Renewal Along the Intercoastal Waterway

Product Number: 41207-351-SG

Author: Roger C. Mabe

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

The exterior metal of the 777 South Flagler Drive office building in West Palm Beach Florida was tired and worn when the owner decided to renew the project. They had over the years, tried conventional products without the desired long term result. That is when they called in a specialty exterior metal coatings applicator and a coatings company that has both a proven product and track record of long term exterior coatings and glass products.

Renovation and Seismic Upgrade of a 1930’s Ford Assembly Plant

Product Number: 41209-499-SG

Author: Burt Olhiser

Publication Date: 2009

$20.00

In the 1920's the Ford Motor Company commissioned architect Albert Kahn to design regional automobile assembly plants. The largest on the West Coast was built in Richmond CA. With over 500,000 square feet of floor space under one roof it is still today the largest single building on San Francisco Bay. During the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake this National Historic Building was severely damaged to the point that it could not be occupied. This paper tells the tale of how due to incredible time restraints an Olympian effort was needed to retrofit and restore this national treasure to a usable commercial building.

Repainting Bridges During Rehabilitation Projects: Sequencing Options

Product Number: 41206-241-SG

Author: Christopher Farschon, Michael Hewins, Charles Moran

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

Major bridge rehabilitation projects may include painting of the steel superstructure in addition to deck replacement, expansion joint improvements, bearing replacement, etc. This paper will review the scheduling of the coatings work during a bridge rehabilitation project and how the order of coatings work affects the project schedule, cost, and quality.

Repainting Monumental Buildings

Product Number: 41206-246-SG

Author: Paul P. Greigger

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

Metal curtain wall and extrusions in prominent office buildings may need to be repainted either because the original factory applied finishes have dulled or because the owner wants to give the building a fresh look. Many monumental buildings are constructed with factory painted aluminum or steel cladding (curtain wall) and window extrusions. These buildings need to be repainted with field applied coatings that match the appearance and durability of the factory finishes.

Replica Tape- A Source of New Surface Profile Information

Product Number: 41214-808-SG

Author: David Beamish

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

Steel surfaces are frequently cleaned by abrasive impact prior to the application of protective coatings. The resultant surface profile, sometimes called an anchor pattern, is comprised of a complex pattern of peaks and valleys, which must be accurately assessed to ensure compliance with job or contract specifications.

Replica Tape- Relating 3 Surface Profile Parameters to Pull-Off Adhesion

Product Number: 41215-878-SG

Author: David Beamish

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Steel surfaces are frequently cleaned by abrasive impact prior to the application of protective coatings. The resultant surface profile must be accurately assessed to ensure compliance with job or contract specifications. But is profile height alone (the most commonly measured parameter) a good indicator of long-term coating performance?

REQUIREMENTS FOR LOW ALLOY STEEL PIPING ATTACHMENT WELDS

Product Number: MPWT19-15315

Author: Ameer Hamza, Jignesh Desai, Jan-Willem Rensman, Mark Van Den Broek, Kuntak Daru

Publication Date: 2019

$0.00

Proper design and fabrication, heat treatment and inspection practices play a vital role in achieving good quality and performance of low alloy steel piping. These materials have narrower fabrication windows as the alloy content goes up and non-adherence to correct execution practices may lead to leakage by delayed hydrogen cracking, stress corrosion cracking or fatigue resulting in unplanned shutdowns and costly repairs.
This paper describes details about strengths and weaknesses of support design and fabrication practices for such attachment welds. The paper discusses various precautions to be taken during the design and fabrication stages for low alloy steel supports attachment welds. It will discuss heat treatment cycles viz. preheat, interpass, dehydrogenation treatment (post heating) and post weld heat treatment (PWHT). The control of consumables, welding environment conditions, and the weld heating cycle is essential to prevent hydrogen assisted cold cracking in high hardness microstructures in weld and HAZ, and for achieving successful relief of residual welding stresses.

Research On Cluster Well Group Casing Cathodic Protection For Field Test And Optimization Of Anode Bed

Product Number: 51322-17724-SG

Author: Dawei Zhuang, Qian Zhao, Yanxia Du, Xiaoyong Wang, Qiongwei Li

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Deep well casing is an important part of oilfield production. In the long service life of well casing, corrosion can result in wall thinning and even perforation of the casing due to contacting with soil, water and other naturally occurring substances within the formation. The most economic and effective method to decrease corrosion of well casing is cathodic protection (CP). However, the vertical depth of casing is several kilometers, and CP current requirements of casing in different layers are quite different. At the same time, the conductivity of different formations will affect the distribution of CP current.
