Asset owners spend significant monies each year on the construction of new and the maintenance of existing infrastructure. More than ever, these funds can be difficult to procure and budget. The owners include, both municipal and industrial entities and funds are limited in most cases, therefore, asset service life is very important to all parties.

“Effect of Material's Surface Hardness on Solid Particle Erosion Resistance of Tungsten Carbides and Stainless Steel 316 in Sand-Air Flows”

Product Number: 51323-19212-SG

In oil and gas industries the material surface of pipelines, tools, and equipment is exposed to many harsh operational conditions- one of which is the repetitive impingement of contaminated solid particles when encountering a mixture of gas and sand or liquid solids-laden slurries. In addition to maintenance and material expenses, mass loss of materials due to erosion results in unstable production rates. Hence, predicting the erosion provides the ability to optimize the design and qualify it for operation in an erosive environment for the required operational life.

“FOURIER TRANSFORM INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY TO VERIFY CHEMICAL CONSISTENCY OF INDUSTRIAL COATINGS THE APPLICATION OF INSTRUMENTAL COMPARATIVE METHODS

Product Number: 41210-560-SG

Author: Cynthia L. O’Malley, Derrick Castle

Publication Date: 2010

$20.00

This paper on the use of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and instrumental determination using algorithm-based comparison of spectra is comprised of an orientation to the basics of instrument use and sample preparation, followed by a review of test programs and results of instrument-based spectra comparisons of numerous industrial coating types. The chemical molecular bonds associated with each coating type used to generically identify the coating types will be reviewed as background information.

“Introducing The Nation’s First Bachelor of Science Degree in Corrosion Engineering and the National Center for Education and Research on Corrosion and Materials Performance

Product Number: 41211-627-SG

Author: Sue Louscher

Publication Date: 2011

$20.00

By establishing a holistic program that incorporates workforce training, the nation's first baccalaureate degree in Corrosion Engineering, and world-class research in corrosion and materials performance; The University of Akron (UA) is establishing a program that will create a pipeline of critical resources that will ensure that future investments in equipment and infrastructure revitalization are designed and implemented in a manner that minimizes the impact of corrosion and thus reduces the life-cycle cost to sustain those assets.

“This Ain’t Your Mothers Dehumidifier Anymore! New Advancements in Temporary Dehumidification Equipment Meets “Green” Objectives While Reducing Operating Costs

Product Number: 41211-589-SG

Author: Russ Brown, David Simkins

Publication Date: 2011

$20.00

The paint and coatings industry has witnessed significant change over the past 50 years. These changes have been driven by many factors including VOC mandates, safety concerns, advanced polymers and new demands of the end users and materials. One of those changes was the introduction of desiccant dehumidification to assist in the blast and coatings process of liquid storage tanks in 1983. The ability to indefinitely hold a blast by providing a dry climate mechanically set off the beginning of a technology that would continue to advance for years to come.

“μ-Deck: Implementation of a New COF Meter for US Navy

Product Number: 41210-553-SG

Author: Wayne McGaulley, Jeffrey Duckworth, Damien Ranero

Publication Date: 2010

$20.00

Existing US Navy Coefficient of Friction (CoF) meters are insensitive and cannot differentiate surfaces which have obvious differences in nonskid CoF. A new CoF meter, the m-Deck, was evaluated to determine CoF measurement effectiveness and temperature sensitivity. Both laboratory and field testing were performed over various nonskid systems at numerous temperatures. The results indicate that the m-Deck has significant temperature dependence, but also a high degree of accuracy. The collected data is used to establish acceptance criteria for newly installed nonskid.
