Time Management – Taking Back Control of your Life

Product Number: 41207-327-SG

Author: Doug Duncan

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

Have you ever wished for a 30 hour day? Surely the extra time would relieve the tremendous pressure under which we live. Our lives leave a trail of unfinished tasks… unanswered letters … unvisited friends … unwritten articles… and unread books haunt quiet moments when we stop to evaluate.

Time of Flight Diffraction and Modal Analysis of a Butt-welded Pipe

Product Number: MPWT19-14295

Pipeline and piping have been widely used for decades in the transportation of enormous kinds
of fluids in diverse industries (e.g. oil and gas, chemical and power industries). During the
construction phase of these pipelines, different sizes of pipes (ranging from 2" to 48" or more),
elbows and piping are welded to meet the required design criteria and mechanical properties.
With these in mind, a lot of factors must meticulously be considered to ensure that the finished
weld is suitable for use in all ramifications. This is done in accordance to set down codes and
standards to avoid the possibility of failure. Even though there has been destructive analysis
carried out on the welded joint to ascertain the required minimum mechanical properties, however
scanty numerical and non-destructive analyses are usually performed in line with the established
standards. Therefore, this paper focused on the numerical (modal analysis using ANSYS R15.0
explicit dynamic modeler) and non-destructive (TOFD: time of flight diffraction) analysis on a 4”
butt welded pipe.
The result from the numerical analysis clearly showed the effects of the discontinuities on the
welded joint where discontinuities exist as equally confirmed by the non-destructive inspection.
These parts exhibited higher stress concentration as compared to other parts that do not have
any form of discontinuities and this relates to the fact that the presence of these discontinuities
will accelerate the failure of the welded joint even though the applied stress at those points is
much lower than the yield strength of the material.

Time Tested Performance of Bridge Coatings

Product Number: 41206-260-SG

Author: David S. Leyland

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

The purpose of this study was to determine the actual service life of some commonly used bridge coating systems. A study authored by Gordon H. Brevoort and updated by KTA-Tator, Inc. in 1996 (1) provided a table of projected service life based largely on a survey of coating manufacturers. Are industry wide predictions of coating life accurate?

Time, Money and Tank Linings

Product Number: 41215-882-SG

Author: Miles Buckhurst

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

What is the cost of Tank Linings? Are we able to answer this properly, do we take into account all the factors, and do we see the main cost driver? It is a well known fact that time is money, and if we take into account the cost of being out of service or a delay in beginning operations then the cost of time is far greater than individual costs of producing equipment and coating them.

Titanium Duty Cycle Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation Influence on Film Porosity and Corrosion Resistance

Product Number: 51319-13135-SG

Author: Marco Ormellese

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

Among different form of anodic oxidation on titanium plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is recognized to produce oxide layers up to two orders of magnitude thicker that the ones produced by standard anodization. This treatment increases corrosion resistance in a variety of environments. However the micro-arcs produced during film growth induce nanoporosity in oxide film. This porosity limits oxide barrier effect and allows aggressive species to approach metallic titanium. In this work pulsed signal at different duty cycle values and different frequencies is applied to reduce the energy of each spark and create a smoother surface. The obtained samples are characterized for corrosion resistance in halides rich environment. Process parameters are optimized in order to achieve the best corrosion resistance for each given anodizing potential.

Titans of the Abyss: Polyurethane, Polyurea and Hybrid Lining Technology

Product Number: 41213-773-SG

Author: Mike O’Donoghue

Publication Date: 2013

$20.00

In the realm of new construction and maintenance lining projects, e.g., tank and vessel linings and pipelines, “productivity” has become a buzzword with applicators, owners, coating manufacturers and engineering companies. There can be a difficult balancing act to ensure so called “rapid productivity” is delivered and yet provide owners with the best net return on their investment.

To Cycle or Not to Cycle: That is the Question

Product Number: 51217-037-SG

Author: Carl Reed, Travis Boerma, Kat Coronado, Steve Vento

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

Previous papers by two of the authors have examined 1) the futility of attempting to correlate accelerated corrosion testing results to real world corrosion observations, and 2) how corrosion testing is useful as an indicator of performance without the need for real world correlation and what may be expected in a corrosive environment and how these results can be usefully applied in the real world. This third paper in the trilogy, examines a specific attribute of accelerated corrosion testing, that being the utility of wet/dry cycling testing versus continuous fog methods.

To Dry, or Not to Dry That is the Question

Product Number: 41205-207-SG

Author: Russell Spotten

Publication Date: 2005

$20.00

Cementitious fireproofing material can dry slowly. Common construction defects can result, including improper curing of fireproofing materials, potential for mold and mildew growth, excess moisture that slows drying of other materials and delays in the construction schedule. Desiccant dehumidification technology speeds drying times to eliminate those problems.

Too Deep or too Shallow... Can Surface Profiles by Changed by Additional Blast Cleaning?

Product Number: 51217-036-SG

Author: William Corbett, Carly McGee, Jason Coley,

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

Coating specifications for protection of steel surfaces commonly contain requirements to generate a surface profile (to anchor the coating system to the substrate), within a range (minimum and maximum depth). In the future, specifications may also invoke a requirement to achieve a minimum peak density or peak count.
