Author: Joe Reardon

Publication Date: 2012

$20.00

The benefits of concrete floor polishing include creation of a durable finish with modest maintenance requirements and compliance with principals of green construction. At the same time, however, there must be rigorous adherence to proper procedures in the creation of a concrete polished finish. The presentation describes the benefits of polished concrete and explains what can go wrong and why it sometimes happens.

HIC Resistance Testing of Flexible Pipes Pressure Armor in H2S-Containing Environments

Product Number: 51319-13368-SG

Author: Jonas Sá

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

Flexible pipes may be exposed to high pressures during deep-water operation. Pressure armor layer is designed to withstand the hoop stress that is caused by the inner fluid pressure. It is wound around an internal polymer sheath to isolate it from production gases and fluids. However wear and tear damage or even diffusion may cause gas or fluid buildup in the annulus exposing the pressure armor to environments that may contain H2S. Depending on the mechanical properties and microstructure of the steel the absorption of hydrogen generated by corrosion in a H2S-containing environment can lead to the failure of these layers. Hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) tests will be carried out in H2S-containing environments in order to assess the resistance to HIC of two pressure armor wires (with distinct microstructures). The tests will be carried out for different durations in order to investigate crack growth. After each test the specimens will be examined by visual and ultrasonic inspection followed by sectioning of the specimens at any suspicious regions with subsequent metallographic examination of the cut faces.

High Level Corrosion Risk Assessment Methodology For Refined Hydrocarbon Products

Product Number: 51319-13047-SG

Author: Mushaid Nauman

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

Assessing corrosion risks and developing inspection and mitigation measures forms a vital part of any Asset Integrity Management (AIM) system. Improving asset reliability is crucial as the risks attached with the asset failure can be catastrophic in terms of human life environment and monetary loss. Knowledge about the asset degradation mechanisms affects critical decisions regarding maintenance inspection regimes and investment plans. Typically less than 10% of assets carry 95% of the risk thus making higher knowledge of individual “asset” integrity key to minimizing risk across any one business system. Achieving this highest possible performance of an asset against the lowest possible costs whilst ensuring safe operation is a challenge faced by many operators. Most of the emphasis from operators is given to upstream and processing facilities that hold a valid high in service deterioration risk because they face harsh and corrosive conditions. However the facilities installed downstream in particular the storage and transport of refined hydrocarbon products are often considered in the same “fit and forget” philosophy. Operators often apply makeshift solutions in case of any failure but problems can recur which besides denting the operational excellence can affect the environment and safety.Refined hydrocarbon products such as Jet A1 LPG and ULG 91/95 etc. are not generally corrosive to the metals and alloys that are used for their storage and transport; however they do contain dissolved water organic sulphides and oxygen containing compounds that can cause corrosion over the time. Conventional corrosion prediction models are not relevant since the acid gases are not present. In order to overcome this limitation and to allow corrosion risk assessment of both existing and aging facilities an alternative in-house corrosion risk assessment methodology has been developed. This methodology helps in order to dilute the corrosion risks associated with these facilities in a well-structured process as practiced for one of the major operators in the Middle East. This paper discusses the methodology used to model the corrosion rates and risk assessment involving both probability and consequences within these product streams.Key Words: jet A1 unleaded gasoline (ULG) liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) oxygen flowrate carbon dioxide (CO2) hydrogen sulphide (H2S)

High Quality CRA solutions by Electro Slag Process for Austenitic Stainless Steels, 625 & 825 Single & Multiple Layer Solutions

Product Number: MPWT19-14343

Author: JP Van Nieuwenhoven

Publication Date: 2019

$0.00

Within many features of the Electro Slag Strip Cladding (ESSC) technique, one of the most attractive is the opportunity to achieve a required clad metal chemical analysis in one single layer. All these CRA 308L, 316L, 347, 625 & 825 types frequently concern fabricators who are constantly demanding for ways to reduce production costs & thicknesses of CRA. Hence, new low dilution and high-travel speed solutions have been developed with the aim to reduce the thickness and/or the number of layers in order to answer to industry expectations in terms of productivity. Through controlling dilution with the parent metal and balancing the chemistry by means of the new fluxes, it has been possible to achieve high quality results with an iron content Fe <7% & Fe < 10% for 625 cladding in a single layer where traditional ESSC requires two layers for the same objective. Also, for Alloy 825, single and thin layer solutions have been achieved. This subject presents an overview of these new developments with details on the applied welding conditions and the quantitative results achieved, showing benefits in terms of material savings and productivity gains.

High Sensitive Sensors for Collection of Cathodic Polarization Data and Determination of Protection Potential Criteria of Buried Structures

Product Number: 51319-12896-SG

Author: Erwan Diler

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

The installation of metallic coupons in the vicinity of buried pipes under cathodic protection (CP) allows theoretically to measure the potential and the current density through the simulated coating defect. Nevertheless this type of monitored coupon does not provide direct information on the actual efficiency of the CP and corrosion rates that could be caused by a CP failure over time or not adapted CP design. According to the soil resistivity and the corrosion potential in absence of CP a protection potential is generally targeted following the standard recommendations. However the soil resistivity as well as the corrosion potential might depend on the seasonal fluctuations and the protection potential might vary as function of the considered standard. Moreover all soils parameters cannot be considered in recommendations from standards and cathodic protection criteria can be sometimes debatable.In this study very sensitive electrical resistance (ER) sensors allowing obtaining precise corrosion data in real-time were adapted for soil applications. They were used in the selected soils and conditions to determine the off potential and current density corresponding to a corrosion rate of 10 µm/year which corresponds to the maximal corrosion rate of buried structures considered as protected according the standard ISO 15589-1:2015. The adapted ER sensors appeared to be particularly suitable for determining the protection potential and CP criteria in a relatively short time. For the tested soils and conditions the results showed that the cathodic protection criteria recommended in ISO 15589-1: 2015 are conservative compared to those measured experimentally. This method therefore seems particularly relevant for the determination of the protection potential in complex or polluted media in the absence of data in the literature.

High Temperature Corrosion And Stress Corrosion Investigations Of SS316 In Molten Nitrate Salt

Solar Salt has many desirable properties as an intermediate heat transfer fluid including low corrosion rates (<10 μm/yr) at temperatures (T) <600°C, high oxidizing power for capturing tritium, low melting point, and relatively low cost. However, higher temperatures (T > 600°C) and other factors e.g., high flow rates, can significantly increase corrosion rates.
