This report provides the most current technology and industry practices for the internal in-situ cleaning and coating application in an existing steel pipeline. This report presents general practices and preferences in regard to the cleaning, surface preparation, drying, and the application of a coating in a steel pipeline by the pig (scraper) batching method. It is applicable to onshore or offshore steel pipelines in all industries including the oil and gas gathering, distribution, and transmission industries. It is also applicable to welded steel water and brine handling pipelines.

3D corrosion measurement techniques described in this report can be performed in the field, laboratory, plant environment, or other related facilities. Corrosion measurements are obtained under widely varying field conditions and plant environments. This report provides the user with the background needed to make testing decisions in the field or laboratory based on the technical facts available at the time of publication.
This technical report provides descriptions of the corrosion pitting measurement techniques used on underground and aboveground piping, tanks, and vessels using 3D optical imaging tools. This report includes those corrosion measurement techniques that relate to the ASME B31.8, API 579, or special conditions in NACE SP0502
This AMPP technical report is intended for use by North America-based rail car manufacturers, owners, operators, and repairers who are seeking guidance concerning DFT measurement of coatings applied to rail cars.
This technical report provides practical information on the use of encapsulated blast media for repairing existing interior and exterior coatings on railroad tank cars (hereafter referred to as tank cars). This report: 1) introduces the technology; 2) describes typical abrasives, equipment, and processes used; and 3) provides a comparison to some other coating repair surface preparation methods typically used in the rail industry.
The purpose of this report is to communicate the effects of wildfires heat and combustion products on corrosion resistance, material properties, and mechanical integrity of power transmission infrastructure and to identify next steps to research, develop, and implement future asset integrity management actions for the power industry. The report addresses the following general topics.
A wildfire, bushfire, wildland fire or field fire is an unplanned, unwanted, and usually uncontrolled event in an area of combustible vegetation. Due to climate change, many locations in the United States and worldwide, such as Australia and even India, are subject to wildfires due to dry conditions during parts of the year.
This technical report presents the current state of knowledge and gap analyses on corrosion testing of metallic materials produced using additive manufacturing (AM) technologies in environments relevant to several industrial applications. The discussed materials were produced primarily via laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), directed energy deposition (DED), and specifically the wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) form of DED. Many variables may not be sufficiently detailed in the rapidly evolving state of the art at the time of publication for the assessment of the performance of AM products; some variables such as microstructure, post-build processing, surface condition, residual stress, physical defects, and selection of representative test specimens (size and/or geometry) for a finished product are addressed. This report contains approaches for corrosion and environmental cracking assessment of AM materials, including test details that are relevant to the AM processes for some specific cases. The technical report provides the foundation for the preparation of test standard(s) that apply to AM products.
As a companion document to MR21525, this Technical Report provides results, review and commentary on many investigations of HSC and includes important literature data, references, background information, service experience and related standards that were utilized in the development of the AMPP MR21525. Most of the information in this Technical Report covers findings from HSC field experience and HSC data from brine/CP exposure tests or from other cathodic charging experiments. It is important to note, in the use of MR21525 and in the review of data contained herein, that HSC can also be induced from hydrogenating environments and conditions other than from just from CP exposure alone. A non-exhaustive list of such conditions is presented later in this Technical Report.
This AMPP technical report describes the current state of protecting the interiors of tank cars transporting crude oil. This report is intended for and will benefit all stakeholders involved in the protection of tank cars transporting crude oil, including large fleet tank car owners, crude oil coating suppliers, tank car coating applicators, and crude oil shippers. The current state of protecting the interiors of tank cars transporting crude oil was developed by conducting surveys of various stakeholders. This report summarizes the survey results.
Coating/lining manufacturers and/or facility owners frequently specify cleaning and roughening of the concrete surface prior to product installation. The specifications may reference qualitative methods including visual assessments using comparison coupons or quantitative methods including surface profile depth measurements. However, prior to this Technical Report, there was no known data to inform a conversion between qualitative and quantitative methods. The outcomes of this Technical Report enable coating manufacturers, engineers, specifiers, and contractors to convert well-established qualitative methods to quantitative values based on an interlaboratory experiment. While current quantitative methods can measure up to 6 mm (250 mils), extremely rough concrete surfaces (exceeding ~1.5 mm, or ~50 mils) were not included in the experiment due to the inability to stabilize the instrument probe and obtain accurate data.
This report explains different types of corrosion phenomena and contributing factors of corrosion that can occur in fire protection systems (FPS), such as water corrosivity, MIC, trapped air (wet systems), residual water (dry systems), and pipe weld corrosion. The basis for selection of corrosion mitigation strategies for corrosion mitigation and management of FPS are also discussed.
Corrosion that results in pipe leakage or obstruction is the most significant issue for owners of water-based FPS or fire sprinkler systems, in terms of both cost and system reliability. Corrosion damage/products and mineral deposits can impair the effectiveness of sprinkler systems, leaving facilities vulnerable to uncontrolled fire loss even though they are equipped with fire protection systems. This report describes practices that have been successful in mitigating FPS corrosion.
The Bresle patch method is defined by ISO 8502-9. This standard establishes the equivalence of other methods for measuring the level of contamination of salts to results of that same Bresle patch method.
Test conditions for evaluation of pipeline and pressure vessel steels. Compares test results from different laboratories of the absorption of hydrogen generated by corrosion of steel in wet H2S.
