Product Number: ANSI-NACE TM0416-2023-ISO 22858-2020

$149.00

The purpose of this document is to provide instructions on the use of electrochemical sensors for monitoring atmospheric corrosion. These sensors are used to measure thin film electrolyte conductance, corrosion current or coating condition over long periods. This method permits the instantaneous evaluation of corrosion current that can be related to specific environmental conditions in real time. The instantaneous corrosion current measurements are not accessible using electrical resistance sensors or mass loss techniques. The technology described in this document complements other standard techniques for assessing atmospheric corrosion such as mass loss coupons, electrical resistance sensors or coated test panels (see ISO 8407 and ISO 4628-8). These continuous records of material condition can be useful for studying atmospheric corrosion, evaluating materials or managing assets.

Case Study - Coating Failure or Building Failure

Product Number: 51216-015-SG

Author: Kevin Brown, Ken Trimber, Harold DeCelle

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

This paper presents the diagnostic work undertaken to determine the cause of failing coating and spalling block on the exterior of a commercial building in northern Illinois. The field assessment methods used to diagnose the problems including non-destructive and destructive methods for determining moisture content in the masonry, infrared thermography, and visual assessments are described.

Coating Failures By Design

Product Number: 51322-18164-SG

Author: Leonard Phelps, Ralf Leistikow

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Although the form and function of a well-designed building are important, it is the long-term performance and durability of a building and its components that will be important to the owner(s) and occupants. Therefore, during the design of buildings, the selection of the appropriate materials and understanding the long-term performance of the specified materials exposed to various site-specific environmental conditions is critical in avoiding the potential “failure by design”. The case study presented will focus on the coating failure by design, that could have been avoided by the original design and construction team and resulted in costly litigation and eventually the complete removal of a key architectural element on two high-rise condominium buildings located along the Florida coastline

$20.00

It was requested that exposure testing be completed on various high durability coatings products to evaluate gloss retention and color changes. Various systems were chosen to test, some with clear coats and some without. They were placed in cyclic UV/condensation testing, concentrated natural sunlight testing in Arizona, and outdoor exposure testing in South Florida.

Design Of Cathodic Protection System For Duplex Stainless-Steel Pipeline: Protection Criteria And Hydrogen Embrittlement Management

Product Number: 51322-18124-SG

Author: Ashraf Al Aasmi, Kathy Buckingham, Ziru Zhang, Timothy Bieri

Publication Date: 2022

A life cycle cost assessment led to the selection of DSS for field gas gathering network composing of more than 200 miles of pipelines. Buried portions are provided with external coating. Furthermore, due to high chloride content in the soils, the external corrosion threat was mitigated through the use of an external coating supplemented with CP.

As there was no industrial reference covering onshore DSS pipeline CP criteria, lab testing was conducted to establish the criteria and confirm if the risk of hydrogen embrittlement is managed appropriately. This is further evaluated with field data to confirm pipelines integrity.

Development and Implementation of a Novel Method to Remove Inorganic Zinc Coating from Low Alloy Steel

Product Number: 41215-913-SG

Author: Barry Messer, Yasir Idlibi, Sergio Vitomir

Publication Date: 2015

$20.00

Inorganic zinc (IOZ) silicate coating was previously applied to partially fabricated low alloy, 21/4 Cr-1MoV, high temperature, hydrogen, reactor vessels for long-term storage corrosion protection prior to final welding and post weld heat treatment (PWHT) at 690-720°C (1274-1328°F). The need for complete coating removal to mitigate the known embrittlement and weld cracking that can occur after welding and PWHT led to the development of a novel, environmentally friendly method to remove IOZ to trace levels below 1 ppm.

Developments In Abrasive Blast Nozzle Technology: Reducing Noise Exposure While Preserving Nozzle Performance And Usability

Product Number: 51322-18086-SG

Author: Matthew Sullivan, Christopher Sullivan

Publication Date: 2022

$20.00

Abrasive blasting operations used for paint and surface coatings removal are essential for the maintenance of the ships, aircraft, and land vehicles of the United States Armed Forces as well as use industries such as oil & gas, power generation, construction, mining, and infrastructure, among others. Abrasive blasting nozzle design is rudimentary and noise levels produced during abrasive blasting operations in shipyards, maintenance facilities, and factories for removing paint and surface coatings often exceed exposure limits put in place by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Reducing a worker's occupational noise exposure is imperative from a safety and economics perspective.

Effects of Scratch Defects in Epoxy Coating of Steel Reinforcing Bars Embedded in Structural Concrete

Product Number: 41216-968-SG

Author: Zhicheng Gao, Robert Y. Liang, Anil K.

Publication Date: 2016

$20.00

Epoxy coatings provide excellent physical barrier to the steel reinforcing bars that are embedded in reinforced concrete and prevent chloride ions from reaching the bar surface under corrosive environment. Such protection primarily depends on the integrity of the coatings, which can often be damaged during construction. Repair of epoxy coatings can be time consuming and expensive. Therefore, it is important to determine a critical amount of damage that can be tolerated without compromising the capacity of the coatings to provide corrosion protection.
