It is fair to say that maintenance in the worldwide oil and gas industry has changed dramatically over the past ten years. Facility owners are more than ever looking to reduce shutdown times, to improve plant efficiency and to extend plant lifetimes. With this comes the increased industry understanding about corrosion under insulation (CUI) with its deleterious impact and the ongoing desire for pragmatic high performance and cost-effective coating solutions.

A Road Map For Innovation In Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) In The Gas Pipeline

Product Number: 51322-18204-SG

Author: America A. Padilla-Viveros, Rigoberto Arroyo-Cortez

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

A recent review provided an overview of current microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) research. It established that despite extensive study and numerous publications, fundamental questions relating to MIC remain unanswered and stress the lack of information associated with MIC recognition, prediction, and mitigation (Little et al., 2020). On the other hand, bibliometric analysis on the MIC of engineering systems conducted a knowledge gap analysis to focus research efforts and to develop a roadmap for MIC research (Hashemi et al., 2018).

AMPP Guide 21569-2024, Guidance on Implementing Corrosion Control Methodologies to Align with New PHMSA Regulatory Procedures

Product Number: AMPP Guide 21569-2024

Publication Date: 2024

$109.00

In August 2022, the United States Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) revised the Federal Pipeline Safety Regulations to improve the safety of onshore gas transmission lines. PHMSA expects the new requirements will reduce the frequency and consequences of failures and incidents involving onshore natural gas transmission pipelines through earlier detection of threats to pipeline integrity, including those resulting from corrosion or extreme weather events. Additionally, revisions to the regulations address several other areas, including management of change processes, corrosion control, and criteria to repair pipelines. New corrosion control regulations were incorporated into the following sections of the United States Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 49, Part 192, Transportation of Natural and Other Gas by Pipeline: Minimum Federal Safety Standards: 192.319, 192.461, 192.465, 192.473, and 192.478. Additionally, revisions to Sections 192.485 and 192.714 include remedial measures for transmission lines impacted by corrosion.

PHMSA’s Regulation Identifier Number (RIN) 2137-AF39 entitled “Pipeline Safety: Safety of Gas Transmission Pipelines: Repair Criteria, Integrity Management Improvements, Cathodic Protection, Management of Change, and Other Related Amendments” (also known as RIN 2 or the Gas Mega Rule) increases pipeline safety regulatory requirements in 49 CFR 192 for operations, maintenance and integrity management.

AMPP QP21536-2023, QP BASE: Evaluating General Qualifications of Contractors Seeking QP Accreditation

Product Number: AMPP QP21536-2023

Publication Date: 2023

$109.00

This standard describes a method for evaluating the general qualifications of firms seeking accreditation under standards for contractor accreditation (hereafter “Qualification Program [QP] standards”).

This is not a standalone standard, as it is intended to be used in conjunction with other standards that incorporate it by reference. The purpose of this standard is to determine whether a contractor:

Has a corporate organization that clearly defines the authority and responsibilities of positions typically required for operation of a contracting firm;
Employs qualified management and utilizes qualified craft personnel and other workers;
Has established and implemented a quality management system meeting the requirements of the referencing QP standard;
Has established and implemented a written worker safety and health program meeting requirements of the referencing QP standard;
Has established and implemented environmental protection procedures meeting requirements of the referencing QP standard;
Demonstrates knowledge of industry technical standards and good practice.

Keywords: coating contractor qualification procedure, accreditation of coating contractors, QP, field coating work, qualification procedure base, QP Base.

AMPP SP21443-2021, Coating Systems (External) for Pipeline Trenchless Crossings

Product Number: AMPP SP21443-2021

Publication Date: 2021

$109.00

This standard is intended for use by corrosion control personnel, design engineers, project managers, purchasers, and construction engineers, and managers. It is applicable to underground steel pipelines in the oil and gas gathering, distribution, and transmission industries.

This standard describes methods for qualifying and controlling the quality of fusion-bonded epoxy (FBE) pipe coatings, urethane coatings, epoxy-urethanes, shrink sleeves (special applications), two-part liquid epoxies, and other properly qualified coatings (as long as the proper parameters are met in accordance with this document, e.g., polyolefin, three-layer coatings), provides guidelines for the proper application, and identifies inspection and repair techniques to achieve the best application of plant- and field-applied coating systems.

AMPP SP21466-2024, Materials Sustainability Framework Based on Corrosion Management System

Product Number: AMPP SP21466-2024

Publication Date: 2024

$109.00

This standard aims to provide a framework for users and their respective organizations in assessing both the material sustainability and material stewardship of their operations using recognized industrial methods, resources, and practices built on the corrosion management framework. Some of these methods, resources, and practices are already covered in the corrosion management system framework; however, some are expanded upon within this standard using a material sustainability maturity model beyond the corrosion management framework. Therefore, this standard aims to empower material and corrosion professionals to better deliver value from a life cycle and circular economy standpoint while leveraging existing and emerging tools to support assets, operations, enterprises, stakeholders, and communities through the value chain.

AMPP TM21451-2023, Evaluation of Carbon and Low-Alloy Steels for Resistance to Stress-Oriented Hydrogen-Induced Cracking (SOHIC)

Product Number: AMPP TM21451-2023

Publication Date: 2023

$109.00

Carbon and low-alloy steels in plate form and their welded products may be susceptible to one or more forms of environmental cracking when exposed to wet H₂S service conditions. These include, for example, (1) sulfide stress cracking (SSC) of hard zones and welds; (2) hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC) in the parent metal; and (3) stress-oriented hydrogen-induced cracking (SOHIC) in the region adjacent to welds of nominally acceptable hardness. Extensive work has been conducted over many years to understand various fundamental and applied aspects of these phenomena. Experiences in refinery wet H₂S operations have directed particular attention to understanding SOHIC and the various metallurgical and environmental parameters that govern its occurrence.

Scope

This standard was prepared to provide a test method for consistent evaluation of pipeline and pressure vessel steels to SOHIC caused by hydrogen absorption from aqueous sulfide corrosion. The test conditions are not designed to simulate any specific service environment. The test is intended to evaluate resistance to SOHIC only, and not to other adverse effects of sour environments such as sulfide stress cracking (SSC), pitting, or mass loss from corrosion.
