This standard test method describes a quality assurance procedure for determining the potential and current capacity characteristics under laboratory conditions for aluminum and zinc alloy anodes used for cathodic protection (CP). Field performance of anodes should be evaluated to correspond to actual anode performance.
This standard is intended primarily for users, designers, and manufacturers involved with the application of CP in marine environments. This standard can be used by manufacturers and users of aluminum and zinc anodes for quality control verification. The most common usage is expected to be by manufacturers to meet quality control requirements requested by the purchasing user.

HISTORICAL DOCUMENT. This standard describes a test method to screen scale inhibitors for their ability to prevent precipitation of BaSO4 or SrSO4, or both, from oilfield brines. This standard test method is intended to provide the user with a relative and quantitative measure of the ability of scale inhibitors to prevent (1) the formation and (2) the precipitation of solid BaSO4 or SrSO4, or both, which are necessary and critical stages in scale deposition
Mineral scale may be defined as an adherent deposit of predominantly inorganic compounds. A common process leading to scale formation is the precipitation of sparingly soluble salts from oilfield brines. Some oilfield brines contain sufficient sulfate ions (SO42-) in the presence of barium ions (Ba2+) or strontium ions (Sr2+), or both, that the potential for forming barium sulfate (BaSO4) scale or strontium sulfate (SrSO4) scale, or both, exists due to changes in physical or chemical conditions. Often the formation of scale results in reduced production and increased maintenance costs. In some locations, naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) have been found to incorporate themselves into the scale. This complication may result in significant health, safety, and liability concerns and increased scale disposal costs.
HISTORICAL DOCUMENT. Conducting four-point bend tests to evaluate resistance of metals to sulfide stress and stress corrosion cracking. Determine aggressiveness of environments. Qualify and rank metals for service
Test methods designed to provide a relative and quantitative measure of the abilities of scale inhibitors to prevent the precipitation of solids, a necessary and critical stage in the formation of scale.
HISTORICAL DOCUMENT. Test method for evaluating the application of polymeric coatings of less than 250 µm (10 mils) dry-film thickness to the internal surfaces of metallic tubular goods used in the oil and gas industry.
This nondestructive test method describes a procedure to detect discontinuities (“holidays”) in thin-film polymeric coatings of less than 330 µm (13 mils) dry film thickness (DFT) applied to the internal surfaces of metallic tubular goods used in the oil and gas industry. The apparatus and the recommended procedure for performing the test are described, as are methods of reporting the test data.
A separate test method, NACE TM0186, addresses holiday detection of internal tubular good coatings of 330 to 760 µm (13 to 30 mils) dry-film thickness.
The purpose of this AMPP test method is to standardize the testing methods and conditions used to determine the substrate and surface temperature limits for different thicknesses of insulative coatings used for personnel protection to be in compliance with ASTM C1055. The temperature limits determined when using this test method are specific for each coating tested at a particular thickness and substrate temperature. A standardized test method can validate the temperature limits of a coating used for personnel protection and enable direct comparison of its performance to other commercially available coatings. This test method is intended for use by facility owners, engineers, health and safety specialists, coatings manufacturers, and other interested parties.
HISTORICAL DOCUMENT. The purpose of this NACE International standard test method is to specify test methods and test conditions used to evaluate thermal properties, insulation values, and performance/integrity before and after thermal aging of insulative coatings. Testing for corrosion resistance is not included in this test method.
This technical report describes the associated corrosion mechanisms in refinery crude distillation unit (CDU) distillation tower overhead systems and current industry practices for mitigating or controlling this corrosion. Distillation towers in a typical CDU include a pre-flash tower, an atmospheric tower, and a vacuum tower. Feedstock, unit configurations, and associated process variables are addressed, from the crude oil storage tanks to the distillation tower overhead drums.
The design of corrosion tests and computer corrosion rate simulations that do not incorporate the concepts of non-ideal chemistry can introduce very significant errors to the results.
