Coating Condition Surveys

Product Number: 51324-20828-SG

Author: Griffin Collins; Cortney Chalifoux

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

A coating maintenance strategy for aging military infrastructure and utilities systems is vital for the long-term performance of the asset. Integrity maintenance plans can enhance risk mitigation and mitigate costly environmental impacts. No well-developed maintenance strategy is complete without the implementation of periodic coating inspection and assessments, collectively referred to as Coating Condition Surveys (CCS), guided by United Facilities Criteria (UFC) and United Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS). Regularly scheduled CCSs provide key information that not only helps owners better understand their assets, but also help engineers, specifiers, coatings applicators, and inspectors better perform their roles in corrosion mitigation. Additionally, the information provided by a CCS aids owners in making budgeting decisions for maintenance, helps designers plan for future repairs and inspections, and provides coatings contractors a clear understanding of the repairs necessary to extend the service life of an asset. This discussion will outline methods involved in performing on-site inspections and highlight the necessity of on-site inspections in corrosion mitigation. While this discussion will focus on inspection and repair strategies for existing coatings on steel substrates, the strategies outlined can be applied to enhance maintenance strategies of all infrastructure subject to corrosion.

Coating Conductance Characterization Using Trenchless Crossing Data

Product Number: 51324-21037-SG

Author: Daniel Fingas

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Coating resistance or conductance values are critical input parameters for the accurate modelling and design of AC mitigation and cathodic protection (CP) systems for pipelines. However, there are relatively few sources for real-world coating resistance values in the literature. To attempt to fill this gap, data from coating quality tests performed on thousands of trenchless pipeline installations was used to characterize the coating resistance of new, primarily fusion bonded epoxy (FBE)-coated pipelines. The tests assess damage incurred as part of the trenchless installations and cover the full range from pristine coating to significant scratches with bare metal. This allows the dataset to provide insight into both a baseline for open-trench coating quality and a range of practical coating qualities for trenchless installations. It was found that specific coating resistance values varied from less than 100 O·m2 to >1 MO·m2 but that there was no specific threshold that could be associated with pristine FBE coating. However, the data clearly validated the ‘300 mV shift’ design guideline for CP systems, which also demonstrates the link between CP current requirement and coating quality. Considering this, the implication of requiring a certain current density irrespective of coating quality is illustrated.

Coating Failure Over Gaps and Fasteners

Product Number: 51217-043-SG

Author: Aaron J. Feickert , S.G. Croll

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

The application of paints and other coatings over joints, gaps, and fasteners is universal in industrial applications. Where substrate flexing occurs, such as in aerospace and automotive use, an understanding of strains within such systems is essential. Results of finite-element analysis of various two- and three-dimensional models of coated joints are presented here.

Coating Inspection Data Reproducibility

Product Number: 41210-523-SG

Author: J. Peter Ault

Publication Date: 2010

$20.00

An NSRP-sponsored project investigating the cost of coatings QA suggested that current QA/QC processes have a high tendency to lead to conflict. Survey data collected during the project indicates that one in 20 inspection checkpoints is likely to result in a dispute. Some of these disputes may simply arise from the expected variability in standard coating QA test methods. Data regarding the reproducibility of coating QA measurements is generally not well understood and, in some cases non-existent. The paper will discuss the reproducibility of various measurements used in the industrial protective coatings industry.

Coating Modern Wind Turbines - How Hard Can it Be?

Product Number: 51216-009-SG

Author: Benedicte Riise Sørensen, Morten Juul Høiås

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Wind has been used as an energy source for centuries. Although the first wind turbines were built at end of the 19th century, the modern wind power industry, as we know it today, didn’t emerge until a century later. Today these wind turbines have an expected lifetime of up to 25 years. In addition, they are often placed offshore or in rugged terrain, making repairs extremely difficult and costly. There is a need for both tremendous corrosion and erosion protection to achieve the required lifetime expectancy.

Coating Potable Water Storage Tanks utilizing Plural Component Spray Equipment

Product Number: 41208-422-SG

Author: Robin Hasak

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

Current and future coating restrictions that reduce atmospheric emissions as well as the potential for the leaching of chemicals into drinking water systems are pushing tank owners and/or specifiers towards the use of 100% Solids by Volume (SBV) coatings. A majority of these high solids coatings whether epoxy, polyurethane, or polyurea, can or should be and in some instances must be, applied using Plural Component (PC) spray equipment.

As the use of alternative deck building products gains increased momentum, the need for protecting a deck’s surface remains crucial and becomes more complex. Composites and hardwoods have characteristics different from those of traditional pressure treated wood or cedar; and methods of coating and protecting these surfaces are different from traditional treated wood, yet also essential.

Product Number: 41216-952-SG

Author: Richard Burgess

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Fabricators and Construction Firms rely on sub-tier vendors to supply a vast array of components and equipment for integration into the products they are supplying their clients. This may include valves, engines, motors, power supplies, tanks, tubs, vessels and other numerous items. The items and components provided by sub-tier vendors are normally prepared and coated prior to being delivered with what are typically referred to as original equipment manufacturer (OEM) coating systems.
