The Temperature Functionality of Sensitized Stainless Steel SCC Growth in Deaerated Water

Product Number: ED22-17110-SG

The SCC of stainless steels has been an issue facing light water reactors (LWRs) since 1965 when sensitized components failed in the Dresden boiling water reactor (BWR). Numerous experimental efforts have been performed to characterize the SCC of stainless steel in LWRs in the last several decades and many of these efforts have been reported at each of the prior Environmental Degradation of Materials Conferences. Recent research has focused on characterizing SCCGR dependencies in hydrogen deaerated water. Testing of cold worked (CW) stainless steel has shown that heavily CW stainless steel has Arrhenius temperature functionality with a thermal activation energy of roughly 75 kJ/mol . In moderately to low CW stainless steel, a departure from Arrhenius temperature functionality is observed due to high temperature SCCGR retardation (HTR). This paper further extends this research and describes tests which were conducted to characterize the SCCGR temperature dependency of sensitized and CW 304 SS in hydrogenated water.

The thermal properties that influence the performance of insulation coatings used for personnel protection – redefining “Safe Touch”

Product Number: 51323-19531-SG

The majority of insulation coatings used today are used to provide personnel protection to workers in the oil and gas or chemicals industry. These coatings provide a reduction in surface temperature to help prevent burn injuries from accidental contact with a hot surface. Human burn hazard is defined in ASTM C1055-03 and this standard is used in conjunction with ASTM C1057-17 as a method of determining skin contact temperature from a heated surface.

Pallets have been used in transporting and storing goods such as consumables, food & beverages, and chemicals for many years. Pallets have multiple designs and dimensions and can be produced from multiple raw materials such as wood, plastic, and metal. The most common types of pallets are wooden and plastic, while wooden pallets have been used the longest and possess the largest share of the global market.

The Transient pH Distribution of the Electrolyte During Mg Galvanic Corrosion

Product Number: 51324-20878-SG

To better understand the Mg galvanic corrosion, a gel electrolyte was employed. The gel electrolyte was doped with a pH indicator, serving to unveil and monitor the development of alkaline fronts that evolve in parallel with the evolution of H2. Using RGB (Red, Green, Blue) image processing as a semi-quantitative technique, it became feasible to generate transient 2D maps with proper detail regarding the pH evolution into the electrolyte and to provide new information about the galvanic corrosion of Mg. Findings revealed a significant pH decrease in regions where Mg dissolution was more pronounced. A local anodic polarization was achieved by coupling magnesium with A97075. The findings suggest that Mg hydrolysis is responsible for the local pH drop. Additionally, a biunivocal correspondence has been established between the maximum pH value observed in the electrolyte and the specific location where the Mg(OH)2 compound is generated.

The Use of Composites in Facility Integrity Programs

Product Number: 51323-18976-SG

Author: Aleese Post, Casey Whalen

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

This paper will focus on the use of composites to repair and protect piping in the facility environments. Composites as a preventative option for location of soil-to-air interfaces and pipe support locations and the ability of composites to repair bends and restore the structural integrity of the facility piping will be discussed. Testing and currently in use examples will be used to show the benefit of composites in facility integrity systems, including the ability to keep the facility safe while avoiding a costly shutdown

Corrosion is a ubiquitous phenomenon, which can have massive impacts on the functioning of industrial assets. The threat of corrosion is exacerbated in situations where regular corrosion inspections are difficult. The Virtual Corrosion Engineer (VCE) Project within Shell is intended to offer a solution to this problem by automatically assessing the corrosion rates and threat levels in assets due to a variety of corrosion mechanisms. The VCE system has been deployed in an asset progressively since 2019.

Theory and testing of composite materials on Stress Corrosion Cracking

Product Number: 51323-19002-SG

Author: Casey Whalen, Omar Ramirez

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Stress Corrosion Cracking, or SCC, is part of a group of cracks commonly known as Environmental Cracking. Additional types of cracks found in this group include corrosion fatigue and hydrogen embrittlement. It is generally known that SCC requires three factors to be present to form and continue growing. The first is a susceptible material. In the world of pipelines, carbon steel is quite susceptible to corrosion when buried but is typically protected from this threat utilizing a combination of external coatings in cathodic protection.

Corrosion under thermal insulations namely CUI (Corrosion under insulation) is among the key degradations posing integrity risks to the hydrocarbon processing, chemical, and petrochemical facilities. CUI is reportedly known as the reason behind 40-60% of failures in the piping for the oil refineries. Whereas the small-bore piping (i.e., NPS< 4”) is more prone to this damage mechanism where reportedly where up to 81% of failure result from CUI.

Cryogenic vessels are specifically designed to store cryogenic liquids at very low temperatures, such as −196 °C for liquid N2, −252 °C for liquid H2, -160o C for LNG (liquified natural gas), etc. In case of Pentane/LPG (liquified petroleum gas), though the temperature is higher in the range of -7 to -23o C, cryogenic steel spherical vessels are used for storage as shown in Figure 1.

The large temperature difference between the internal cryogenic liquid and the external environment causes an extremely strong heat transfer between the two, which must be prevented by the thermal insulation material to ensure secure storage of the cryogenic liquid.
