ulti-Axial Fatigue Initiation Testing and Specimen Characterization of 304 Stainless Steel

Current fatigue assessments for the fatigue life of a plant component are usually based on methodologies that use uniaxial fatigue test data (i.e. ASME Section III, and are intended to be conservative for design and fitness-for-purpose assessments when applied to plant components and loading. This data is generated through cyclic loading of specimens at a constant amplitude, and failure is usually defined as when there is a load drop of 25% from steady state stress under strain-controlled conditions (or specimen separation for stress control). The corresponding number of cycles is then used as the definition of fatigue life for a particular strain amplitude. It is known that there are differences between fatigue behaviour in an idealised laboratory setting and in-service components which can contribute to excessive conservatism in plant assessments.

Ultra High Pressure Waterjetting as a Means of Surface Preperation for Marine Coatings Systems

Product Number: 41206-218-SG

Author: David P. Allerton, Nicole S. Bokisa, Brian S. Skerry

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

The objective of this study was to examine the effects of an ultra-high pressure (UHP) waterjetting surface preparation (>25,000 psi) on the performance properties of select marine/offshore coating epoxy systems. Uncoated steel panels had been allowed to rust in an outdoor atmospheric environment and then were subjected to UHP waterjetting

Ultra Low VOC High Performance Waterborne Coatings

Product Number: 41206-276-SG

Author: Patricia M. Peterson

Publication Date: 2006

$20.00

The twenty-first century presents a major challenge to coatings manufacturers. The amount of solvent allowable in many coatings has been reduced considerably. In order to attain these lower VOC’s, coatings formulators are searching for resins that have low VOC demand, as well as ways of formulating that can replace the high volumes of solvent used in the past

Ultra-Low VOC Waterborne Alkyd Coatings with Exceptional Corrosion Resistance

Product Number: 51216-018-SG

Author: Erin Vogel, Bob Bills, Marty Beebe, Christina Ellison, Jamie Sullivan, Vennesa Williams

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Solventborne alkyd resins are widely used in industrial coatings because of their excellent gloss, good adhesion and wetting properties as well as excellent compatibility with other resin types. In many regions, however, the consumption of alkyds is diminishing as stringent environmental regulations drive the coatings industry towards lower volatile organic compound (VOC) systems. Waterborne (WB) coating systems have replaced some solventborne (SB) alkyd paints; however, these WB coatings typically do not offer the same performance as their solventborne counterparts.

Ultrasonic Guided Waves and Machine Learning for Corrosion Monitoring in Steel Pipes

Product Number: 51323-19289-SG

Author: Magnus Wangensteen, Tonni Franke Johansen, Ali Fatemi, Erlend Magnus Viggen

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

In a pipe, guided Lamb-like waves can propagate around the circumference of the pipe wall. As they do, the waves pick up details about the pipe wall’s characteristics, such as its inner surface condition and, most significantly, its thickness. A robust pipe wall thickness estimation method based on conventional (i.e., non-machine learning) processing methods has been proposed by the authors.

Publication Date: 2012

$20.00

The search for environmentally friendly and greener materials in the polymer field is further explored to decrease dependency toward petroleum-based products. Sucrose soyate, a complex molecule of sucrose and fatty acids of soybean oils, provide an alternative renewable material for petroleum-based coating resins in addition to the already existing choice of drying oils

Under Deposit Corrosion of API X-65 Carbon Steel in the Presence of Acid Gases

Product Number: 51319-13044-SG

Author: Suresh Divi

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

Deposits can play an important role in the corrosion rate and morphology of carbon steel in a production environment as well as affect the efficacy of an inhibitor. A test method has been developed to investigate the corrosion characteristics of carbon steel in a stratified flow regime where deposits of solids accumulate in the bottom of a pipeline.Previous testing showed higher under deposit corrosion rates of API X-65 carbon steel when the deposit consists of iron sulfide (FeS) versus sand in a 100%H 2 S environment. There is a needto investigate the effect of CO2 on these findings as the lower pH should affect the corrosion rate morphology and galvanic action particularly with respect to the FeS deposits.This paper presents the effect of mixed gases (50%H 2 S + 50%CO2 ) on corrosion behavior of API X-65 carbon steel coupons in the FeS and sand deposits. The average corrosion rate thickness loss of the coupons and pitting at the solid/liquid interface will be presented.Keywords: Under deposit corrosion Iron sulfide (FeS) sand mill scale acid gases
