coating Test Methods could become a 'Universal' standard by further developing the duplex testing theme of corrosion testing and film stability/stress (cracking) testing.

 Key Words: Offshore coatings, Test methods, Film stability

04022 Experiences on Thermal Spray Aluminum (TSA) Coating for Offshore Structures

Product Number: 51300-04022-SG

Since 1982, there has been a move to Thermal Sprayed Aluminum (TSA) coating in the “splash zone” of offshore structures.  Our experience indicates that an experience applicator, good surface preparation and quality of wire combined to achieve required thickness and apply the sealer to seal the entire surface.

02288 EVALUATION OF INHIBITOR PERFORMANCE FOR PROTECTION AGAINST LOCALIZED CORROSION

Product Number: 51300-02288-SG
ISBN: 02288 2002 CP
Author: J. Marsh, J. W. Palmer and R. C. Newman
Publication Date: 2002
$20.00

 A novel evaluation technique, based on an artificial pit electrode, has been developed for inhibitor studies. The first example is of three generic inhibitors, against localised corrosion. The second is of three industrial inhibitors against existing localised corrosion on a north sea production platform
