Testing of Coatings for Shielding of Cathodic Protection Currents

Product Number: 51220-235-SG

Author: Ben Bussard

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

When a coating disbonds from a structure and prevents cathodic protection (CP) from reaching the metal surface, this is known as “shielding” behavior by the coating. Shielding is a serious issue that has been a contributing cause for several pipeline failures, and expensive replacement programs. There are many factors (Soil resistance, holidays, coating resistance, etc.) that determine whether the coating will behave this way. Federal regulations for transmission gas pipelines require the use of a non-shielding coating.

The Correlation of Appearances of Appearances of Changes and Long term Corrosion Protection for Aromatic Polyurethane Coatings Used on Steel Water Pipes

Product Number: 51220-237-SG

Author: S. G. Croll, C. Gu, V. Upadhyay, B. D. Keil

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

Aromatic polyurethane coatings are often used in the protection of steel water pipelines from corrosion. Unfortunately, pipeline sections may be stored above ground for many months before installation so the coatings yellow, lose gloss and can chalk. This deterioration in appearance naturally creates doubt about the corrosion protective qualities of the coatings.

The Development of Steel Preparation Technology

Product Number: 51220-282-SG

Author: Kenneth E. Rossy

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

The intent of this presentation will be to briefly analyze the evolution of the steel surface preparation market by focusing on three common methods for steel surface preparation used today (i.e., dry abrasive blasting, wet abrasive blasting and ultra-high-pressure blasting (UHP)) and the effects of water and additives on cleanliness, degree of surface preparation, coating integrity and coating adhesion. This presentation will include test results comparing the effects and results of different forms of surface preparation and the resulting coating application characteristics.

The Edgy Truth About Corrosion - How Carbon Nanotubes (CNT’s) are Redefining Edge Protection

Product Number: 51220-251-SG

Author: Joe Davis

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

This paper will outline the results of using CNTs in liquid applied coatings, resulting in the elimination of secondary surface preparation steps such as grinding, chamfering, and rounding of edges as well as eliminating the need to apply a stripe coat. The overall impact realized from the elimination of these process steps include, increased productivity, increased throughput, improved edge coating performance, and substantial lowering of project costs.

The Emergence of Contact Based Nondestructive Testing (NDT) at Height Utilizing Aerial Robotic (Drone) System

Product Number: 51220-240-SG

Author: Robert Dahlstrom

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

For corrosion engineers to take Nondestructive Testing (NDT) measurements at height, currently they may need to utilize a lift, scaffolding, ladders, inspection trucks with elevated baskets, rope work, catwalks, cranes and rigging or other solutions. NDT inspection programs can dramatically increase the safety and integrity of infrastructure, industrial and manufacturing assets, access requirements in performing these inspections introduces risk.

The Evolution of Waterborn Acrylic Protective Coatings

Product Number: 51220-274-SG

Author: Leo Procopio

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

Protective coatings based on waterborne acrylic technology have been used in the design, construction and maintenance of commercial and industrial structures for over four decades, and the types of applications where they are used, their formulation, and performance have evolved during that time period. Driven by the ability to meet environmental regulations, their ease of use, and improvements in performance, the utilization of waterborne acrylics has also grown over the years.

Truth or Marketing? Hocus Pocus or Real Information? How are You Selecting Products for Your Projects?

Product Number: 51220-248-SG

Author: Murray Heywood

Publication Date: 2020

$20.00

A common frustration in our industry is the project submittal process. Engineers, Consultants, owners and manufactures are frustrated by the process. How do you really know what products are right for your project? Data from recent studies show that projects where two or more manufacturers’ products are specified, results in overall project savings of 23% or more. This demands a closer look at the selection and specification process.
