Advances In Digital Twin And AI To Predict And Manage External Corrosion - A Smart Tool For Decision Makers

Product Number: 51322-17992-SG

Author: Otavio Correa, Jorge Seleme Mariano

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

The Brazilian cost of corrosion was estimated at 3% of the GPD in 2018, that percentage is equivalent to approximately $US 49 billion, according to an ABRACO¹ journal released in 2020¹. It is estimated that from this cost $US 19 billion could have been saved through anticorrosive actions. In another research conducted by the EPRI² the results showed that at least 22% of corrosion costs could be avoided through adequate mitigating actions².

Advances in Fluoropolymer Resins for Long Life Coatings

Product Number: 41210-532-SG

Author: Winn Darden, Bob Parker

Publication Date: 2010

$20.00

Fluoroethylene vinyl ether (FEVE) resins were developed to overcome some of the problems associated with the use of fluoropolymers in coatings. These resins, which yield topcoats with lifetimes exceeding 60 years, can be cured at ambient temperatures for field applications, or at elevated temperatures in the shop. New FEVE resins have been developed to enable formulators to meet air quality regulations while still producing coatings with excellent durability.

Advances in Fluoropolymer Resins for Long-Life Coatings

Product Number: 41206-230-SG

Author: Winn Darden

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

Fluoroethylene-vinyl ether (FEVE) resins were developed in the early 1980’s. These thermoset solution fluoropolymer resins are used to make highly durable, weatherable, and corrosion resistant air-dry coatings. Applications are found in architectural, industrial, automotive, and aerospace markets, and in infrastructure coatings for bridges, oil rigs, and water towers.

Advances in Mechanical Surface Preparation

Product Number: 41212-663-SG

Author: Kumar Balan

Publication Date: 2012

$20.00

The coatings industry is very familiar with shot/grit blasting as a mechanical means of surface preparation. Over the years, operators have worked with manual and automatic blast equipment with its associated dust collection arrangements. The industry is highly competitive, and control on operating costs is critical. Therefore, coaters are always on the lookout for ways to tune their process by lowering costs and increasing productivity.

Aerogel Additives for Next Generation of Water Borne Insulative Coatings

Product Number: 41212-671-SG

Author: Dhaval Doshi, Catherine Norwood, James Pidhurney

Publication Date: 2012

$20.00

Insulative coatings are prompting significant interest with increasing environmental and safety awareness and sensitivity to energy efficiency. Aerogels are the best thermal insulators in the world. Cabot’s aerogel has a thermal conductivity of 12mW/m-K (compared to still air or PU foam at 26mW/m-K) and is currently being used extensively in day lighting and oil & gas applications.

Aesthetic Issues With Spray-Applied Fluoropolymer Coating System

Product Number: 51322-17971-SG

Author: Kimberly Steiner

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

A building, partially clad in fluoropolymer coated aluminum panels, was observed to have an aesthetically unacceptable appearance while still under construction. Once installed on the building, many of the panels exhibited a vertical streaked appearance under certain conditions. When the panels were at ground level, or when the sun was bright, the streaky appearance was not noticeable. However, in conditions of low light, such as during early morning, dusk, or on cloudy days the streaky appearance was reported to become apparent. A visual mock-up, consisting of multiple coated panels that had been approved by the architect as a guide to the anticipated appearance were also present on-site as a reference. This visual mock-up was used as a reference for acceptable appearance of the coated panels.

In recent decade, the applications of DSS have significantly increased in oil & gas industry, due to their attractive properties compared to austenitic grades with similar corrosion resistance. The DSS products exhibit a better resistance to pitting, stress corrosion cracking and higher mechanical properties compared to other austenitic stainless steel grades. The microstructure of these materials consists of approximately 50% austenite (γ) and 50% ferrite (α) phases, obtained by means of a solution heat treatment.

Air Barrier Testing of Concrete Masonry Assemblies and the Effect of Surface Coatings on Air Permanence

Product Number: 41212-685-SG

Author: Nicholas Lang, Jason Thompson

Publication Date: 2012

$20.00

Model building codes and standards have begun adopting new energy efficiency requirements for building envelopes, including more quantifiable assessment of the air permeance characteristics of the materials and assemblies used in the building envelope. This research effort was initiated to understand and quantify the air leakage mechanisms of single wythe concrete masonry construction, which is commonly used in exterior building envelopes.
