Laboratory And Full-Scale Qualification Of An Abrasion Resistant Overcoat Wrap

As onshore pipeline rights-of-way become more congested and urban sprawl increases, the number of horizontal directional drills (HDDs) will likely increase. HDD is a trenchless pipeline installation method that requires drilling a larger pilot hole where the mainline pipe can be subsequently pulled through the drilled hole. However, HDDs have an increased probability for coating damage, even when coated with traditional mill or field applied abrasion resistant overcoat (ARO). This coating damage includes abrasion, impact, gouging, denting, tearing, bending, etc. and that damage may exist for the life of the pipeline due to an HDD being inaccessible for future maintenance.

At present, with the increasing in demand for natural gas, all gas production companies are increasing their efforts in natural gas exploration and development. Corrosion is one of the problems during the wet gas transporting, and this can be solved by adding corrosion inhibitor(CI) in most case. However, there are no standards for the Cis performance used in gas gathering and transportation pipelines, which may lead to some gapsbetweentheR&Dscientistsandtheneedsofcorrosioninhibitorusers. Based on the demand of some gas production companies for the CIs, this paper puts forward the performance requirements and corresponding indexes of Cis for natural gas gathering and transportation system, and given some advice on the evaluation method.

Laboratory Evaluation of Metalized Coatings for Use on Reclamation Infrastructure

Product Number: 41213-788-SG

Author: David Tordonato, Allen Skaja

Publication Date: 2013

$20.00

Metalizing is not a new technology. It has been in use since the 1930s. Although it has seen limited use in comparison with conventional coatings, this is primarily due to economics. In past years, application rates for metalized coatings have been slow, making the process an expensive alternative to conventional coatings.

Laboratory Investigations into the Edge Protection of Organic Coatings

Product Number: 41210-555-SG

Author: Sascha Buchbach, Andreas W. Momber

Publication Date: 2010

$20.00

The presentation reports about a nationally funded 3-year R&D project on the effects of edge geometry and coating type on the corrosion protection performance of organic coatings on edges with particular attention to ballast water tank applications. Core of the presentation is the description of the testing scenarios, the introduction of three assessment methods, and the discussion of the results. Testing methods included the long-term testing of samples in a specially designed IMO chamber, the utilization of electric impedance spectroscopy and DFT measurements on polished cross sections of coated edges.

Laboratory Testing of Candidate Coating Systems for Protecting A 490 Bolts in One World Trade Center Construction

Product Number: 41210-529-SG

Author: John Bullard, William D. Corbett

Publication Date: 2010

$20.00

The construction of the new One World Trade Center (WTC) in New York includes exposed steel members and bolted splice plates. Accordingly, surface preparation and coating system selection for the bolt/washer/nut assemblies for the bolted connections was critical, since the splice plates would be visible. There was little published information on surface preparation and coating requirements for ASTM A 490 black bolts.

Laboratory Testing To Investigate If Coated Pipelines Are Safe For Transportation Of Hydrogen Gas

Governments and energy companies are increasingly looking at hydrogen as an alternative to fossil fuels, and it is considered that without hydrogen the world cannot aim to be a net zero carbon economy by 2050. Consequently, hydrogen is currently enjoying unprecedented political and business momentum, with the number of policies and projects around the world expanding rapidly. Combustion of hydrogen does not produce greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane, particulates, sulfur oxides or ground level ozone. Thus, hydrogen offers ways to decarbonize a range of sectors, as well as help improve air quality and strengthen energy security.

Ladder Safety - Protecting Workers from a Complex Hazard

Product Number: 51217-051-SG

Author: Stanford T. Liang

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

It is well known that fall hazards are one of the most common causes of accidents, injuries and death in the workplace including industrial painting projects. Many of these falls occur when using ladders. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, for example, in 2009 20% of fatal falls in all workplaces were from ladders. OSHA estimates that there are 24,882 injures, with nearly half of those injuries serious enough to result in lost work time, and 36 fatalities every year.

Laser Cleaning For Surface Preparation For Pre-Weld And Pre-Bonding Applications

Product Number: 51322-18182-SG

Author: Tyler O’Neill

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Laser cleaning has been an effective tool in manufacturing and industrial applications for over 20 years. Cleaning, as well as cutting and welding, has shown vast improvements in repeatability and precision with the use of laser technology [4]. Previous bonding techniques such as mechanical fixturing and welding can be inconsistent and cause issues like increased structural weight, decreased structural integrity, galvanic corrosion, and many more potential failures [5]. Laser cleaning may propose a viable option for adhering materials to reduce weight and increase repeatability. Welding practices continue to develop to reduce both weld thickness and porosity. Porosity in welds is typically caused from failure to prepare the surface adequately [1]. Failures in both welding applications and adhesive bonding applications can be reduced with the use of laser technology.

Laying the Foundation for an Engineered and Integrated Approach to Pipeline External Corrosion Protection

Product Number: 51322-17962-SG

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Enbridge is proposing to develop a program that utilizes state-of-the-art technologies and proven inspection methods to prescribe interventions related to external corrosion mitigation using a predictive, integrated approach. This new program embraces complex problems by collecting, analyzing, and integrating environmental, pipeline integrity, and corrosion control data to predict external corrosion risk with sound engineering models (mechanistic, reliability and risk) to anticipate, prevent, and contain unexpected events.
