Importance Of Quality Control Of Wear Resistant Overlays In Oil Sands Production Operations.

Product Number: 51322-17838-SG

Author: Satya Kompally, Jeff Liu

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Canadian Oil Sands mining operations have been producing oil from sand ore from the early 1960s. Oil Sands mainly consists of high hardness quartz, silica, bitumen and water. Bitumen production processes include mining the sand, washing it with hot water, slurry transportation, tailing disposal and bitumen production. Abrasion, gouging wear, impact wear, erosion and erosion-corrosion are predominant degradation mechanisms in Oil Sand mining operations.

Improved Cathodic Protection Current Distribution for Above Ground Storage Tank Bottoms Due to Low Resistivity Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor Use

Product Number: 51322-17666-SG

Author: Sujay Math

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

In this paper, the CP current distribution with changing resistivities and the area of influence required to meet effective CP criteria, is studied. The results indicate that the tank pad electrolyte resistivity plays a significant role in achieving uniform CP current distribution. The paper also explores the use of Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor (VCI) and its effect on electrolyte resistivity and the resulting CP current distribution.

Improved Flexibility of Bis-Phenol a Epoxy Paint by Crosslinking with Amino-Functional Siloxane Resin

Product Number: 41205-173-SG

Author: Lisa A. Honaman, Gerald L. Witucki

Publication Date: 2005

$20.00

Bis-Phenol A epoxy resin-based coatings are known for excellent corrosion and chemical resistance. Limitations of this class of coatings are poor flexibility, thermal stability and weather resistance. Traditional siloxane resins are commonly used in the industry to improve the thermal and weather resistance of bis-Phenol A epoxy coatings. In addition, organo-functional silicone polymers have been used to provide improved flexibility, but create recoatability issues.

Improved Performance Testing for Coatings in Corrosive Service

Product Number: 41205-199-SG

Author: Greg Ruschau

Publication Date: 2005

$20.00

Improved selection of testing protocols for corrosion coatings, along with proper interpretation of the results, allows for a better representation of how coatings will perform in service. A review of several types of corrosive service environments is presented, including the testing normally performed, along with a more in depth look at how to quantify performance variables in a rating system based on individual test results.

Improving Coating Performance by Using a Novel Polymeric Adhesion Promoter Technology

Product Number: 41216-949-SG

Author: Martin Muth, Andreas Freytag, René Nagelsdiek, Ronald Brashear

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

When coatings are applied to substrates as e.g., metal, the adhesion of the cured paint is a critical parameter for the final performance of the paint film. The adhesion of the paint to the substrate influences many properties of the paint, which including visual appearance, anticorrosive performance, flexibility, resistance against scribing and scratching, delamination, blistering and many more. Many actions can be taken to influence and improve the adhesion of a coating to a substrate.

Improving Hydrogen Embrittlement Resistance Of Precipitation Hardened Nickel-Alloys

Product Number: 51321-16673-SG

Author: Luca Foroni, Carlo Malara

Publication Date: 2021

$20.00

Precipitation hardened (PH) Ni-alloys are widely used in the oil and gas industry since they provide an excellent combination of corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. Their use in the manufacture of API1 6A pressure-containing and pressure-controlling components is subject to the stringent requirements of specification API Standard 6ACRA. However, matching the requirements of API Standard 6ACRA does not preclude susceptibility of some PH Ni-alloys to hydrogen embrittlement (HE) and this in some cases has led to premature and unexpected failures of components made from such
materials.(

Improving Integrity Management Decision Making Using Automated Calibration Of Model Predictions Using CP Survey Data

Product Number: 51322-17557-SG

Author: Robert Adey, Madhu Sudan Sapkota, John Baynham, Edward Apeh, Cristina Peratta

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

In this paper, a case study is presented for a marine structure for which modelling has been used to predict the protection potentials over the life of the structure.

The aim of any digital transformation of integrity management and in particular corrosion control is the improvement of communication efficiency, planning efficiency and maintenance efficiency. Key issues are predictive maintenance and clarity of the information available so engineers can make informed decisions. Therefore it is not just a question of collecting more information but also the way that information is used and shared with the decision-makers.

Improving the Performance of Epoxy-Polysiloxane Coatings

Product Number: 41215-907-SG

Author: Dean Kondos, Vikram Kumar, Kujtim Bizati, Christian Geismann, Martin Wusik

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

A new patent-pending resin technology incorporated into the epoxy/polysiloxane part A portion of a two-component coating system, using an amino-silane curing agent, has shown significant improvements in flexibility, gloss and color retention. Corrosion resistance and adhesion to non-sandblasted metal substrates have also shown improvements. The new resin technology may be considered for low-VOC and HAPs coating systems.

In Zinc We Trust? - Zinc-Free Anti-Corrosive Pigments

Product Number: 41215-906-SG

Author: Lars Kirmaier, Susanne Bender, Andreas Heyn

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Besides economic considerations, ecological and regulatory factors play an increasingly decisive role nowadays in the formulation of innovative coating systems. It is therefore no surprise that the call for zinc-free anti-corrosive pigments or those that do not require labeling has steadily increased in recent years. Zinc-free technology is not new. Numerous pigments based on calcium, strontium, aluminum, and magnesium phosphate have been available on the market for a long time.

Increasing Weathering Test Acceleration Through higher Irradiance

Product Number: 41214-873-SG

Author: Allen F. Zienik

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

While real time outdoor weathering exposures in benchmark climates, such as South Florida, are highly recommended for determining coating performance and service lifetimes, the lengthy test times required are often problematic. Therefore, outdoor and laboratory artificial accelerated weathering testing has become a mainstay in coatings testing, particularly in the product development phase.
