Coating Conductance Characterization Using Trenchless Crossing Data

Product Number: 51324-21037-SG

Author: Daniel Fingas

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Coating resistance or conductance values are critical input parameters for the accurate modelling and design of AC mitigation and cathodic protection (CP) systems for pipelines. However, there are relatively few sources for real-world coating resistance values in the literature. To attempt to fill this gap, data from coating quality tests performed on thousands of trenchless pipeline installations was used to characterize the coating resistance of new, primarily fusion bonded epoxy (FBE)-coated pipelines. The tests assess damage incurred as part of the trenchless installations and cover the full range from pristine coating to significant scratches with bare metal. This allows the dataset to provide insight into both a baseline for open-trench coating quality and a range of practical coating qualities for trenchless installations. It was found that specific coating resistance values varied from less than 100 O·m2 to >1 MO·m2 but that there was no specific threshold that could be associated with pristine FBE coating. However, the data clearly validated the ‘300 mV shift’ design guideline for CP systems, which also demonstrates the link between CP current requirement and coating quality. Considering this, the implication of requiring a certain current density irrespective of coating quality is illustrated.

Coating Failure Over Gaps and Fasteners

Product Number: 51217-043-SG

Author: Aaron J. Feickert , S.G. Croll

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

The application of paints and other coatings over joints, gaps, and fasteners is universal in industrial applications. Where substrate flexing occurs, such as in aerospace and automotive use, an understanding of strains within such systems is essential. Results of finite-element analysis of various two- and three-dimensional models of coated joints are presented here.

Coating Failures and Misapplications in Commercial Painting

Product Number: 41209-514-SG

Author: Raymond S. Tombaugh

Publication Date: 2009

$20.00

While commercial painting is often thought to be less rigorous or less technical than industrial painting, the commercial painting industry has its own set of demands on a coating and is not without its share of coating problems. The authors experience demonstrates that there are commonalities in failures of coatings in commercial painting.

Coating Failures By Design

Product Number: 51322-18164-SG

Author: Leonard Phelps, Ralf Leistikow

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Although the form and function of a well-designed building are important, it is the long-term performance and durability of a building and its components that will be important to the owner(s) and occupants. Therefore, during the design of buildings, the selection of the appropriate materials and understanding the long-term performance of the specified materials exposed to various site-specific environmental conditions is critical in avoiding the potential “failure by design”. The case study presented will focus on the coating failure by design, that could have been avoided by the original design and construction team and resulted in costly litigation and eventually the complete removal of a key architectural element on two high-rise condominium buildings located along the Florida coastline

Coating Failures on Painted Galvanized Mast Arms

Product Number: 41208-402-SG

Author: Paul Vinik, Richard A. Burgess

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

Galvanized mast arms support uncounted numbers of traffic signals and signage throughout the United States. The proportion of these that have a “duplex” coating system (both galvanizing and organic coatings) is unknown. However, the number is surely significant, and the number of coating system failures is also significant.

Coating Inspection Data Reproducibility

Product Number: 41210-523-SG

Author: J. Peter Ault

Publication Date: 2010

$20.00

An NSRP-sponsored project investigating the cost of coatings QA suggested that current QA/QC processes have a high tendency to lead to conflict. Survey data collected during the project indicates that one in 20 inspection checkpoints is likely to result in a dispute. Some of these disputes may simply arise from the expected variability in standard coating QA test methods. Data regarding the reproducibility of coating QA measurements is generally not well understood and, in some cases non-existent. The paper will discuss the reproducibility of various measurements used in the industrial protective coatings industry.

Coating Modern Wind Turbines - How Hard Can it Be?

Product Number: 51216-009-SG

Author: Benedicte Riise Sørensen, Morten Juul Høiås

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Wind has been used as an energy source for centuries. Although the first wind turbines were built at end of the 19th century, the modern wind power industry, as we know it today, didn’t emerge until a century later. Today these wind turbines have an expected lifetime of up to 25 years. In addition, they are often placed offshore or in rugged terrain, making repairs extremely difficult and costly. There is a need for both tremendous corrosion and erosion protection to achieve the required lifetime expectancy.

Coating of Structural Steel for Public Structures

Product Number: 41205-212-SG

Author: John C. Williams

Publication Date: 2005

$20.00

The primary structure of many outdoor baseball parks and football stadiums is exposed structural steel. These facilities are often located in major cities in areas that may present challenges in control of corrosion. The challenge is also manifested in the fact that the structural steel frame becomes an architectural feature which must be maintained as an aesthetic element.
