The Manufacturer’s Standard Coating System - What it can Mean to the Stake-Holders in the Equipment Purchasing Process

Product Number: 41216-981-SG

Author: Kristin Leonard

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Often times, protective coatings for equipment and packages come as an afterthought; therefore, a Coatings Specialist is not always included in early purchasing discussions. Lack of the Coating Specialist participation in the preliminary workflow does not necessarily equate directly to a “bad outcome”, however there are fundamental details which, if highlighted early, can make a significant difference in the procurement process resulting in cost savings and competitive bids.

The Principles of Working at Heights

Product Number: 41216-942-SG

Author: Muhanad Mino Alkhawam

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

The use of fall protection equipment is very common nowadays. Still, however, many users do not know the basics of fall protection or the why and how this equipment function. Safety in general depends a lot on the use of common sense and proper due diligence. Understanding the risk of falling will lead us to be safe. It is a fact that we are all exposed to Gravity at all times 24/7; and we, humans in general, take little or no protection and precaution against gravity. The reality is that falls are never expected.

Traffic Bearing Coating Systems in the Parking Structure Market

Product Number: 41216-979-SG

Author: Mosby Wiley Lawrence IV

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

The program focuses on aiding an engineer, contractor, or decision maker in selecting the most appropriate type of traffic bearing coating system for a given application for parking structures. The program reviews the various type of traffic bearing coating systems that are offered in today’s market, the pros and cons of each and how the parking structure construction type (precast, cast in place, etc.) may affect performance of these systems.

Translational Corrosion Science

Product Number: 41216-959-SG

Author: D. Dunmire, G. Keller

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Translational Corrosion Science, the subject of the SSPC 2015 presentation by the Department of Defense Corrosion (DoD) Prevention and Control Program, is a science-based process to accelerate the development and application of high-quality solutions to difficult material degradation problems, and to do so more economically. DoD has launched the translational corrosion science program, assisted by the National Defense University and Potomac Institute for Policy Studies, to fully develop the process concept and to implement the approach.

Trends in Tank Lining Test Methodology for Oil and Gas Service

Product Number: 41216-972-SG

Author: David Hunter

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Changing conditions in the Oil and Gas industry are yielding greater corrosion protection challenges to the owners and operators of refineries, terminals, pipelines, railcars etc. Internal lining schemes which have traditionally been used for the storage and transport of crude oil and refined fuels may no longer be appropriate. The aggressive nature of crude oil (higher temperatures and more sour nature), high purity refined products and the increased use of biofuels globally necessitate the demand for better linings and more certain test results.

Tungsten Carbide High Velocity Thermal Spray Coatings in the Oil & Gas Industry

Product Number: 51216-006-SG

Author: Herman E. Amaya, Lee Schmerling

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

This paper will explore several variables which affect the tungsten carbide coating material deposited by a high velocity thermal spray process (HVTS) on Oil & Gas components such as valve sealing components (gate, ball, seat) and on other equipment (pistons for example on BOP’s or Blow Out Preventers). The purpose of coating these components is to gain wear/abrasion resistance as well as to impart some corrosion resistance.

Two-Coat Polyaspartic Urethane Coatings Protect Virginia Steel Bridges for Over a Decade

Product Number: 41216-994-SG

Author: Ahren Olson, Todd Williams, Mark Hudson, C. Wayne Fleming

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

In 2003 Connecticut Department of Transportation (DOT) conducted a study to quantify the throughput and cost savings potential of a PAS two-coat system versus a three-coat system. The study showed that a PAS two-coat system had a 31% increase in productivity and direct cost savings of approximately $6 per square foot, with indirect cost savings of $18 per square foot when including the benefits of reduced traffic congestion.17 PAS two-coat systems utilize a zinc-rich primer for galvanic protection; the epoxy and polyurethane layers are replaced by a high-build PAS topcoat.

Ultra-Low VOC Waterborne Alkyd Coatings with Exceptional Corrosion Resistance

Product Number: 51216-018-SG

Author: Erin Vogel, Bob Bills, Marty Beebe, Christina Ellison, Jamie Sullivan, Vennesa Williams

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Solventborne alkyd resins are widely used in industrial coatings because of their excellent gloss, good adhesion and wetting properties as well as excellent compatibility with other resin types. In many regions, however, the consumption of alkyds is diminishing as stringent environmental regulations drive the coatings industry towards lower volatile organic compound (VOC) systems. Waterborne (WB) coating systems have replaced some solventborne (SB) alkyd paints; however, these WB coatings typically do not offer the same performance as their solventborne counterparts.

Understanding the Effects of NaCl Concentration on Zinc Phosphate Pigment Morphology and Composition by Advection Through Phenoxy Thermoplastic Free Films

Product Number: 41216-946-SG

Author: Robert C. Bennett, Greg Curtzwiler, Christina Konecki, Dilhan Fernando, James W. Rawlins

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Corrosion is a major concern for all materials during their service lives. In particular, salts such as sodium chloride (NaCl) are known to promote corrosion and detrimentally affect coating performance. Understanding how NaCl affects water uptake into a film and its interactions with corrosion-inhibiting pigments is important for developing the next generation of anticorrosive coatings.

Unique Application of an Epoxy Repair Gel to Eliminate Draft Tube Surface Wear and Cavitation, potentially Improving Turbine Power Generation Efficiency

Product Number: 41216-976-SG

Author: Norm Klapper

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

A unique project was completed in Mid-2014 at the Powerhouse #3, Turbine Unit #23 refurbishment, Grand Coulee Dam, located in Washington State. The project scope includes a complete overhaul of the turbine bearings, windings, and critical components. As part of the overall scope, the contractor was charged with the task of coating the entire draft tube surface with an epoxy gel. The Bureau of Reclamation, based in Denver, Colorado, had conducted a site survey which indicated severe wear lines, which result in cavitation and the accompanying backpressure on the exiting water outflow to the Columbia River.

Using Forensic Science to Determine Causes of Failures of Polymeric Coatings

Product Number: 41215-875-SG

Author: Jon Asselanis

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Often when a polymeric flooring system fails, the cause of the problem is unknown. Forensic testing is used to determine the cause of failure while eliminating other potential causes. A basic understanding of the approach to a forensic investigation and the types of testing used will help aid in correcting the problem so future failures and project costs are reduced.
