(Insulation & Corrosion) Surface Decontamination Significantly Reduces Vulnerability to CUI

Product Number: 20-COAT_DEC21

Author: Loren L. Hatle

Publication Date: 2021

$20.00

CUI (corrosion under insulation) is a pervasive, difficult and high-liability issue for petrochemical, power, shipping, and other industries. Situational variations (meteorological, geographical, seasonal, etc.) can confound conventionally specified surface preparation attempts to achieve perfect or near-perfect metal hygiene, thus reducing expected coating life by 30 to 75 percent. Because conventional surface preparation processes have historically been unable to adequately relieve microcontamination of metal surfaces, organizations have settled for an uneasy balance between economic and physical feasibilities that exclude the possibility of achieving ideal surface preparation outcomes and rely more heavily upon barrier coatings to supply needed corrosion control.

(Pipeline, Oil & Gas) Advantages of a True 100% Epoxy, Pipeline Coating in Cold Weather vs. The Comm

Product Number: 22-COAT_DEC21

Author: Nicholas Barnett

Publication Date: 2021

$20.00

Coating systems are critical in the mitigation of corrosion on pipelines and their integrated parts.
Epoxies offer a multitude of positive characteristics including: high adhesion at a chemical level,
excellent abrasion resistance, and reduced water permeation rates when compared to vinyl
esters. A newly engineered cold weather epoxy (“Epoxy-20F”) improves upon these epoxy
characteristics and exceeds that of vinyl esters.

(Pipeline, Oil & Gas) Creating and Applying a Single Coat Nano Non-Skid Deck Epoxy

Product Number: 32-COAT_DEC21

Author: Joe Davis

Publication Date: 2021

$20.00

The Offshore Oil and Gas environment is among the most corrosive in the world. It is also one of the most
dangerous. Providing safe working surfaces is a requirement of the Bureau of Safety and Environmental
Enforcement (BSEE) and is desired by asset owners and contractors alike. Balancing safety with production,
downtime, and turn-around times is always a battle, but one coating manufacturer seems to have solved
these issues through its development of a single coat zinc carbon nanotube (CNT) non-skid epoxy deck coat
that provides galvanic protection via the sacrificial metal’s electron transfer along the CNT quantum network.

(Surface Prep) Don’t Let Your Eyes Deceive You

Product Number: 67-COAT_DEC21

Author: Kenneth E. Rossy / Alexander J. Petkas,

Publication Date: 2021

$20.00

A steel surface has been properly prepared to a white metal blast and it looks great … to the naked eye at least. But is it? Why is a surface that has the correct profile and appears to be perfectly clean typically not good enough? A standard abrasive blast will give you the profile and visible cleanliness, but how clean is it? Testing is the only way to determine. That is testing for conductivity, chlorides, and any other contaminants.

(Surface Prep) National Shipbuilding Research Program Surface Preparation and Coatings Panel SSPC 2

Product Number: 48-COAT_DEC21

Author: Arcino “Q” Quiero, Jr.

Publication Date: 2021

$20.00

This summary is a look at implementable work and a gage of the value of future work. The strategic implementation of Surface Preparation and Coatings Automation, Standardization and Digitization of Visual Inspection, and Surface Preparation and Coatings Training Certification Program could provide cost and schedule savings. Optimizing Power Tool Surface Preparation potentially will increase Shipbuilders safety, while reducing material and labor costs.

(Surface Prep) Power Tool Surface Preparation in Shipyards

Product Number: 64-COAT_DEC21

Author: Eric Shoyer

Publication Date: 2021

$20.00

Power tool cleaning has been a common method of surface preparation prior to coating application since the dawn of steel shipbuilding. Power tools are usually handheld pneumatic, or sometimes electric, devices that through impacting or abrasive action can remove coating and corrosion. Most commonly power tool cleaning has been used for re-work or coating repair associated with outfitting. Typically, power tools are limited to the touch up or repair of small areas or areas that cannot be accessed by bulkier equipment such as abrasive blasters.

(Tanks) Advantages of Using 100% Solids Epoxy as Potable Water Linings

Product Number: 72-COAT_DEC21

Author: Eric Zimmerman

Publication Date: 2021

$20.00

The coatings landscape is changing dramatically with more stringent VOC laws and extractables standards for drinking water, the products owners can rely on for lining their storage vessels is shifting. The author will discuss the advantages of using high film build, edge retentive 100% solids epoxy technology for steel potable water storage tanks.

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

Product Number: 03-COAT_DEC21

Author: Alaina Rickard / Remi Briand / Laura Burton

Publication Date: 2021

$20.00

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.

(Testing) In Line 3D Characterization of Substrates Through Final Coat

Product Number: 01-COAT_DEC21

Author: Erik Novak / Daniel Greene

Publication Date: 2021

$20.00

A variety of systems can characterize the properties of final painted surfaces in production to optimize appearance. In order to properly control and improve the coating process, rapid, large-area 3D measurement capability is needed that can work at all stages, from initial raw substrates to the final clear coat. Recent research has identified the key spatial wavelengths of interest and worked to correlate various calculations of surface texture with subjective appearance of the coated surfaces.

“Case Study On Caisson & Piston Cylinder Protection Failure”

Product Number: 51323-19340-SG

Author: Prantosh Naha, Nadeem J. Sait, Salim Y. M, Vaseem J. Sait

Publication Date: 2023

This case has been selected because we see this industry doesn’t get much attention and there are several cases came to our attention in the recent past. The corrosion protection of caisson was designed using painting only and no CP system was considered. The location is adjacent to the sea and water table is about 5-6 meters.

Asset owners spend significant monies each year on the construction of new and the maintenance of existing infrastructure. More than ever, these funds can be difficult to procure and budget. The owners include, both municipal and industrial entities and funds are limited in most cases, therefore, asset service life is very important to all parties.

“Effect of Material's Surface Hardness on Solid Particle Erosion Resistance of Tungsten Carbides and Stainless Steel 316 in Sand-Air Flows”

Product Number: 51323-19212-SG

Author: Alanazi, K.; Bilal, F.; Chochua, G.; Karimi, S.

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

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.
