A Novel Methodology For Addressing Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) Utilizing Corrosion Inhibitor Impregnated Self-Amalgamating Silicone Based Tape

Product Number: 51322-17931-SG

Author: Phillip Low

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Integrity management of corrosion under insulation (CUI) has historically and continues to be one of the biggest corrosion related challenges within the oil & gas, maritime, chemical and petrochemical industries.² Corrosion of piping, associated flanges, pressure vessels and structural components from CUI is a commonly found phenomenon and if left undetected or not stringently managed can result in catastrophic leaks or explosions, equipment failure and periods of prolonged downtime due to repair or replacement. It is estimated around 40% to 60% of an operator’s pipeline maintenance budget is a result of CUI.³

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).

AC Corrosion of Pipelines-Chapter 2: Sources and Principles of AC Interfernce

Product Number: 37656-Ch02

$55.00

One of AMPP's best-selling titles, AC Corrosion of Pipelines, covers the essential topics related to AC corrosion of pipelines, a problem affecting the safety and reliability of underground pipelines.

Chapter 2, "Sources and Principles of AC Interference," is an introduction to the wide variety of sources generating AC interference and the main principles of the interference. The generation of AC interference under steady-state operation and the fault conditions are detailed. In particular, the modes and mechanisms of AC interference (i.e., capacitive coupling, resistive coupling, inductive coupling, etc.) are reviewed systematically for educational and practical purposes.

Adhesion Measurements of Coatings on Cylindrical Steel Pipes: Variability & Significance

Product Number: 41214-815-SG

Author: S. G. Croll, B. D. Keil

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

Quality assurance of coatings on steel water pipes commonly relies on tensile pull-off measurements of the coating-steel adhesion, according to ASTM D4541. These tests are performed by adhering a metal ‘dolly’ to the coating with an adhesive, then scoring around the dolly circumference, through the coating down to the steel surface, before recording the stress necessary to pull the dolly (and coating) away from the steel pipe.

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 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 SP21513-2021, Procedure for Determining Conformance to Concrete Surface Profile Requirements

Product Number: AMPP SP21513-2021

Publication Date: 2021

$109.00

This standard describes a procedure suitable for laboratory and field use to determine conformance to specified surface profile on concrete substrates using Method 1: Depth micrometer as described in ASTM D8271, Method 2: Concrete Surface Profile (CSP) Chips (CSP 1-10) as described in ICRI Guideline No. 310.2R, or Method 3: Replica putty as described in ASTM D7682 (Method 3A-visual or Method 3B-quantitative).

Proper bonding of coatings and linings to concrete surfaces requires proper cleaning and frequently requires the concrete to be roughened to increase the surface area. The roughness, also known as surface profile, can be imparted into concrete by abrasive or water blast cleaning, acid etching or various impact/scarifying power tools. The resulting surface profile depth can influence coating/lining adhesion and performance. Coating/lining manufacturers and/or facility owners frequently specify cleaning and roughening of the concrete surface prior to product installation.

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.
