Calibration, Verification, and Adjustment: Ensuring Accurate Inspection Measurements

Product Number: 51219-175-SG

Author: Markus Bieber

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

Measuring physical parameters such as coating thickness, surface profile, and dew point is a common task for inspectors and applicators. However, those measurements are only as accurate as the instrument that performs them. Even high-quality electronic instruments can yield incorrect measurements.

Coating Work by Sub-tier vendors the Good, the Bad and the Smulgy

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.

Concrete Coating Finish Texture (CFT): SSPC Standard for Texture Categories

Product Number: 51219-205-SG

Author: Tom Murphy

Publication Date: 2019

$20.00

High performance concrete coatings are frequently applied with a grade of texture to improve traction and safety. The finished texture is dependent upon the size and type of aggregate, application method and density, and the amount of topcoat applied over the texture. Defining the degree of texture within a specification and translating the description to installation has typically been left to individual interpretations.

Developments in Testing Standards and Test Equipment for Discontinuities (Porosity) in Coatings

Product Number: 41208-416-SG

Author: John Fletcher

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

Testing cured coatings for flaws and defects is often a crucial part of the acceptance process for a coating assessed against its specification. This is particularly the case for pipeline and storage tank coatings and for coatings applied for corrosion protection, where discontinuities in the coating can lead to premature failure.

Fluorescent (OAP) Coatings Inspection Safety

Product Number: 41213-750-SG

Author: David H. Sliney, Terry L. Lyon, Paul D. Gossen

Publication Date: 2013

$20.00

The Optically Active Pigmented (OAP) coatings inspection process was developed by NAVSEA around 2004 to increase the speed and accuracy of tank coatings inspections. In an OAP inspection, violet LED inspection lights illuminate special tank coatings that fluoresce to increase the contrast between coated and uncoated steel.

Fundamentals of Making Good Decisions in Coatings Selection: Interpreting the Hidden Aspects of Accelerated Test Results

Product Number: 41212-722-SG

Author: Allen Zielnik

Publication Date: 2012

$20.00

When selecting among decorative or functional/protective architectural coatings many factors need to be considered; one key aspect is how long the product will last (weather). A “ten year” warranty is neither a guarantee of total replacement cost nor that all “ten year” products are created equal.

GS-11/GS-3 Paints Revision

Product Number: 41208-414-SG

Author: Chris Fisher

Publication Date: 2008

$20.00

Green Seal is modifying its coating standard, GS-11, to reflect today’s environmental concerns. The biggest area of concern is greenhouse gases, global warming, energy conservation and Urban Heat Islands which is referenced under the Kyoto Treaty, EPA Clean Air Act, California AB 32, Title 24 and other air quality legislation. Green Seal can address these concerns by including a new energy-efficient requirement in to its new coating standards.

Increasing Weathering Test Acceleration Through higher Irradiance

Product Number: 41214-873-SG

Author: Allen F. Zienik

Publication Date: 2014

$20.00

While real time outdoor weathering exposures in benchmark climates, such as South Florida, are highly recommended for determining coating performance and service lifetimes, the lengthy test times required are often problematic. Therefore, outdoor and laboratory artificial accelerated weathering testing has become a mainstay in coatings testing, particularly in the product development phase.

Inspecting Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel

Product Number: 41216-960-SG

Author: Bernardo Duran

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Engineers, architects, DOTs, and other specifiers use hot dip galvanizing to provide corrosion protection to steel and iron in many industries, including transportation and highway, parking garages, bridges, structural, agricultural, petrochemical, and original equipment manufacturing. To ensure continued corrosion protection and structural integrity in these industries, it is necessary to properly inspect the galvanizing.
