The Effects Of Different Blast Abrasives On The Performance Of Liquid-Applied Epoxy Pipeline Coatings

Product Number: 51322-17806-SG

Author: Haralampos Tsaprailis, Shan (Sherry) Rao

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Proper surface preparation to create sufficient adhesion of a coating over the substrate is fundamentally important in the long-life performance of a protective coating. Abrasive blast cleaning provides a fast and well-established method of surface preparation, which utilizes energy generated by an air supply to deliver a mass of abrasive particles at certain speeds and volumes to impact the steel resulting in a cleaned surface. The method not only cleans the surface to remove rust, scale, paint, and similar contaminations, but also roughens the surface to produce mechanical and chemical adhesion for a coating. Therefore, abrasive blasting is the preferred method for preparing steel for the application of high-performance coatings and routinely used for achieving the required surface conditions prior to a coating work.

The Emergence of Contact Based Nondestructive Testing (NDT) at Height Utilizing Aerial Robotic (Drone) System

Product Number: 51220-240-SG

Author: Robert Dahlstrom

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

For corrosion engineers to take Nondestructive Testing (NDT) measurements at height, currently they may need to utilize a lift, scaffolding, ladders, inspection trucks with elevated baskets, rope work, catwalks, cranes and rigging or other solutions. NDT inspection programs can dramatically increase the safety and integrity of infrastructure, industrial and manufacturing assets, access requirements in performing these inspections introduces risk.

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

The drive towards renewable energy, requirement for reduction in fossil fuel consumption and emission of carbon dioxide has received substantial attention from governments and researchers worldwide during the last few decades [1]. The exploration of renewable sources of energy has been grouped into wind, geothermal, tidal and solar energy. Solar energy has shown great promise due to the abundant amount of energy reaching the Earth [2, 3]. Electricity generation from solar irradiation can be achieved by photovoltaic (PV) and photothermal conversion [4].

The Evolution of Waterborn Acrylic Protective Coatings

Product Number: 51220-274-SG

Author: Leo Procopio

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

Protective coatings based on waterborne acrylic technology have been used in the design, construction and maintenance of commercial and industrial structures for over four decades, and the types of applications where they are used, their formulation, and performance have evolved during that time period. Driven by the ability to meet environmental regulations, their ease of use, and improvements in performance, the utilization of waterborne acrylics has also grown over the years.

The Evolution of Thermoplastics as a Solution to MIC and Oxidative Corrosion Issues

Product Number: 51324-20978-SG

Author: Bryan L. Hutton

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Corrosion costs our industrial industries billions of dollars every year. Facilities focus on metallic solutions such as alloys, protective coatings, and corrosion prevention techniques to combat the issues. However, thermoplastics continue to grow as a sound engineering solution in many corrosive environments such as offshore, downstream processing, Chlor-alkali, mineral processing, semiconductor, metal pickling, pulp and paper, and many other emerging markets. Thermoplastics are inherently resistant to corrosion, and technology continues to create more robust, longer-lasting, more sustainable technologies. AMPP brings our members together to advance technical and practical corrosion prevention and control expertise. This paper will provide a comprehensive overview of several thermoplastic solutions, construction standards, and how they are addressed in the ASME B31.3 standards. The paper will help the reader understand the physical characteristics, polymer chemistry, and typical application range for several thermoplastics using industry standards such as ASME B31.3, ASME RTP-1, ASTM standards, and AWS. Thermoplastics may not be applicable in every application, but many support environments can take advantage of the increased service life, corrosion resistance, and lightweight thermoplastic materials. The paper will set the stage for our members to see applications where they can solve their corrosion issues like Potable/DI/RO water, sodium hypochlorite, sodium hydroxide, brine, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, sodium chloride, chlorine dioxide, nitric acid, and hydrochloric acid. Proper material selection and methodology combined with sound fabrication and installation techniques will be addressed to help our members find qualified support for their facilities. The industry needs thermoplastic guidance to build confidence. Our engineers, such as I (a chemical engineer), must be better trained in the accredited education system on thermoplastics, polymer science, or material selection techniques. True to the purpose of AMPP, this paper is built on the premise of providing AMPP members with the knowledge and resources to ensure high-performance materials are used to develop and maintain sustainable infrastructure.
