Accuracy and Linearity of Sling and Digital Psychrometers

Accuracy and Linearity of Sling and Digital Psychrometers

Ambient conditions can be critical to the success or failure of a coatings project. It has generally been assumed by the industry that a sling psychrometer is more accurate in determining Relative Humidity and Dew Point than electronic sensors.

Ambient conditions can be critical to the success or failure of a coatings project. It has generally been assumed by the industry that a sling psychrometer is more accurate in determining Relative Humidity and Dew Point than electronic sensors. While this may be true for meteorological sling psychrometers that meet the criteria of ASTM E337 “Measuring Humidity with a Psychrometer (the measurement of Wet- and DryBulb Temperatures)”, the sling psychrometers in use in most coating applications appear to lose accuracy as temperatures increase above 80F. In the 80F range and above, electronic sensors appear to provide much more consistent data. When “red spirit” thermometers are slung in these temperature ranges, the dry bulb temperature may vary by ± 10F or more from the reading observed prior to slinging it.

ADHESION TESTING How much is sufficient?

Product Number: 51218-161-SG
Author: Dr. Daniel Totev
Publication Date: 2018

Pull-off adhesion testing of coatings is commonly used for product testing and qualification as well as quality control / quality assurance. However, initial adhesion values do not necessarily correlate with service life of coatings or their corrosion protection performance. Adhesion of several product chemistries to steel is examined in this study before and after immersion exposure. Results are presented within the context of laboratory corrosion testing in an effort to investigate the significance of adhesion testing in modern lining systems.

Currently, Ships’ Force (SF) conduct maintenance and repair painting during pier-side periods as well as while ships are underway. SF commonly use epoxy primers, such as MIL-DTL-24441, Type IV, for maintenance painting and in some cases, chloride contamination and surface profile is not adequately controlled. The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) conducted a study to verify the efficacy of replacing the current epoxy primers commonly used by SF with more “user friendly” high-build, high-solid primers.

(Inspection) What Do You Really Need to Know to be a Good Coatings Inspector?

Product Number: 60-COAT_DEC21
Author: William D. Corbett
Publication Date: 2021
$20.00

The role of a Coating Inspector has evolved considerably over the past few decades, and the responsibilities have increased over what used to be a rather straightforward job: to verify that surface preparation and coating application meet the project specification requirements. Today there are week-long or multi-week basic and advanced coating inspection courses, specialty courses that are industry-specific (e.g., bridge, nuclear), courses that are substrate-specific (e.g., concrete coatings inspection) and even coating-specific (e.g., inspection of thermal spray coatings).
