Product Number: 51322-17825-SG

Author: David B. Futch, Davie Peguero, ,\Casey Whalen, Stephen Barnett

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

The motivation for this work was to perform a comprehensive test program to investigate several commercially available composite repair systems and their interactions with cathodic protection. Multiple test methods were utilized to prove there remains a low probability of shielding for composites of typical thickness and in a typical environment. This work will also discuss how results from current industry qualification tests (such as those specified in ASME PCC-2) can be considered when making long-term decisions regarding the effects of cathodic protection on composite repairs and the pipelines on which they are installed. This paper provides an innovative approach to test and validate the interactions of cathodic protection with several commercially available composite repair systems.

Product Number: MPWT19-14457

Author: Manuel Piva, Diego Lazzarin

Publication Date: 2019

$0.00

The Oil & Gas industry is showing a growing demand for systems and equipment that allow for quick repair interventions on damaged subsea pipelines. Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite wrapping systems have been introduced and accepted as alternative temporary repair systems. Composite wrapping is an efficient repair method and well established for onshore pipelines. It has been successfully extended offshore and, recently, for subsea in shallow water applications with divers. This paper provides a critical overview of the subject technique, including advantages over traditional repair methods, pipe defect applicability, reference standards and specific state-of-the-art technology. Composite wrapping solutions for diver-less and deep-water applications are not yet available on the market. Critical challenges to overcome in order to afford the use of this technology for these applications are outlined. A development project is currently ongoing to achieve a deep-water composite wrapping repair solution with the aim of proposing innovative and cost-effective methods in support of subsea asset Inspection, Maintenance and Repair (IMR).

Compostable VCI Film Brings Corrosion Protection "Back to Nature"

Product Number: 51324-20431-SG

Author: Djurin Antonia; Ming Shen; Dijana Zrinski; Julie Holmquist

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Presented here is a certified industrial compostable vapor phase corrosion inhibitor film that meets EN 13432/ASTM D6400 standards for commercial compostability. It passes NACE VIA (Vapor Inhibiting Ability) requirements and provides the same corrosion protection as conventional inhibitor film. But unlike conventional film going to a landfill or, worse, becoming ocean debris, this compostable film will biodegrade in an industrial compost site and go back to soil components without posing an ecotoxicity threat to plant growth. The paper will discuss the material's construction, mechanical properties, and corrosion performance. This film has been adopted successfully by a major European auto maker for shipping parts around the world.

In the realm of corrosion management, corrosion under insulation (CUI) poses significant challenges, particularly for facilities operating in cryogenic service. A comprehensive approach to understanding and mitigating CUI risks is crucial for ensuring asset integrity, safety, and operational efficiency. This paper presents an in-depth case study of a natural gas liquids (NGL) fractionation facility, demonstrating the successful implementation of a holistic CUI management strategy applicable to a broader industry context. Notably, the facility has faced unique challenges, as some circuits have not been shut down or inspected for the past 40 years. The paper details the extensive work carried out, encompassing risk mapping, mitigation strategies, inspection planning and prioritization, and repair planning. By adopting a systematic approach, the study effectively identifies and addresses CUI risks in the facility's cryogenic service operations. The results of this research contribute to the existing body of knowledge on CUI management in cryogenic service, offering a recommended path forward for the industry to tackle CUI-related issues. By showcasing a comprehensive and adaptable approach, this paper holds great potential to foster increased safety, reliability, and efficiency in the corrosion industry, paving the way for future research and collaboration.

Comprehensive Laboratory Analysis Of AC Coupon Test Stations

Product Number: 51322-18151-SG

Author: Mehrooz Zamanzadeh, Martin Latona, George Bayer, Anil Kumar Chikkam

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Several alternating current (AC) coupon test stations (CTS) located near AC power lines were investigated to assess the AC interference corrosion risk of the test coupons. Asstation consisted of two ½ inch (1.27 cm) diameter and 1received each AC test inch (2.54 cm) long carbon steel (CS ) coupons. Coupons are much larger than 1 cm ² and current density measurements are not 100% relatable to the SP21424 or ISO 18086 criteria, since these refer to measurements on (typically) 1 cm² . The current densities measured on the coupons in this study will underestimate the AC corrosion threat.

Computational Methods for Estimating Pipeline High Voltage Induction Susceptibility

Product Number: 51324-20738-SG

Author: Thomas Hayden; Christian Akuchie; Joseph Mazzella

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Estimating inductive corrosion susceptibility to pipeline systems from high-voltage transmission equipment is a well-studied problem. The mathematics for computing induced current is well known, dating back to fundamental 19th-century electromagnetism research. Yet, estimating induced current using those calculus-based equations is rarely done due to computational and data requirements. As such, most high-voltage induction risk studies use a series of approximations. The need for improved susceptibility estimation has expanded in the last two years alone. Due to economic and environmental concerns, governments and private organizations have begun re-investing resources in national electrical transmission networks. Furthermore, improved load-balancing techniques, new construction, environmental concerns, and dynamic line rating regulation have instantiated a more volatile problem for risk assessment. Computational technology is catching up, and there are powerful three-dimensional deterministic techniques for estimating corrosion susceptibility. This paper presents one approach using geospatial datasets to construct a digital twin and calculus-based methods to assess corrosion susceptibility. In addition, feature data and decoupler information from a North American pipeline operator is used to model current mitigation and grounding.
