Comparison of Zero VOC Xylene Substrates as Replacements for Xylene and Toluene

Product Number: 41215-920-SG

Author: David Pasin, Diego Lopez Arias

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Xylene and Toluene are used in the formulation of plastics, coatings, composites, and paints. However, Toluene is designated as a Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP), and Xylene is designated as both a HAP and an emitter of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). HAPs and VOCs are hazardous to human health and the environment and regulators are increasingly restricting their emission.

Complete Project Coating Inspection Includes Inspecting Shop Applied Coatings

Product Number: 51323-19217-SG

Author: Murray Heywood

Publication Date: 2023

$20.00

Critical procedures at blasting and coating shops and steel fabricating shops, include surface preparation, application of primer coats, often shop applications include intermediate coat application, as well as occasionally including topcoat application. These phases of the process are absolutely critical to the long-term success of coating/lining projects. If the industry is serious about quality, specifiers must include language in the project specifications to include mandatory independent qualified coating inspection during shop coating applications.

Complex Inorganic Colored Pigments and IR Reflective Pigments for Waterborne Coatings

Product Number: 51217-080-SG

Author: David White

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

As we continue to move towards a solvent free society and further into waterborne there are 2 classes of pigments that are more important than ever. Complex inorganic pigments and IR reflective pigments offer outstanding properties. The IR reflective pigments reduce the thermo binder degradation therefore giving the waterborne resins longer durability.

Composite Coatings: Basics of Fiber Reinforced Polymers for Pipe Repairs

Product Number: 51218-120-SG

Author: David A. Hunter

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

Composite coatings are a class of materials that are described as fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) that consist of extremely strong tensile fibers saturated in a binding resin. From the original development as tank bottom lining materials designed to handle surface movement and corrosion, the applications for composite coatings have broadened and moved into the mainstream, with industry-accepted design codes written around their uses and applications

Composite Repairs And Cathodic Protection

Product Number: 51322-17825-SG

Author: David B. Futch, Davie Peguero, ,\Casey Whalen, Stephen Barnett

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

The motivation for this work was to perform a comprehensive test program to investigate several commercially available composite repair systems and their interactions with cathodic protection. Multiple test methods were utilized to prove there remains a low probability of shielding for composites of typical thickness and in a typical environment. This work will also discuss how results from current industry qualification tests (such as those specified in ASME PCC-2) can be considered when making long-term decisions regarding the effects of cathodic protection on composite repairs and the pipelines on which they are installed. This paper provides an innovative approach to test and validate the interactions of cathodic protection with several commercially available composite repair systems.

Concrete Design Considerations And Surface Preparation Recommendations For High-Performance Protective Linings For Chemical Immersion And Containment Service In Water And Wastewater Treatment Facilities

Product Number: 51218-135-SG

Author: Vaughn O’Dea, David Liu

Publication Date: 2018

$20.00

Liquid-applied protective linings are commonly used to protect concrete structures found within water and wastewater treatment facilities. There are a number of referenced industry standards and guidelines detailing the construction of new concrete, evaluation of existing concrete, and surface preparation of concrete. This paper provides recommendations based on industry standards and related publications, as well as drawn from practical experience for preparing concrete for immersion conditions or chemical containment service in water and wastewater treatment.

Concrete Flooring Moisture Issues: Minimizing, Evaluation and Mitigation

Product Number: 41213-726-SG

Author: Frank Apicella, Fred Goodwin

Publication Date: 2013

$20.00

One of the greatest problems facing the flooring industry is moisture vapor emission associated with concrete floors. Coatings blister and peel, wood flooring warps and buckles, adhesives fail to perform and carpet grows mold costing millions of dollars in claims, repairs and serviceability issues. This paper will discuss the causes, evaluation and mitigation methods to address this issue.

Concrete Moisture & Testing: It’s All About Keeping Your Floors Above Water!

Product Number: 41214-865-SG

Author: Roland A. Vierra

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

Moisture problems are prevalent all over North America, almost independent of climate. With an understanding of moisture in concrete and the various test methods available to quantify that moisture, simple strategies to mitigate moisture problems can be employed. But a strategy cannot be employed if the moisture problem is never quantified. This presentation identifies the various types of moisture issues present day in and day out and outlines the methods available to discover hidden moisture conditions.

Condition Assessment of 66 kV Underground Transmission Lines in Concrete Vaults

Product Number: 51324-20826-SG

Author: Anil Kumar Chikkam; Aaron Ulmer; Nathan Pace; Mehrooz Zamanzadeh

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

This paper focuses on assessing the condition of steel pipe cable sections within concrete vaults, serving as protective covers for conductors transmitting up to 66,000 volts. To prevent internal corrosion and short circuits, these cables are filled with pressurized oil. However, water accumulation during storms frequently submerges the cables in water in the concrete vaults, presenting significant challenges for external corrosion protection. Through condition assessment, it was determined that the coating on the 6-5/8" (16.8 cm) diameter steel carrier pipe remained in satisfactory condition. However, the coating on the 14" (35.56 cm) diameter steel casing exhibited poor condition and no longer provided adequate corrosion protection. This paper investigates the underlying causes of premature coating failure and proposes a recommended coating system considering the elevated temperatures experienced by the pipe cables. The findings contribute to enhancing the durability and effectiveness of coatings for submerged steel pipe cables, addressing the challenges posed by water submersion and ensuring long-term corrosion protection. Also, we discuss the temperature and corrosion monitoring by wireless Sensor.

Conditioning Of Steel Surfaces With Various Abrasive Blast Media And Effect On Coating Performance

Product Number: 51322-17888-SG

Author: Andrew Recker, Darryl Corbin, Yuxin Zhai

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Over the past few decades surface preparation standards have been implemented to provide guidance on determining the necessary surface cleanliness for specific applications. Prior to such standards, surfaces were prepared as they saw fit at the time of application which created high variability in performance of the protective coating. Since the standards were developed, the resulting performance consistency has become increased significantly. Such standards discuss a visual inspection of the steel after an abrasive material has been used to remove scale, rust, and other discoloration soils.
