Powder Coating - Contract Metal Finishing; How to Avoid Premature Coating Failures

Product Number: 41208-406-SG

Author: Michael W. Cravens

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

Every year millions of dollars are spent litigating the responsibility issues associated with the repair or replacement of coated products that have prematurely lost their decorative or protective value due to improper coating specification or application. Many of these failures could have been avoided if the proper finishing materials and methods were specified, followed, certified and documented.

Powder Coating Over Galvanized Steel

Product Number: 41210-549-SG

Author: Wayne Lawrence

Publication Date: 2010

$20.00

Powder coating over hot dip galvanized steel is an extremely effective corrosion protection system. However, careful surface preparation techniques need to be used to alleviate potential coating failures. The age and characteristics of the galvanized coating should be used to determine what type of surface preparation is needed.

Powder Coatings 101

Product Number: 41206-282-SG

Author: L. Miguel Rodriguez-Maceda

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

There are very few markets that have not been affected by powder coatings. Powders are used widely throughout the automotive industry for underhood parts, wheels, trim, and as full body primers. Whereas it is unlikely that powder coatings will ever replace liquid color coats in automotive assembly plants, some companies have has made full body powder clear coats a reality.

Power Tool Cleaned Surfaces New Insights into Surface Profile Measurement

Product Number: 51218-166-SG

Author: Dr. Rebekah Wilson & Brooke Divan

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

This paper will evaluate methods used to measure surface profiles created by power tools, namely air needle scalers, bristle cleaners, and roto peen scalers. Particular focus will be placed on the use of replica tape and its ability to characterize profiles of various surfaces using a digital replica tape reader with 3D imaging capability. More specifically, this paper will determine if the measurement methods described in ASTM D44171are appropriate for the measurement of profiles produced by power tools.

Practical Application Of AI To Transform Pipeline Integrity Management

Product Number: 51323-19039-SG

Author: Pankaj Tandon

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Management and operating teams, across all industries, but especially inside asset management organizations, must increasingly rely on data-driven assessment and analytics for decision making. Clearly, inefficiency and ineffectiveness associated with manual or poorly optimized business processes and fragmented business management Infrastructures is a barrier to formulating the safest, most efficient and cost effective asset management and operational decisions. According to Deloitte’s digital maturity analysis, the midstream industry and specially the pipeline sector is in its lowest stages of digital adoption (first 20-30% progress).

Practical Application of Coating Systems in Wastewater Treatment Facilities

Product Number: 41206-232-SG

Author: Scott DeVinney

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

Preservation of wastewater treatment assets and the evolution of the coating options required to mitigate the severity of the exposure environment, are giving coating contractors pause to examine alternative means of application. By expanding application versatility, the coating contractor will be able to compete across the range of preservation options.

Practical Application of Lifecycle Costing of Coating Systems – Effectively Using Forecasted Service Life and Cost Consideration Data

Product Number: 51323-19210-SG

Author: J. Peter Ault, Jayson Helsel

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

For each sample project, the service environment (i.e. exposure conditions) and anticipated maintenance painting sequence needs to be defined. The service environments correspond to ISO 12944-2, “Classification of Environments.” The referenced paper (referred to as the Paper) presents a sequence for typical maintenance painting.

This sequence includes the follow steps:

Original Painting
Spot Touch-Up and Repair (1 or 2 cycles)
Maintenance Repaint [spot prime and full coat] (1 or 2 cycles)
Full Repaint [total coating removal and replacement]

Practical Coating Thickness Measurement Overview

Product Number: 41213-765-SG

Author: Dr. Michaela Zirngast, Dr. Roland Feola, & Dr. Florian Lunzer

Publication Date: 2013

$20.00

An increase in useful life expectancies for structures requires the stringent process control of applied protective coatings. Evaluating the uniformity of the protective coating thickness is a critical quality component. Solutions for meeting industries’ ultimate goals of reducing costs, lessoning errors, and increasing quality will be discussed in the following coating thickness measurement overview.

Practical Considerations For The Assessment Of HTHA Risk

Product Number: 51323-19187-SG

Author: Jeremy Staats, Dave Dewees, Gerrit Buchheim, Frank Sapienza

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Becht is among multiple engineering groups which has developed a practical model to continue giving owner-operators higher confidence by extending HTHA assessment methodologies to be more quantitative using decades of development from the literature. This model has incorporated a well-established analytical damage model that can produce time-based Nelson Curves for carbon steel and C-0.5Mo materials, based on the temperature, hydrogen partial pressure and applied stresses.

The key to any quantitative model is managing the input parameters and validation of input data.

Practical Considerations for the Life Cycle Evaluation of Zinc Rich Coatings Galvanized Steel and Thermal Sprayed Metals for Industrial Structures in Moderate Environmental Exposures

Product Number: 41207-339-SG

Author: Jayson L. Helsel

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

This paper provides an objective review of the life cycle costs of zinc-rich coating systems used in moderate industrial exposure environments. The coating systems include conventional inorganic/organic coatings, galvanizing, and thermal sprayed metal coatings (metallizing). Service life and installation cost data from previous studies is used to calculate the life cycle costs over a specified design life of an industrial structure.

Practical Galvanic Series for Improved Materials Selection in Sweet Systems

Product Number: 51319-12855-SG

Author: Guenter Schmitt

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

In oil and gas production and transportation dissimilar materials are frequently combined for technical and economic reasons. However the combination of dissimilar metals can result in corrosion due to galvanic or bimetallic effects. The driving force for this kind of corrosion is the difference of the corrosion potentials of the individual materials in the given environment which causes element currents the magnitude of which depends on the sum of all system resistances (Ohmic Law). Any assessment of the corrosion rates at bimetallic couplings needs the information on the corrosion (rest) potentials of the bimetallic partners in the relevant medium.Due to the lack of consistent literature data a practical galvanic series was established in this work for standard oil country tubular goods (OCTG) steels corrosion resistant alloys (CRA) as well as graphite (as gasket material) in a model sweet upstream environment. From polarization resistance measurements information was obtained on the corrosion rate of the C-steels in the absence of bimetallic coupling. Furthermore the corrosion rates encountered at the partners of bimetallic couples were quantified via mass loss measurements. The results of this work allow better assessment of the severity of bimetallic corrosion and hence a more appropriate selection of materials which prevents corrosion failures increases the integrity of assets and saves costs.
