QA’ing the QC from a Distance

Product Number: 51220-243-SG

Author: Troy Fraebel, ABKaelin, Jerrith Hodskins, JI Hass

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

When it was time for a major fertilizer distribution facility in the Midwest to have its conveyor structure repainted, the owner started contemplating full-time independent third-party inspection. After reviewing the contractor’s schedule and the size of the crew, it became apparent that this approach would interfere with the contractor’s operations and be cost prohibitive for the owner.

Quagga Mussel Coating Project

Product Number: 41213-800-SG

Author: Randall Witowski

Publication Date: 2013

$20.00

This paper summarizes a coating application to a diver’s barge and field performance evaluation process for a system that prevents quagga mussels from attachment. The coating system utilizes two separate manufactures for the one system on the immersion side, combined to create a non adhering quagga mussel barrier coating.

Qualification Methods of Seamless Tubes for H2 Gas Applications

Product Number: 51324-20737-SG

Author: Florian Thebault; Vincent Designolle

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Sour service is frequently perceived as an appropriate material selection by default for high pressure hydrogen service. So a documented review of sour versus hydrogen gas charging is given, in terms of their respective hydrogen fugacities, hydrogen sources, surface states and crack tip blunting. This global view is susceptible to affect the selection of the test methodology for material qualification. Constant displacement and step loading fracture mechanics tests were performed on an OCTG K55 at room temperature and 100 bar of H2 gas. Results differ with the test method, which was found to be linked to the steepness of the crack growth resistance curve.

Qualification of Coatings for Launch Facilities and Ground Support Equipment Through the NASA Corrosion Technology Laboratory

Product Number: 41214-832-SG

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

Corrosion protection at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center is a high priority item. The launch facilities at the Kennedy Space Center are located approximately 1000 feet from the Atlantic Ocean where they are exposed to salt deposits, high humidity, high UV degradation, and acidic exhaust from solid rocket boosters. These assets are constructed from carbon steel, which requires a suitable coating to provide long-term protection to reduce corrosion and its associated costs.

Qualification of High Temperature FBE for Offshore Services

Product Number: 51319-13351-SG

Author: Catherine Lam

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

The demand for high temperature (≤150⁰C) protective coating systems for offshore service has proliferated due to the increase in high temperature pipelines developments in Asia Pacific and Gulf of Mexico regions. Three-layer Polypropylene and multi-layer coating systems are typically used as anti-corrosion coatings for offshore pipelines as they are capable of withstanding operating temperatures as high as 150⁰C and they are resistance to water and mechanical damage. Recently there is an increasing interest in using standalone fusion bonded epoxy coatings single or dual-layer systems for high temperature offshore services. However there is insufficient data available to determine the fitness of purpose for offshore HT environments. Different HT FBE were evaluated and this presentation discusses the performance of coating systems subjected to simulated service testing. In addition test results obtained from a 2-year thermal ageing programunder nitrogen environment will be reviewed and compared between standalone HT FBE and 3LPP coating systems. A qualification protocol will be introduced for HT coating systems for offshore pipelines.

Qualification of Low Temperature Cure, Thin-Film Linings for Aboveground Storage Tanks

Product Number: 51323-18767-SG

Author: Haralampos Tsaprailis, Shan Rao, Jiajun Liang

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

This paper presents the laboratory qualification program utilized to compare four lining systems for application down to -10°C (14°F). The lining systems were applied and cured at -10 °C (14 °F). Cure of the lining systems was monitored using differential scanning calorimetry and adhesion testing, while the performance of the linings was evaluated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and autoclave and standard atlas cell testing. One of the four lining systems, Product C, a 71% volume solids epoxy that contained zinc phosphate, exhibited the most potential for low temperature field implementation.

Qualification of Seamless X60QOS and X65QOS Line Pipe Grades for Extreme Sour Service Conditions with Partial Pressure of H2S beyond 1 Bar

Product Number: MPWT19-15127

Author: Florian THEBAULT, Laurent LADEUILLE, Harold EVIN, Laurent LAMPS

Publication Date: 2019

$0.00

Seamless X60QOS and X65QOS line pipes are widely used for offshore and onshore Sour Service applications. Sour Service refers to the risk of hydrogen related cracking as Sulfide Stress Cracking (SSC). The International standard (NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156) provides requirements for assessing the resistance to SSC, specifically on how to qualify for use in region 3 of the environmental severity diagram (Figure 1 in paragraph 7.2.1.2 of part 2). It is requested to expose materials in an acid solution saturated by 1 bar of H2S (NACE TM0177 Solution A) and to apply a tensile stress above 80% AYS by means of different methods: uniaxial tensile, C-ring or Four-Points Bend. However, for very sour fields presenting H2S partial pressures much higher than 1 bar, the preservation of the SSC resistance might be questioned and is presently a major concern for the O&G industry.
The present paper is dedicated to the evaluation of the SSC resistance of seamless quenched and tempered X65 grades, including the girth weld in the standard NACE TM0177 Solution A up to 15 bar of H2S partial pressure. Corrosion tests consisted of four-point bend tests performed in autoclave vessels. Different test configurations were investigated as specimen sampling locations through the wall thickness and surface state preparation.
