The Value of Quality and the QP1 Contractor; An Owners Perspective

Product Number: 41210-579-SG

Author: Daniel A. Zarate

Publication Date: 2010

$20.00

For too many people, quality is something nebulous and immeasurable. General terms like “craftsman like manner” have been used but with mixed results. What is required is a “team” effort where all parties involved understand not only the scope and desired outcome but also have a means of communicating what is meant by “craftsman like manner”. The impact of one part to the overall approach in advancing quality in coating operations, using qualified contractors, is discussed.

The Virtual Corrosion Engineer For Soil Side Corrosion Prediction And Cathodic Protection Status Monitoring

Product Number: 51322-17677-SG

Author: Vishnu Sivadasan, Emad Daher, Tom Bos, Nicholas Laycock

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Corrosion is a ubiquitous phenomenon, which can have massive impacts on the functioning of industrial assets. The threat of corrosion is exacerbated in situations where regular corrosion inspections are difficult. The Virtual Corrosion Engineer (VCE) Project within Shell is intended to offer a solution to this problem by automatically assessing the corrosion rates and threat levels in assets due to a variety of corrosion mechanisms. The VCE system has been deployed in an asset progressively since 2019.

The VOC Odyssey: An Epic Tale of the Green World of Coating Formulators

Product Number: 41210-559-SG

Author: Mike O’Donoghue, V.J. Datta

Publication Date: 2010

$20.00

Coating formulators have demonstrated ingenuity in complying with stringent VOC regulations while keeping the same standard of high performance. Significant research and development in recent years has shown that two-component waterborne epoxies can deliver comparable performance to solvent borne epoxies, and that novel single-component waterborne coatings possess outstanding corrosion resistance and aesthetic properties.

The Weakest Link’ & ‘HRCSA’ Coatings Technology The Cost, Cause & Cure for Corrosion

Product Number: 51219-206-SG

Author: Rick Noles

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

The “Weakest Link” on any structure is found at the nut and bolt assemblies. Nuts and bolts are found on every structure. “The fate of any complex steel assembly may be determined by the vulnerability of its smallest and least considered components”. “The bolts or fasteners holding the assembly together are often the areas where corrosion starts first and where the effects of corrosion may have the most serious consequences”.

The West Virginia State Capitol Dome: Lessons Learned from a Failing Finish

Product Number: 41207-361-SG

Author: Elizabeth Moss

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

Located on the banks of the Kanawha River surrounded by the rugged Allegheny Mountains, the gilded lead-coated copper dome of Cass Gilbert’s 1932 West Virginia State Capitol has never successfully weathered the harsh climate nor withstood the test of time. Although beautifully detailed and successful at resisting water infiltration, the dome’s appearance was problematic soon after its completion and has remained so even after four significant refinishing campaigns - in 1946, 1961, 1977 and most recently in 1988.

The World Marketplace for Protective Coatings - Opportunities and Trends

Product Number: 41210-531-SG

Author: Karsten Danielmeier

Publication Date: 2010

$20.00

The past 35 years have brought massive changes to the Protective Coatings industry. Increasing levels of regulatory oversight and the reduction in VOC emissions are among the more obvious impacts. However, change is also a reaction to the global trends occurring throughout the world: population growth, globalization/urbanization, climate change/global warming, the healthcare revolution and accelerated technology changes. All of these trends have and will continue to create new opportunities. How can our business model recognize and take advantage of these trends that create coatings opportunities?

Theory and testing of composite materials on Stress Corrosion Cracking

Product Number: 51323-19002-SG

Author: Casey Whalen, Omar Ramirez

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Stress Corrosion Cracking, or SCC, is part of a group of cracks commonly known as Environmental Cracking. Additional types of cracks found in this group include corrosion fatigue and hydrogen embrittlement. It is generally known that SCC requires three factors to be present to form and continue growing. The first is a susceptible material. In the world of pipelines, carbon steel is quite susceptible to corrosion when buried but is typically protected from this threat utilizing a combination of external coatings in cathodic protection.
