Acceptance Testing for Coatings in Insulated Service

Product Number: 51217-057-SG

Author: Michael F. MeLampy

Publication Date: 2017

$20.00

Generic descriptions of a coating material does not always ensure that it will perform in the CUI service. Testing and acceptance criteria will help owners to ensure that specific coating materials can provide service as required in industrial CUI environments. The intent of these test procedures is not to rank coatings, but test and accept coatings for use in specifications for actual application.

Challenges and Insights behind Qualifying a Protective Coating as a Corrosion under Insulation Preventive Coating

Product Number: 51324-20774-SG

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) poses a severe threat to many industries operating at elevated temperatures. One of the most used and most cost-effective methods to mitigate and prevent CUI is by the use of organic coatings. In the last decades the importance of CUI-preventive coatings has increased greatly, and standards for testing these coatings have been published and discussed. At the end of 2018 the ISO 19277 standard was published, forming the first internationally accepted standard for testing and qualifying coating systems for CUI protection. Over the last years an extensive amount of testing has been performed to test and qualify coating systems, but also to provide insight and knowledge about the correlations and differences between various CUI test methods. In this paper, we will present a variety of test results to show how complex it is to qualify coatings to prevent CUI occurring. How do we use the library of results we now have? What does it tell us about real life? Do the various standards give the same conclusions based on the results? Some questions will be answered, and some will be left open.

Cost Effective Surface Preparation for Coating Performance, Corrosion Protection and Long Service Life

Product Number: 41207-376-SG

Author: Hugh J Roper

Publication Date: 2007

$20.00

This presentation will outline the results and conclusions of a number of years of testing and experience in surface preparation for high-performance coatings. Testing has shown that there are several important variables that are not routinely monitored and controlled on most coating projects. The pertinent variables will be identified, and guidance will be provided on appropriate treatment of the variables to achieve the maximum results from the chosen coating.

Evaluation of Coatings for High-Temperature Process Vessel Applications

Product Number: 51324-20612-SG

Author: Bing Yuan; Muni Ramakrishnan

Publication Date: 2024

$40.00

Offshore process vessels of the oil/gas industry operate at high temperatures and sometimes high pressure. Protective coatings designed for high-temperature vessels need to withstand very high temperatures, e.g., higher than 200°C (392oF). The evaluation and determination of their fitness for use at such high-temperature conditions are challenging. In this paper, we demonstrated the use of multiple analytical methods (DMA, DSC, Dilatometer) in the investigation and characterization of structure stabilities of protective coatings in high temperature environment. We analyzed 3 coating samples by DMA with temperature ramping, thermal cycling experiments and thermal stress test. The results of DMA, combined with that from DSC, Dilatometer and mechanical tests provided us deep understanding of high temperature properties of the 3 coating samples. The study also explained the cause of cracking failures of 2 of the samples at different high temperature conditions. The methodology of this paper provides a good way to guide future development work and failure root cause analysis of protective coatings for high temperature applications.

Hubble Bubble Tests and Trouble: The Dark Side of Misreading the Relevance of Coating Testing

Product Number: 41210-558-SG

Author: Mike O’Donoghue, V.J. Datta, Mike Winter, Carl Reed

Publication Date: 2010

$20.00

Aside from the use of successful track records, it is commonplace for coating specifications to be written based upon test criteria deemed important by specification authorities. But are the tests relevant to the intended service environment? Or has the meaning of the test data been misinterpreted? Perhaps the tests have been ascribed a level of accuracy and dependency that the test method simply cannot deliver. These are vital factors to be considered if a coating specification is to be supported in a meaningful way and to prevent all sorts of problems.

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.

Isocyanate Free Polyurthane Coatings for Industrial Metal Applications

Product Number: 41215-921-SG

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Two component polyurethane coatings are used in a variety of applications including industrial maintenance. These coating systems were introduced in the 1970’s primarily as topcoats; characterized by their excellent weatherability, toughness, and chemical and stain resistance. When formulated as ambient cured systems, traditional two component polyurethanes typically sacrifice cure time for pot life unless plural component application equipment is employed.

New Advances in Epoxy Protective Coatings

Product Number: 41216-983-SG

Author: James McCarthy

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Epoxy coatings are a mainstay of the protective and marine coatings markets. Used as intermediate coats over inorganic and organic zinc rich primers or used as direct-to-metal primers in coating systems, epoxy coatings are widely recognized for their versatility and the excellent corrosion resistance they provide. One drawback to current epoxy coating technology is that it requires separate packaging for the epoxy resins and the amide or amine hardeners because the chemical reaction between these materials causing the applied film to cure to a dry state would also cause the bulk material to gel if packaged together (pot life).
