Assessment of CBPC Coating in Wet Exposure

Product Number: 51216-004-SG

Author: Md Ahsan Sabbir, Kingsley Lau, Dale DeFord

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

The performance of a Chemically Bonded Phosphate Ceramic (CBPC) coating was investigated for marine bridge application. Assessment of possible coating degradation and corrosion development was made by physical and electrochemical techniques. Passive-like conditions developed in the chloride-free solutions and formation of oxide product occurred in the chloride solutions. A large degree of oxide product formation throughout the non-scribed coating exposure surface area, consistent with the large, measured corrosion current, was indicative that the ceramic coating had poor barrier coating properties.

Assessment Of Precorrosion Methods For Inhibitor Testing Under Sour Conditions

Product Number: 51322-17903-SG

Author: Attila Palencsár, Rolf Nyborg

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Development of new oil and gas fields is likely to involve sour reserves to an increasing degree. Sour
production often brings about difficulties in terms of asset integrity, related particularly to corrosion
mitigation. Employing corrosion resistant alloys implies a considerable escalation in investment costs. On this basis the use of carbon steel and CO2/H2S corrosion inhibition remains a highly desirable
option.

The City Public Service Board of San Antonio, Texas (CPS Energy) is the largest municipally owned gas and electric utility company in the nation. CPS Energy owns a fleet of power generation plants with a combined output of over 4,500 MW. In 2011, CPS initiated an Asset Corrosion-Protection Program for its power generating facilities to proactively protect its assets from coating degradation and premature corrosion.

Assuring Quality with Certified Coating Contractors, Applicators, and Inspectors

Product Number: 51219-187-SG

Author: Troy Fraebel

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

Those who started in the industrial painting industry back in the 1980s may remember that third-party inspectors, hired by the owner, performed all of the inspection activities and documentation. The NACE Coating Inspection Program (CIP) had just begun in the early 80s, but those getting certified did not work for a contractor. That has changed. Now contractor quality control (QC) and owner quality assurance (QA) are much more clearly defined.

Atmospheric Corrosion Detection And Management With AI

Product Number: 51322-18087-SG

Publication Date: 2022

External corrosion on offshore O&G platforms is one of the biggest threats to asset integrity and its management is a large operational expense. Many operators now implement risk-based assessment (RBA) programs where all equipment is assessed periodically with the aim to reduce operational costs while maintaining integrity. Regulatory codes for offshore platforms in the GoM require a visual inspection of all pressure equipment and piping every five-years. In practice, this can equate to approximately 20% of equipment being inspected per year on a large-sized offshore platform (i.e., a topside weight of around 10,000 tons), with a rolling five-year inspection plan to balance the inspection workload evenly through time.

Atmospheric Plasma Coating Removal For Naval Engineering And Maintenance Applications

Product Number: 51322-18170-SG

Author: Glenn Astolfi, Arthur Wood, Jeffrey Piascik, Peter Yancey, Levi Snowden, Robert Ross

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

A vessel docked for maintenance is a vessel out of service. For military forces, this significantly affects the readiness of that force, its ability to respond quickly and appropriately to a developing situation. It is for this reason that the United States Navy continues to search for and invest in innovations that improve maintenance turn-around times as well as innovations that keep vessels in service for longer periods of time. In large-scale construction and manufacturing industries such as shipbuilding and naval maintenance, coating removal is an essential but time-consuming process required for constructing and maintaining vessels and other structures.

Atmospheric Plasma: One-Step Precision Process To Remove Coating And Promote Chemical Adhesion

Product Number: 51322-18152-SG

Author: Pietro Ranieri, Levi Snowden, Jason Stimson, Peter Yancey

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

This paper details a precision process for removal of coatings and preparation of the metal surface underneath for optimal chemical adhesion without damaging the metal surface or the surface profile. A precision process is required for removal of coatings around corroded surfaces, potentially defective structures, or thin-walled ligaments where abrasive removal procedures will damage the substrate. In these cases, removing metal will worsen or cause a defect where replacement is expensive. A precision tool that can safely remove the coating, allow for inspection, and enhance adhesion for recoating is needed. This type of tool would enhance existing repair technologies and eliminate the immediate need for replacement.

Augmentation Of Iron Carbonate Corrosion Products Using Amino Acids In CO2 Corrosion Environments

Product Number: 51322-17754-SG

Author: Dilshad Shaikhah, Wassim Taleb, Bruce Cowe, Maalek Mohamed-Said, Anne Neville, Richard Barker

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Oil and gas production in a CO₂ saturated environment is known to lead to corrosion due to dissolved carbonic acid. However, when the conditions are favorable, a protective FeCO₃ layer can also form which reduces the material degradation of the underlying steel by up to ten or a hundred times.1 The formation of FeCO₃ is possible via the reaction shown in equation 1.

Avoiding Problems With Coating Wood: A Review Of Substrate Condition And Preparation, Moisture Issues And Coating Selection

Product Number: 41207-338-SG

Author: Jayson L. Helsel

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

This paper provides a review of key items to consider in coating wood. The most important considerations are ensuring a sound wood substrate surface, elimination of moisture as a problem, adequate surface preparation, and the proper choice of coatings. Coatings for wood can be categorized as film-forming or penetrating finishes. This paper expands on a recent related article published in the Journal of Architectural Coatings.

Balancing Act: Principles of Design and Formulation for Waterborne Acrylic DTM Coatings

Product Number: 51217-077-SG

Author: Leo Procopio, Laura Vielhauer

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

Achieving high performance with waterborne acrylic latex DTM coatings often requires a balancing act to be performed by both the polymer scientist designing the latex polymer and the coating scientist formulating the coating. A successful coating is defined by a set of critical properties while in the paint can, during application, and ultimately in its performance throughout its service life.
