Why Would Anyone Not Galvanize Steel if They Can?

Product Number: 41211-608-SG

Author: Francis Gerace

Publication Date: 2011

$20.00

There are many products which protect structural steel from corrosion. There is also an intense focus on sustainability. Hot-dip galvanizing is one product that provides economical, long-lived, and sustainable corrosion protection. It is also more durable than most other barrier systems. Not all steel can be galvanized because sometimes the elements are too long and/or too heavy to be placed in the baths.

Wide range of buffering capasity of HLP solution for long term HIC testing under mildly sour condition

Product Number: 51322-18078-SG

Author: Daichi Izumi, Junji Shimamura, Nobuyuki Ishikawa, Takuya Hara, Kyono Yasuda, Taishi Fujishiro , Eiji Tada, Mitsuo Kimura

In linepipes for transportation of natural gas, suppression of hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) caused by H₂S contained in the transportation medium is an important issue. HIC is a phenomenon in which hydrogen atoms generated by a corrosion reaction penetrate steel and are accumulated in the central segregation part and inclusions in the steel, internal pressure is increased by gasification, and finally cracks occur.

Wireless UT Sensors For Structural Health Monitoring & Remote Operations In A Post COVID19 World

Product Number: 51322-17523-SG

Author: Steve Strachan

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

For decades, many asset owner/operators across the O&G value chain (and other critical industry segments) of upstream, midstream, & downstream have struggled to identify the root cause of fluctuating corrosion/erosion rates due to unreliable or infrequent data during various operating intervals on their most valuable of assets. This key missing data point has forced mechanical integrity teams, corrosion engineers, inspectors, and operations to, in many cases, make the best guess or hypothesize how to operate with a limited data set of information. In almost all cases, a time-based inspection or maintenance interval is used to gauge the useful lifetime of assets based on this limited data simply because these assets couldn’t give their owners a real-time health diagnostic of how they were doing … until now.

Wireline Cable: Corrosion of Galvanized Armor Wires in Aqueous Drilling Fluids

Product Number: 51324-20674-SG

Author: John Staniland; Madhuri Gummadi; Anatoly Medvedev; Trevor Hughes; Evgeny Barmatov

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

This paper describes a methodology for the investigation of corrosion of galvanized armor wires used in the construction of wireline logging cables. The methodology involves a detailed characterization of the wires to determine the characteristics of the zinc coating and Zn/Fe alloy zones. Model brine solutions and fully formulated drilling fluids were used to quantify the corrosion of galvanized armor wires in the aqueous fluid system (AFS) using weight-loss analysis and electrochemical techniques. A novel corrosion test protocol was developed to accurately measure both zinc dissolution and surface oxidation of the zinc coating. The degradation of the zinc coating was determined as a function of brine composition, oxygen concentration, pH, and temperature. The effectiveness of a grease coating applied to the wire sample surfaces prior to exposure to the brine was evaluated.

Wonderful World of Solid Particle Erosion and Challenges in Erosion Testing and Modeling

Product Number: 51323-19003-SG

Author: Siamack A. Shirazi, Yeshwanthraj Rajkumar, Ronald Vieira, Thiana A. Sedrez, Soroor Karimi, Jun Zhang, Farzin Darihaki, Hadi Arabnejad

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Solid particles entrained in fluids can impact pipelines and equipment causing wear and material removal. Particle impact velocities that are affected by the carrier fluids have the largest effect on the magnitude and distribution of solid particle erosion rates in addition to the mass of impacting particles or the particle rates. In addition to the interaction of particles with the carrier fluids, particles interaction with solid materials makes this process highly complex and produces effects that are interesting and yet important to predict for practical engineering applications.

Writing an Effective Scope of Work is Just Smart Business

Product Number: 51219-179-SG

Author: Russ Brown

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

Understanding the key components of any project is critical if one is to ensure a successful outcome rather than a project that is riddled with needless delays, misunderstandings, and costly rework charges. An effective Scope of Work (SOW) is often the sole document that is relevant in preventing issues that can wreak havoc on a typical project.
