Pre-Manufactured Architectural Fire Protection

Product Number: 41210-533-SG

Author: Bill Dempster

Publication Date: 2010

$20.00

A recent technology has been introduced where improved mechanical durability and aesthetically pleasing finish is achieved using pre-manufactured intumescent fire protection. This paper will detail how the pre-manufactured intumescent technology will provide an attractive alternative to spray application to achieve up to 2-hour rating with simple installation techniques that result in ultra smooth, no orange peel finish. This alternative process can be used on new construction, maintenance and building retrofits with little disruption on the job site.

Premature Corrosion Attack of Stainless Steel Pipes and Welds

Product Number: 51324-20325-SG

Author: Hussain H. AlMahamedh; Ali H. AlShawaf

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Newly constructed Stainless Steel Pipes experienced multiple leaks during commissioning. The different sizes pipe were constructed of 316L and 304L stainless steel at one of the Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) affiliates. A failure investigation was performed to identify the root cause of the leaks. Samples were cut out of the pipes for analytical study. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) coupled with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) was used to study the corrosion damage morphology and the chemical compositions of the corrosion products. Cross sectional samples, out of the pipes, were prepared for Metallographic examinations. XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry) and carbon/sulfur analyzer was used to identify the chemical composition of the pipes material. The failure investigation suggests that, improper welding, mothballing and lay-up of the piping network after hydrotesting promoted Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC).

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

The refining industry has made significant strides in technology and materials science, resulting in increased efficiency and reliability of various refinery units. Despite these advancements, unexpected failures persist, leading to costly downtime and potential safety hazards. A recent instance of premature failure in a newly commissioned Naphtha Hydrotreating unit (NHT) highlights the challenges that still exist in maintaining the integrity of critical infrastructure.

Preparation of Concrete for Rapid Coating Application

Product Number: 41214-822-SG

Author: Fred Goodwin, Frank Apicella

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

Because process shutdowns are expensive, it is desirable to speed up the turn-around time when applying protective coating systems on concrete. Rapid installation of surfacing materials on concrete can be problematical due to inadequate surface preparation, residual moisture, low surface tensile strength, and poor compatibility between the concrete substrate repair materials and the protective coating system.

Preparing an Inspection Plan for Bridge Maintenance Painting

Product Number: 41211-596-SG

Author: William D. Corbett

Publication Date: 2011

$20.00

A bridge coatings specification can be a complex and sometimes confusing document to navigate through. Yet it is regarded as the rulebook for quality control and quality assurance personnel responsible for inspecting the quality of work. An inspection plan is a tool that can make the process of understanding the inspection checkpoints invoked by a bridge coating specification more streamlined and can be a key communication tool for contractor and inspection personnel.

Preparing and Drafting Specifications

Product Number: 41206-275-SG

Author: Nicholas S. Papleacos

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

All coating projects should be bid using plans and specifications tailored to the project. In this paper, we will examine the goals of the specifications, as well as some of the basic guidelines for their preparation and common language which should be included to ensure a clear presentation of the work to be performed. Also, we will describe the obligations of the design team that are implied by law in every contract.

Preparing and Lining Concrete For Immersion Service Steps and Procedures To Avoid Failures

Product Number: 41213-768-SG

Author: Bob Maley

Publication Date: 2013

$20.00

The practice of lining concrete substrates has increased exponentially over the past thirty (30) years, most notably in the wastewater treatment industry. Environmental regulations, coupled with changes to treatment processes, have resulted in far more severe environments in which concrete can and will corrode.

Preparing Hot-Dip Galvanized Coating Surfaces for Painting

Product Number: 41215-908-SG

Author: Thomas J. Langill

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Duplex systems, also known as painting over hot dip galvanized steel, are extremely effective corrosion protection systems. 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. Surface preparation should develop an anchor profile for the paint without removing the zinc coating.
