IOW Analysis With Installed UT Sensors: How Process Changes Impact Corrosion Rates

Product Number: 51322-17611-SG

Publication Date: 2022

Many asset owners struggle to identify the root cause of fluctuating corrosion rates due to unreliable inspection data. Facilities worldwide are tasked with monitoring thousands of Condition Monitoring Locations (CMLs) with established NDE techniques such as manual ultrasonic testing and radiography. While these techniques can provide valuable “snapshots” of the condition of particular locations, limitations and inherent errors can compound leading to ill-advised decision making. Manually taken thickness data can vary greatly and result in unwarranted complacency or excessive and costly inspections.

Is the Heat and Pressure of Formulating Coatings for the Oil and Gas Market Getting to You?

Product Number: 41215-925-SG

Author: Andrew Recker

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Many protective coatings markets have recently seen high demand for higher performing coatings or linings. For example, with enhanced oil recovery, many more assets are now used throughout these processes from the oil / water separation tanks to the acid injectors. The temperatures are higher and corrosive environments are more severe. Formulation chemists are working hard at trying to push the extent of the performance of typical resin systems, but it seems that most of the development has been done and the extent of the performance available has been maximized.

Is Your CIS Data Accurate?

Product Number: 51322-17809-SG

Author: Jay Warner, Randy Hilgart

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Electrical potential surveys are typically required to be completed on a periodic basis on cathodically protected structures such as underground pipelines. However, proving that a cathodic protection system is providing the degree of corrosion protection required can often be a time-consuming and error prone endeavor. It is a typical practice, and often required, to interrupt the CP source(s) to carry out these surveys, the accuracy of which is affected by several factors, including the presence and inherent function of DC decouplers.

Is Your Waterborne 2K Epoxy Formulation Giving You a Headache? Here is the Cure!

Product Number: 41214-854-SG

Author: Michaela Zirngast, Gerald Hobisch, Florian Lunzer

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

A new system for waterborne 2K epoxies has been developed that presents a measurable value proposition. Performance testing results are presented that demonstrate the key features of coatings prepared with the new amine hardener and two different epoxy dispersions. The hardener is ultra-low-VOC and contains no free amines (no need for hazard labeling).

Isocyanate Free Polyurthane Coatings for Industrial Metal Applications

Product Number: 41215-921-SG

Author: Paul Popa, John Argyropoulos, Yanxiang Li, Nahrain Kamber, Jeff Anderson

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Two component polyurethane coatings are used in a variety of applications including industrial maintenance. These coating systems were introduced in the 1970’s primarily as topcoats; characterized by their excellent weatherability, toughness, and chemical and stain resistance. When formulated as ambient cured systems, traditional two component polyurethanes typically sacrifice cure time for pot life unless plural component application equipment is employed.

Laboratory Evaluation Of Corrosion Inhibitor And The Performance Requirements In Gas Gathering And Transportation Pipelines

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.

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.

Leak Mitigation of Dynamic Cracks in Concrete

Product Number: 41216-982-SG

Author: Charlie Lerman

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Concrete will crack – that is a fact. When cracks appear, they are dynamic or static, and structural or non-structural. If the crack is static, non-structural, and does not leak, epoxies are great to restore design strength. However, since concrete constantly shrinks, expands, and often leaks, the use of a flexible polyurethane resin to permanently seal active leaks is the optimum choice to create a leak-free environment.

Life Cycle Costs For Thermal Spray Zinc Duplex Coatings On Long Lifetime Steel Constructions

Product Number: 51322-17803-SG

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Very often the life of a corrosion protection paint coating system will not meet the design life of the steel structure it is supposed to protect. Decisions about coating selection are usually focusing on the costs for the initial construction, ignoring the certain future maintenance costs. The total cost of ownership includes the initial cost plus the maintenance, operating and finance costs over the life of a structure. Repeated maintenance operations, and resulting downtime, can add significantly to the total cost of ownership.
